International break

Well they come around quite often these days, and let's be honest we both love and hate the international breaks. On one hand, we get to see the nations of the world compete, however, it always seems a worse week without the league at the end of it!

For England, we faced Montenegro away and it ended in what seemed a pretty desperate 1-1 draw, first half was fine for us (apart from the lack of taking our chances) however what I witnessed in the second half was quite frankly depressing. We fell apart, and what's worse is that we could all see it happening from kick off, except for Roy Hodgson, I believe he is a good manager for us but there needed to be changes a lot earlier in that match. 

We didn't have our strongest team out and in my opinion Cleverly and Welbeck should have started on the bench, with the likes of Lampard/Parker playing in the middle while we could of had Oxlade-Chamberlain out wide. Of course we are lacking Wilshere and Walcott through injury and for me, they are key players for this team to work - just look at the friendly against Brazil. 

We can still qualify if we just play to our ability, we are the strongest team in our group but we are simply not showing it, why are the players being paid a ludicrous amount of money to display these half hearted kind of performances I'll never know.
