ITT: Eliminated teams say what changes they'd like made to their national teams before the 2018 World Cup qualifiers start.
>Djourou out, Klose in While none of his mistakes actually led to goals, you simply can't afford to have a CB that at least once per match makes a mistake that could lead to a goal.
>Lichtsteiner reduced to a sub by the next world cup He wasn't bad at the Euros, just not great. And Petkovic needs fullbacks who can get forward, which is why Lang should gradually become a starter, also he links up with Shaqiri well
>Frei in for Dzemaili Again, Dzemaili didn't do badly, just not great
>Switch to a 442-Diamond/433 system Shaqiri behind the two strikers, Seferovic alongside Derdiyok, Mehmedi dropped from the team to accommodate that. Seferovic would benefit greatly from having a striking partner who can actually finish for him, after he's made a good run past the defence. Shaqiri would occasionally drift to the right wing, with Seferovic drifting to the left
John Moore
a good manager a good keeper
Nathan Mitchell
Butland should be back soon.
Elijah Kelly
>wilmotts taking some manager classes while he is the best manager our team had in décades , he still make huge mistake like having fucking lukaku being infront to make goals when he isnt fast enough to get it when it come right infront of him
Nathan Thomas
Remove Del Bosque (most important point). Remove Casillas, Ramos, Juanfran, Cesc, Silva, Pedro and Nolito. Give more minutes to Bellerín, Gaspar, Koke, Thiago, Saúl, Denis Suárez and Alcácer. Accept that walk-into-rival's-goal football is an anachronical approach at this point and stop calling slow-as-fuck midfielders/wingers afraid of shooting.
Julian Anderson
Burn sterling, hart and wilshere on a stake, build a team around meme magic rashford
Jose Evans
this desu, ABU for life but Rashford was the only decent looking player when he was on the pitch yesterday
Landon Sullivan
Everyone else on the team just passes the ball slowly sideways until it falls into a position where they can shoot, rashford actually works to get it, good to see that hunger
Jack Gonzalez
Do absolutley nothing. >we will finish ahead of England this time too and thats a fact.
>inb4 muh obsession
Cameron Thompson
we only need a good manager haven't had one since bilić and he was more successful even if our key players were literally who's
David Lopez
Slaven Bilić returning as national manager. That's all.
David Adams
/lifelong/ here
Tell Rooney to fuck off and make Vardy the captain. Build a team around him.
Gavin Baker
May not even qualified teams apply?
1. The fucking coach should be hanged 2. The tops in the Norwegian football association should be hanged 3. Either play 4-5-1 or 4-3-3
Pic related; the coach
Luke Mitchell
>more cadre rotation Playing the same 11 guys each game, regardless of form not only leads to unfit players in the starting lineup, but also eliminates any sort of competition in the squad. No competition leads to unmotivated footballers that don't remain focused and concede stupid goals, as evidenced by the euros and the previous friendlies.
>more tactical flexibility Playing the same 4-2-3-1 at all times makes the team easy to predict. Both the Netherlands and Hungary had >us fully figured out. Of course that could have been overcome by pressing more aggressively, but it can't hurt to have a plan B.
>better preparation Going into the tournament with a cocky attitude and starting 11 players that are either unfit or out of form doesn't work. Especially not if the opponent is Hungary
Andrew Rogers
>strikers Janko is good, but he's really getting old now. Okotie and Hinterseer don't have a place in the squad and should be dropped for Zulj and Gregoritsch, who could both be groomed into very good future strikers for the NT.
>wingers STOP PLAYING SABITZER AS A WINGER YOU FUCKWITS. Seriously, he's a fine supporting striker, but that's a position that doesn't exist in the current tactical system. Either play him where he plays for his club, or don't play him at all. Harnik needs to un-JUST his career before he can contribute to the NT again. Jantscher is not good enough. Both Kainz and Onisiwo are better options with more potential.
>attacking midfielders Schöpf is the necessary replacement for Junuzovic, so >we can finally stop playing Alaba in that position when he's out. Thank god.
>holding midfielders Grillitsch deserves a call-up. Since I don't expect Alaba to play in Bayern's midfield any time soon, it might be prudent to start him alongside Baumgartlinger and move Alaba to the LB position, but that's an issue for the future. Speaking of Alaba, his role needs to be redefined. In France he actively hurt the team by driving forward, losing the ball and not getting back fast enough. If he doesn't have an offensive role for his club, he also shouldn't have one for the NT, his footballing brain just can't handle it.
>fullbacks Drop Suttner and Garics, take a look at Stangl and any half-decent footballer that could play RB. I also think that Baumgartlinger would be a more effective captain than Fuchs, but that's just my opinion.
>centrebacks, goalkeeper Fine as is, maybe get Wimmer more minutes.
Dominic Bell
>Djourou out, Klose in Klose would probably make the same mistakes and Djourou actually didn't play that bad
>Lichtsteiner reduced to a sub by the next world cup Lichsteiner had some good offensive action
>Frei in for Dzemaili Or use Xhaka / Shaqiri in offensive midfield, just anyone who can make the important passes
>Switch to a 442-Diamond system Xhaka and Behrami as defensive midfielders did pretty well tho I'd rather like to see a classic 4-4-2 with Seferovic and Breel "Meme-Song" Embolo as forwards (Derdiyok is shit) and Shaqiri / Mehmedi on the sides, drop Dzemaili Also that means you can still switch in Dzemaili or Frei if necessary and Embolo can play on the side if needed
But most important >Get Marcel Koller to coach our team now that the Austrians hate him
Noah Jackson
>Get Marcel Koller to coach our team now that the Austrians hate him The guy has a contract until 2018 and >we sure as hell won't give him away before that.
Daniel Lee
fugg even if he keeps wasting Alaba like that?
Austin Morris
not meeting Italy
Liam Harris
Why did nobody turn this World Cup logo into an anime girl yet?
Jace Butler
Big Sam Forster should have started the whole tournament anyway
Jayden Anderson
>Implying anything could help Onglond become good.
you suck brits, I'd just stop watching the game if i were you.
Dominic Collins
>Djourou actually didn't play that bad He got lucky that Sommer was there to bail him out whenever he fucked up. He dwindled on the ball too long, and almost caused a goal against Albania, fucked up a pass against France , which almost let Griezmann in, and then fucked up another pass against Poland which would have resulted in a goal if Milik could actually finish.
>Derdiyok is shit At least he can finish though. What's the point in having Seferovic and Embolo up front, making good runs , if they shoot straight at the goalie whenever they break through the defence? It took a spectacular save to keep out Derdiyok's chance, it just took saves to keep out any effort Seferovic had on goal.

>a good manager, foreign if needs be, or at the very least a manager with a plan >a team who knows what they are doing >a team who can cross >a team who can shoot >remove Hart
Cooper Harris
preferably a foreign manager who actually understands modern footy
Josiah James
Well it would be nice if our manager played a midfield next time. That might help a little
Jose Green
>Manager We have had foreign, we have had domestic, we have had those with EPL experience and tourny experience as a manager or as a player. England needs a manager with some bottle, who will pick players on form, who will shake things up a bit, who will drop players, who will risk things and also who is tactically sound.
>Goalkeepers Drop Hart, his time as No1 is over and he needs to be told that he will lose his position, give Butland a chance or a few others.
>Defenders Literally shite, this is Englands weakest area and while we may have good attacking full backs they cannot defend and they cannot mark. CB wise Cahill is consistant but no one else is, smalling cannot pass, jag is over the hill, jones is jones. They need to understand the basics of defending and marking. I would drop the entire defence except Cahill.
>Midfield We do have some good midfielders the problem was woy picked everyone else like wilshire who has barely played and put rooney in MF because he has dropped off as a striker and everyone thinks we still need him. I would drop the entire midfield.
>Strikers Pacyblackman aka sterling is a meme just like wright-phillips, lennon, walcott. They run and that is it, do not cross ever and try to 'trick' there way through. Kane is taking FK and corners, why? Sturridge is average and Rashford makes him look amateur atm and Vardy will put in a shift and will force something to happen. I would burn sterling, kane and vardy front 2 and kane takes no more corners or FK.
>Tactics 4-4-2
Forget 4-3-3, we have shite wingers and need to bolster the defence.
>General Players do not really care while they earn big wages in the EPL surrounded by cheaper foreign imports who make them look meh on the big stages and if one does well the price skyrockets.
Asher Long
>defenders What about Shawcross? The guy is very much a no-nonsense defender.
Cameron Scott
I would be fine with that, we do need some tough defenders, some as you put it no-nonsense players.
They will get stuck in, they will actively defend and put up a fight for the ball.
Cahill is as close to that in the squad, but every other CB is weak like Smalling.
Back in the day you had Sol campbell, adams, keown, terry and even rio would hammer you and even full backs like pearce.
A strong spine to a team can overcome its weaknesses.
