If you don’t enjoy watching the likes of De Bruyne, Haarland and Foden plying their trade then there’s something wrong with you!
Don’t forget that not so long ago people were fed up of Liverpool and Man United winning everything.
All things must pass.

That’s reliant on Southgate starting him, which is not a given.

Also that age old issue of club form not transferring to the international stage. Rooney has to be the biggest flop in recent history in that regard. Gerrard wasn’t great either.

Deerey, do you mean the Wayne Rooney who was England’s all-time leading goalscorer?
Okay, I exaggerated. Not the biggest flop, but take in to account how many games and how many years it took him with the service around him, and in comparison to his club career, he never fulfilled expectation and towards the end of his career seemed to blame everyone else and sulk. Then the issue with supporters as awaywego mentioned. In this regard I wouldn’t say Owen and Kane were / are international flops for instance but more tempted to say Rooney was, 50 odd goals or not. Who were most these goals against? Rarely recall him excelling in the big games, when it really mattered. Major tournaments – bit of a flop.

The financial fair play rules were brought in IMO to placate the moaning so called ” big clubs”, the ones who used to win most things before the Premiership began and who initially still won most things till foreign investment kicked in big style. Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool were fine when it was all about them but when Chelsea then City received bigger investment and those teams began winning more titles it all kicked off, now Newcastle are joining in the fun.How can a league initially formed because the ” bigger clubs” wanted more of the money in football kept in the top league, start bringing in rules because too much money is being spent by certain clubs to their advantage, it’s crazy and hypocritical, again IMO. You reap what you sow, the game at the top demanded more money in that sector than throughout the game in general and that’s what its got, shut up moaning and live with it. The fines on Everton and Forest are pathetic and unjust and the football authorities should hang their heads in shame for attempting to placate a few big clubs in the sport.
