The young players have spent more time on technique than previous generations. In the 90s, if someone controlled a ball dropping out of the sky with one touch there would be multiple replays. It is taken for granted now. Same with a pinged 40 yard pass that is instantly controlled by the recipient. Even Scotland players can do these things nowadays. The likes of Neville and Pearce  were great players, but their technique wasnât the best. If they had come through now their technique would be far better because the coaches would have made them put the hours in from a young age. đ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll I'll probably take in their pre Euro 2020 friendlies. Oh. There's no doubt that the coaching as well as the sports science and diets have improved players, generally. But if you were to pick individual combined England teams from 90, 96 and 98, very few of the current England players would get into it. Agreed, but as food as Shaw and (name aly of their right backs) I think I'd rather choose Neville and Pierce, for their absolute determination and mentality. I don't think technically, Scotland have advanced. Collins, McAllister, Lambert were European stars. Maybe squad wise we're better, but first XI? No. Probably only Robertson and Tierney would get into the 90s first XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaundy Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Looking forward to this Old Enemy game more than any other in my life. Conscious of watching since the early â70âs attending first in â78. Through the 70âs as we know , the England national football team gave World Cup Finals a miss. Whilst I still am bitter that Scotland were knocked out of WC â74 unbeaten ffs. on the way through the â80s , after the first century of annual contest , it happened that England overtook Scotland in head to head wins . â86 was the last time at Hampden I attended a home win and was glad to be there. England have the squad talent to justify their favourite position all hype aside. Their problem has long been management.  a certain Scotland player is the best I have seen and a few others are excellent. Not long now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaundy Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 We can also remember that despite being the most money laden country in world football, when it comes to international football success in World and European finals then our opponents England are no Germany or Italy, France , Spain or Portugal. Neither are they the Netherlands, Greece or Denmark. Considering it then we have a better record  against our group opponents the Czechs and Croats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to SofaScore him. He's been impressive for AC Milan, going by the numbers. But he only has one cap. Might be too much of a gamble. If Maguire misses out then it'll probably be a back 3 to compensate for the loss. Probably with Stones, Mings and someone else. I don't rate Konsa.
