[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1083737, member: 56232"] I also don't buy the idea that "peaking" for a world cup means you must therefore be **** in between. Obviously in between you can try new things and it can take a while to bed in but it should be a continuous progression. Jones seems to claim that England can have some of their worst performances in recent memory but that's fine because it's building towards something. The other thing is you don't sandbag right up to a tournament then suddenly have it all click, we have to be putting our tactics to the test on the field and seeing just how it works. If we are doing that currently then what's the excuse for such poor and aimless performances? Where is the clear tactical plan other than just booting it all the time? Nothing wrong with kicking to achieve an aim, as the French and ABs do, but our is just doing it because we don't know what else to do, hence why it's so ineffective. In the year leading up to the world cup, we should have a pretty settled team and tactics with the process now being tuning it to operate at peak efficiency. We should not be scrabbling around trying to cobble something together at this stage. [/QUOTE]
