I expect Everton to fire Marco Silva very soon, I don't see him surviving this.

Here is why it's the coaches....

Lets take a contrast of italy and England and how cohesive the Italian midfield was in 2006, the way it was entirely built around getting the best out of Pirlo, Sven was trying to crowbar in the likes of Lampard, Gerrard and Beckham which was stupid.. Once Lippi got Pirlo and Totti, it was all about filling in the missing pieces for him to build the best collective. It was just so much balanced something a capable manager will do for England. Pirlo was the best deep-lying playmaker in the world, with the club and country foil of Gattuso who compensated perfectly for any weaknesses. Perrotta wasn't as impressive an individual as some of the English stars, but he played an important tactical role, tucking in to support the midfield and enabling Grosso to overlap down the flank. Ashley Cole was a far more defensively polished left-back than Grosso ever was, but Lippi didn't need another immaculate defender - he needed an attacking left back to go forward and make the difference as he did against both Australia and Germany. Even Toni up top wasn't as talented as either Rooney or Owen, but he was a fine spearhead for the team to hold it up for Totti and was coming off the season of his life with 31 goals in Serie A. It was such a complementary team were so many strengths were maximised brilliantly by Lippi. You can look at every player in the team and see the key tactical function they had. If England had a capable manager like Lippi who maximized his squad strength they would have Won Something.
No need for all this long yarnin. I gave you a murderer's row of coaches with questionable technical skills that were able to succeed once they got capable players.

You can't sit there and tell me Capello, Eriksson and other experienced coaches who have forgotten more about football than any of us will be unable to conjure a formation that will get England at least to semifinal stage. I don't care if Christian Chukwu is their coach, the players are accountable

It's better for you to claim that they underachieved or blame ill fortune for their failure than to suggest that proven coaches who have won almost every trophy available suddenly forgot everything they know while surrounded by supposed world class players.

If the English players were that talented it would be harder to fail than to succeed

Meanwhile, Klopp will stick to the available but pep will want to sign another defender just because la Porte is injured. Cheque book manager for a reason.

A40, u believe the reason why England was unable to get past the quarter finals with that their generation of players was because the players were overhyped and not good enough.

Let me ask u this, PSG have had some world class and very good players in recent years but have failed to get past the champions league quarter finals(the last time they got to the semis was over 20 years ago), do u think the different coaches they've hired failed to reach the semis because of over hyped players?

Yes PSG players are overhyped starting with Zlatan, some are useless like Cavani and David Luiz and some are just above average to above average like DiMaria, Draxler

Check the team list of PSG and point the real top players there.

This is a question of temperament rather than foresight.

A hot headed person who watch 45 odd minutes of play and claim a youngster can never make it needs to cool down their temperament.

No one would have said Abraham will trouble the golden boot, but if you watched his first 2 games, he was neat on the ball, fairly strong in hold-up play (which has always been a weak point of his game, and John Terry had to organise special training for him on holding off defenders). Combine that with his record at Aston Villa and his record breaking exploits in the youth team where he used to score 40-50 goals per season, it will take someone of poor temperament to write such a player off without giving him a decent chance.

Those of us who said it is better we give him shirt than loaning Higuain, or better than signing Giroud the previous season have a reason for thinking that way based on his exploits at youth level..

I gave you a perfect example of how Lippi was able to create balance in that Italian team. One major criticism of England in tournament was the lack of balance and that was down to error in management. If those coaches had created balance I mean who plays Lampard and Gerrard as your only midfielders in a 4-4-2. That is already a receipt for disaster.

Agreed on the points raised. My initial thoughts on Tammy was he is nothing but a championship player like similar to Bamford and the likes of Gayle and Frazier Campbell who tore the championship apart and then flop among the bigger boys so I gave him a success rate of 0%. He has proved me wrong and I am still surprised on his tally already.
Do you see Tammy staying long term at Chelsea?

How abt teams like Ajax, Monaco and Tottenham that were able to get to the semi finals of the champions league in recent years, would u say it was because they had a full starting xi of world class players or because of good management?

Definitely good management. If a coach can create a balance in his team then their is a potential to achieve more than the team initial ability. The examples you gave are perfect. Jardim at Monaco and hagg at Ajax. I will put Di mateo at Chelsea to an extent.

In Tottenham you have Kane Eriksen and Son who are top players
Monaco had Mbappe Falcao Bernardo Fabinho Mendy. How do those players look to you? Aside Falcao who was past it, look at what Mbappe Bernardo and Fabinho are doing at their new clubs
And who says a team needs 11 world class players? Is that another pathetic attempt to grab at straws?

Who are the undoubted world class players in PSG. e.g take their lineup that crashed to Man utd last season and mention the world class players there

Did English managers not include Hargreaves, Trevor Sinclair and co for balance?

Tell us how a serial winner suddenly became a useless manager when coaching England.

I can also tell you how England blended Gerrard Lampard Hargreaves Lennon Cole for Balance. There was no error in management, it was poor overrated players

2010 team had Milner and Barry for that balance you are saying they lacked and they still got disgraced by a young German side
