Gary Neville spoke passionately last night about the 'soul, identity and heart' being ripped out of Newcastle after they fielded seven French players in the second half of their 6-0 defeat against Liverpool on saturday.

The idea that there are too many foreign players in the Premier League has been a recurring theme for English pundits throughout the Premier League era. Neville talked recently about the Premier League needing to get closer to La Liga's 63 percent of Spanish players.
This season as few as 28 percent of Premier League of staring XI's have included English players.
