If you are a coach, do you start with the basic system that you want to play, and find the right players to play that system, or do you build a system that uses your best players in the best way possible.

In my opinion, most modern coaches start in the wrong place. They start with the modern way of playing the game and they shoe horn the available players into that system. Currently, the best English player is Kane. He scores goals regularly at the top level, if you play to his strengths. He does not have pace, so he plays the game in a different way, and he is very successful in the way he plays. He is at his best as a No10, with another forward taking the defensive line deeper in order to create his that couple of yards of space for him to get his shots off. But a front 2 is no longer a popular way to play the game. It is out of fashion with the deep thinkers in the game. It isn't sexy. So we abandon our best player, and we try to play the modern way. After all, no coach wants to be labelled a dinosaur by his fellow professionals, do they.

If you accept that Kane needs to play in a front 2, then that enforced a fundamental re-organisation on the structure of the rest of the team, and in turn, that demands that many other players must change. We did not get the ball forward quickly enough, partly because we did not have the right type players in midfield, and there was not enough movement in front of the passer either. All that is a consequence of not playing your best player in his best position.

i'll just re quote this stat. Harry Kane has played sixteen internationals against elite nations and scored twice. Both in friendlies.

Top flight football in England is extremely boring, the prem,best league in Europe?, in your dreams, whatever happened to the days when we had kanchelskis, giggs, overmars, ginola, shearer, henry, proper exciting footballers, if shearer played now he,d be bored stiff, people keep knocking kane but he has to come back into midfield to get a kick, the sad thing is, we do have young exciting players but they are being constantly shackled and their talent stifled by this constant turgid chess match style of play, its just awful...

Nothing to do with effort or commitment it is down to not selecting the right players to start with and wrong subs during the game.

Taking Foden off was shear stupid. Dont play Grealish front left, play him where he can pick up the ball centrally instead of Kane dropping deep. Rasford should have come on for Sterling and Lewin for Kane. Phillips or Rice no need for both.

Pickford
Walker Stones Mings Chillwell
Rice
Mount Grealish
Foden Kane Sancho

Bring on Rashford, DCL, Bellingham, if chasing

Henderson, Mcguire, leeds lad to firm up a bit if fit and needed.

It's not about the team selection though is it. It's about the tactical ineptitude of the manager who constantly tries to make sure that England play safety first, defensively percentage football hoping for an occasional opening. Utter crap. 180 minutes and 1 goal compared to, say, Italy's 180 minutes of attack and press and 6 goals.
