England In World Cup Chaos | An Impossible Job Reviewed

Taylor is a legend in English football. What he did with Watford and villa in just a few seasons was amazing and he thoroughly deserved the England job. As a young villa fan at the time I was gutted when he left as villa were in a poor state when he took over and got them to Finnish 2nd in the top division from the 2nd division in 3 seasons. He took Watford from division 4 to 1 in 4 seasons too

Nice guy, out of his depth

Taylor stood up for his players and stood against racists!

Taylor was a great man, I always like his honesty and approach. It's just that he was a little out of his depth with the expectations placed upon his England team. Obviously there was some bad luck, and that Koeman tackle should have always been a red card, but this didn't happen because of one play or player. Ultimately Taylor inherited a job that was never going to work out. This England team was mainly one of rebuild, every country deals with this from time to time. Wrong manager at wrong time. Five years later, who knows what might have been.

Good I remember the bike in the press around the time of World Cup ‘94 the headlines read “Taylor’s Dummies” 🤨

Carlton Palmer. That says it all.

Great video, always liked taylor, that 94 qualification run was unlucky

England didn’t have a lot of talent in the 1990’s Shearer was injured . Tony Dorigo ,Charlton Palmer and Paul Parker were regulars . You can only do so much with the talent ( or lack of it).

Taylor never really had a chance, as the press were out to get him,because they wanted their favourite Terry Venables in the job.

Poor ol’ England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 their run of bad luck goes on… ⚽️

Brilliant review of it. Well done.

Interesting and concise - to the point. We need some more videos, lol...

Superb video!

And what about Frank Rijkaard's wrongly disallowed goal (he was onside) against England in the penultimate match in Rotterdam?

Earned a new sub, excellent vid! Taylor was out of depth…

The one thing you never mentioned, and is very important when reviewing his tenure, is the football his England team played was absolute shite.

Excellent coach. Bad decision to leave out Gascoigne against Ireland. The referees decision was appalling.

Great content 👌 keep on doing this

This is a great video. Subbed.

To be fair, they're all the worst manager we've ever had. Not one of them has ever escaped the criticism of the press and the fans. Taylor was no better and no worse than any of the other managers before him, and that includes Ramsey. In 1958, the press had a go at Winterbottom for his poor selections in Sweden. Ramsey's relationship with the press was always really poor (he had a pathological distrust of 'outsiders'), and Revie was slaughtered when he went to Saudi. Amazing to think that if that German had sent off Koeman and awarded the penalty and England had missed, that England would still probably have qualified. I have always wondered whether the Kraut was under orders to ensure that England didn't get through that night. To stop the hooligans from travelling to the States. FIFA does work in mysterious ways, after all.
