    I suspect the game against Sweden will be a dull off. They will essentially try to bore each other into submission.
    But...but... Glenn Hoddle said ‘we’ are a good passing side. So it must be true!

    Time to introduce Welbeck imo.

    The random places the ball goes when he's trying to get it under control could well create a goal scoring opportunity.

    If only ITV would let you change the fúcking audio track on their broadcasts...

    Southgate has also come up with 'the love train' at set pieces.

    Saying we have no creativity is harsh, though. Henderson can pick a pass, Lingard has a spark about him etc.

    Oh right - one player who can "pick a pass" (any idea what that actually means, r, because to me it seems just to be cliché-ridden *******s). I like Lingard, I don't think he is good enough to unpick the best defences though. No creativity may have been harsh, given that Henderson picking a pass and Lingard having a spark about him is the best you can come up with, I wouldn't say "very limited creativity" is entirely innaccurate

    They created about 40 chances between them in the league last season. Slightly more than one a game. This is also in teams with better players. The only creative player England have is Alli and I don’t think he has ever had a decent game for England.
