Should England play like Pools?

I'm not taking the piiss here...

Right, our midfield is miles better than Englands. Obviously not in terms of the quality of players but in the way they play. We play the triangles very well and the through balls. Our midfielders make runs and move (most of the time).

I've never seen Maclaren's England midfield play anywhere near as good as our midfield did against Leyton, Leeds etc...

England's midfield is one dimensional. England's midfield always plays like when our midfield plays poorly (e.g. Walsall).

I must of been to different games then as a lot of times during games if we get sussed out ie passing out to a double marked Brown, then we tend to just use the long ball tactic to Barker.

That's when our midfield plays poorly. I'm refereeing to when it plays well e.g. against Leyton... rolf

Fair comment but our midfield has only outshone frequently this season to date.
