Title: England’s ‘Finishers’ Finally Wake Up – About Time!
Let’s cut through the fluff and get to the point: England’s so-called ‘finishers’ have finally decided to show up. It’s about time they started clicking because, frankly, their previous performances were about as inspiring as a wet weekend in Grimsby.
For too long, we’ve been fed the narrative that these players are the backbone of the squad, the ones who will carry England to glory. But let’s be honest, until recently, they were more like the dead weight dragging the team down. The energy and motivation that everyone keeps harping on about? It was nowhere to be seen.
Now, suddenly, they’re playing a key part in the Euro 2025 squad. Well, congratulations on finally doing your job. It’s not like the nation has been waiting with bated breath or anything. The truth is, these players have been coasting on reputation rather than results.
The real question is, why did it take so long for them to ‘click’? Were they too busy basking in past glories to notice the game had moved on without them? Or perhaps they were just content with mediocrity, happy to collect their caps without actually contributing anything meaningful on the pitch.
And let’s not pretend this sudden burst of form is some kind of miracle. It’s the bare minimum we should expect from players at this level. If they can’t maintain energy and motivation, they shouldn’t be anywhere near the squad, let alone playing a key part in it.
So, here’s a thought: instead of celebrating this newfound competence, let’s hold them to a higher standard. Let’s demand consistency, not just flashes of brilliance. Because if England is going to have any chance at Euro 2025, these ‘finishers’ need to be more than just a headline. They need to be the real deal, week in, week out.
In the end, it’s simple: perform or step aside. England deserves players who are hungry for success, not just content with being part of the squad. So, to the ‘finishers’ – keep clicking, or get clicking out.
