England

I notice that the England football team has yet another new handler, Mr Allardyce. It occurs to me, that whilst we have always over-hyped our chances, that this is a poison chalice and yet it seems one which many a manager is keen to drink from. Of course I wish him and the team every good fortune but having been around long enough to clearly remember when we actually won a tournament, it behooves me to point out that you have to actually have "world" class players and since that time with very  very few exceptions we have not had players of this caliber!  
So high expectations will come to nothing as we do not have players capable of operating at a level required to win tournaments. I have occasionally watched our team in action and now and then they do raise their game to more than a sluggish trot of pass the ball across the field countless times whilst not finding a way through the oppositions defense. Of course every now and then we meet a team who are naturally inferior and give them a jolly good thrashing. Every now and then we beat a team who are nominally better than we are! 
The Premier league has been diluted by the long term influx of players from other counties. Less opportunity for home grown players and whilst we may not have produced any better players than currently, we could have had a bigger choice? I do not see the same fighting spirit and collective camaraderie that is displayed by other UK teams, Wales, Scotland and the two Ireland's. If we could generate that it would go a long way to improving our overall performance.
Now old Guesty is no expert, I was no footballer and certainly I've never managed but it does not need an expert to know that we are simply not good enough.
Well the Guestling solution is keep it simple, play everyone in their right position, get them to do their job and try to score more goals than the opposition. You see simple and simple is always best!
