New London Lionesses FC (talks football)

They say Messi had natural talent and Ronaldo worked relentlessly and was obsessed a perfecting his game and craft Well KANE also perfected his craft from a young boy on loan in the championship to become the best no 9 in the world Some players are just not appreciated

If there is a clear noticable gap of quality between you and your opposition What makes you think you can play progressive, tippy tappy, pass pass "playing out from the back" style against a team of superior playing ability And execute it Arrogance Delusional

London City lionesses looked a class above Tottenham today. They could have scored 10. City pounced on spurs as their dominant midfield over powered them every time. Spurs could not play through. Lionesses superior in all aspects

If as a manager u can't set a team up and get all the basics right and win the match I don't want to hear afterwards about good build up, ball retention and ball steals in the final third Gets the basics right first

Soo. Trent A Arnold is spoken in high regards with the ball and thoroughly questioned with his defensive capabilities He has worked with some superb managers. Surely it's their job to improve that side of his game Unless of course he don't like defending Curious

Let's be honest Elite football is has has always been flooded with corruption - players, refs, agents, managers, club running, owners. Dodgy deals, moving assets around. It's nothing new. If your doing it don't get caught If city are guilty then huge punishment on the way

A good manager don't go into a club and say"i only play 433 or 352" A good manager chooses a formation that best suits the players at their disposal and reflects the qualities within the group The style of play should also be dictated by the capability of the players

Shouldn't a manager say 'what are our strengths and how do we play to them!? What are our weaknesses and how do we strengthen those areas Not just say' this is how we will play, this is what I want u to do without assessing if the group is actually capable Build the end game

When u finish 17th 2 years in a row and then throw 450 million to stop the rot You can't start how de zerbi has If he don't get 4 points from next 2 games it could be time to go Brutal but at this level, this is below an acceptable standard

Facebook flashback to the glory days. 2 of our great American stars. They had to return home just before our big fa cup tie v crystal palace sadly But.. Being legends they flew back just to play that match. Some things always get remembered Some players never get forgotten

With the international break coming and seeing Thomas tichel on TV again I can't help feeling that I still want more answers from him following the world cup It feels like he's been kept in hiding I don't want a cover up and jokes. I want a real honest diagnosis

Modern day football The very thing (the goal) that u set out to protect and defend each and every match like your lives depend on it Is matched by tippy tappy pass pass unnecessary passes right in front of that thing u are protecting Pass pass pass Bore bore bore Not exciting

The 'rigid modern day coaches who only attempt to play out from the back are now being criticised and rightly so We can all have a vision, end goal and ideal style But If the players u work with are not of the level to execute then as a coach u are failing the group

Some players you will always hold in high Regard because They gave everything Committed Earnt trust Genuine nice people Others Become distant memories

Imagine if the FA never made gaining coaching qualifications so restrictive Imagine the FA not wanting their golden A licence only for the pro game The reality would be tens of tousands of ground level A licence coaches coaching the kids of tomorrow But they don't want that

When foreign students do English fa coaching courses they have their home country qualification downgraded by 1 level Because the English fa value our qualifications above all others We fail at elite level and talk about copying other countries like Spain via youth coaching

In a game that meant nothing I found myself giving the biggest cheer of the tournament when bellingham scored

JUDE BELLINGHAM IS SIMPLY OUTSTANDING

We get 90 mins out of saka once we are out in a match that means very little Makes no sense

Second half v france Clearly France have came out a different team after their first half embarrassment But England changed the shape and have lost the centre by adding a second striker
