[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 1022294, member: 72409"] And i think it was during autumn he started to look at improving the attack England were probably the best performing team in the world cup, South Africa were just immense that day while England lost their composure. Cant slate a teams tactics a week after you rpobably lauded them for the NZ performance, its the way they played rugby and was effective (though Tuilagi was a large part of that, I do think a strike runner is important as I've mentioned) The six nations was finished in september wasnt it? So hard to really get an accurate post WC feel from it, meaning it and the ANC were the first chances to see where his team was at over a course of games Again I'd direct you to Charlie morgan for Telegraph, a very interesting article, and they are a team in transition. Make no mistake though, Eddie is clearly not afraid to mkae tough decisions, like when he simply told Hartley "you're ****** mate" He's not a hugely "defense only" coach historically either, so I dont think Mourinho comparisons are fair when you take in how Australia played under him, how Japan played under him, and how England have played at times under him (less so in last year or so ofc) Just to clarify, I get that England arent looking great offensively, I get it's not what you guys expect, but lets give him the chance to really develop this team for next WC, which if I remember correctly happened a lot between what will equate to this summers tour, and the following summer [/QUOTE]
