Serious question

[ClaretMov]

Would this Burnley team beat the current England team

[Bosscat]

I thought this was a serious question

[Funkydrummer]

At cricket ?

[PadihamThickNeck]

We wouldn’t beat the Under 21s.

[claptrappers_union]

Even the Lionesses…

Depends. Do you mean a full strength Burnley 11?

[SalisburyClaret]

Of course we would as would most teams in the PL

[Lowbankclaret]

Even the Lionesses…

Even the under 16’s would beat the lionesses.

Bit like the Chelsea game, 9 times out of ten we would get beat so there is always a chance.

[Inchy]

No


But I understand what you’re saying. Would a ‘team’ that play together week in week out beat a team of individuals.

I’d say that Burnley would beat many past England teams because they were a team of talented individuals, incapable of playing effectively together.

However this England team is a team. And it’s a team we should be proud of as a nation, both on and off the pitch

No, there's a reason nearly all of the England squad are playing for the bigger clubs, it's because they're better players than our lads.

A 5-0 win over a league one standard outfit has certainly got everyone drooling into their cornflakes.

No Burnley team thats ever existed would beat any England team that’s ever existed. None of our current players are good enough to to play for England.

[Woodleyclaret]

Nonsense not good enough for England ?
Ben, Tarks and Nick Pope are all good enough.

...another reason not to watch Clarets!

Yeah course they are that’s why they are all in the squad.

Ben Mee are you for real, I love Ben and think he’s a brilliant player and captain but he’s nowhere near England standard as are some of the players who keep getting call ups.

Or is it they play with better foreign player's around them so they look better

[Burnley1989]

My god, probably some of the most deluded comments I’ve ever read

[RVclaret]

Peak UTC posting here.

[Awayfromburnley]

If we were to play them then one thing I am fairly sure of is that it would cure my current insomnia.

[claptrappers_union]

Where would England finish in the Premier League?

Our last top flight Title winning team would have had a good go at Graham Taylors team I reckon.
