We have been very average for years but now we are pinning our hopes on lallana and Henderson so there's not much chance of any success anytime soon. There are some decent players in the squad as there has always been but there has always been these guranteed starters, which has held us back over the years. The players don't play on merit they play because of the club they play for.Why does England suck so bad internationally? Must be the countries overrated to much self pride. It's evident by how other countries view you guys. To sum it up I've heard the term asshole [Poor language removed] etc to describe the English people.
It will, but that imo will act as a negative.
Barkley is holding his game in check and doing what he has to do to please a manager who wants to reshape his game.
I really dont think it'd take much persuasion from Pochettino to attract him there. For one thing he'd be going to a manager who wont hang him out to dry and make him the issue when it suits.
Koeman as manager in this instance is not a factor weighing heavily in favour of getting RB to stay.

Perception.
Don't get me wrong, he's adding bits and pieces to his game and doing it professionally. But these are small incremental developments to a player who was already an established star man with his talents already formed.
I don't think I heard his name mentioned once, either during the build up to the game or the match itself. It's as if he wasnt even in the squad.Such a weird one this, it's one thing if he was being saved for sunday but plenty others came on who were supposedly lacking fitness while we didn't see even a sight of Barkley. What's that now including the euro's 4/5 games of travelling and 0 minutes on the pitch.
Did anyone else notice as well that when they were talking about options from the bench they named just about every bang average young player in the squad but completely ignored the fact Barkley was even there.
Usually i wouldn't care in fact i wish he had the paul scholes treatment and completely forgotten about to the point where he just says i've had enough and forgets about england, we know he can be affected mentally and watching that happen today must have been infuriating when you're the most creative english player this season and can't even get a game over livermore and then don't come off the bench when ward-prowse, redmond, lingard and rashford do.
