Are foreigners technically better than English players. Eg Fabregas vs Gerrard?

Question

Most foreigners are better coached when it comes to the technical side of the game. Things like off the ball movement and passing. This is much more important than sheer determination, willingness and passion which is what english players and coaches are like. This is why the England team are so terrible and boring to watch, and why Arsenal and Spain are so beautiful to watch. Does anyone agree?

Answer 1

well thats a bad example cause gerrard is miles better than fabregas

Answer 2

not that i am an arsenal fan but don't insult fabregas by comparing him with crappy cranky gerrard

Answer 3

The British Youth are coached to play the pass, pass pass pass shoot. Try and keep it as close as possible and grind out a win.  With less attention being put on Technique. That's basically why foreign players are More technically sound then british players.  

Answer 4

Yes. I think you may be right. Somehow foreign players read a game better than the English, and there's a finesse and polish in their moves sadly lacking in the English team/players.

Answer 5

Agree 100%

Answer 6

Yes, Just look at all the teams from the top 4, 85-90% of the squad are foreigners..

Thats why most want to play in the Spanish or Italian league because all the teams are home grown and are somewhat equal in quality...

Even the English team is mediocre just because they don't have depth to win anything in a major tournament...

If you really checked a majority of the teams in England see how many are foreigners and how many of them are starters..And compare them to teams from other leagues Spain or Italy..

Answer 7

I agree but also the England players are very well known for their precise  shooting ability for ex. Gerrard, Lampard and Beckham. Ofcourse the foreign players from Spain, Italy, Portugal and Brazil all seem to shine much more than English players as they seem to own much talent, determination and ability of all kinds.
