Scott7 6,158 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 No reason why not according to the FA Technical Director, or somesuch (copyright der B) He cited their world class players, Harry Kane (fair enough) Deli Alli (not quite) and John Stones (doesn’t get a regular game for City) So that’s not quite three. But hope is always positive. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 10,814 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Nope. Not with Southgate. They have got very good players, but the whole is just not good enough. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,257 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 If they start practising penalties two months ago, who knows, they might make the quarters. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not with any manager,players are just not good enough. Scotland nearly and should have beat them. They think they are better than they are. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They think they are better than they are. I'm not so sure. I think a good manager would be able to get them very close, with the players they have; they do have very good players, albeit not quite world-class. It's not really about the individuals, though. One-off games don't count for much. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,679 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 They do have some very good players as Rousseau says, but not enough. They're not particularly strong at left back, centre of defence and defensive midfield, and lack the inspirations player that others have. I hope that they do well, but my expectations are fairly low. Last 8 would be good for them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
