Ronaldo

fyp

i thought he was nowhere to be seen, especially in the first half. He is sh**e to be fair. His channels of running are wrong he cannot finish for sh** he is very inefective as a striker, don't get me started as a winger! And rememebr he wasn't even commited when we went down, he was looking for other teams, when they realised he was pi** poor they didn't sign him... stupid post tbh he's a good finisher and a pretty decent striker because of that and his acceleration. He has nowt else going for him though and should never be played on the wing ever again.

considering Harewood is a much better player and Carroll suits his style of play better than other strikers, the attack picks itself. I can see Hughton fucking it up again though.

Harper Simpson Taylor Coloccini Enrique Taylor Smith Nolan Jonas Harewood Carroll Honestly, that's the only lineup i'd trust to score goals right now

How on earth does 4-5-1 with Ranger up front alone work? We've played it twice and looked no attacking threat whatsoever.

Harper's little more than a good solid keeper, but there's very little between him and Foster, I know who make less mistakes.

Yep. Just cos Harewood's strong doesn't mean he's going to hold the ball up as well as Carroll, for example. In Harewood and Lovenkrands, we've got two 'off-the-shoulder' strikers (if that's what you wanna call it, you know what i mean - 'second' strikers...) and it didn't work. Not to be pedantic, but a second striker is something completely different. A second striker will drop deep and attempt to create a la Bergkamp Sheringham, Bellamy and Baggio. You were right the first time though, Harewood's an on the shoulder type. If we can employ somelike like Carroll to do the chasing and muscling, big Marlon will fly.

even at 02:16 Frazzle's up trying to make friends

I'm going to donate for the first time. Why hasn't some form of sponsorship been seeked?

It's certainly not the best squad. In terms of depth, I think it comfortably is tbh.

We have the best squad in my lifetime and possible the best manager, I really can see us winning it.

Wednesday

thankfully the draw and Higuain first scorer were seperate bets I lost £14 because of the Argentina goal, could be worse

indeed 4 f***ing quid :celb:

Higuain, been raving about him to my housemate all night

Put a quid on a draw for a laugh. And Higuain first scorer.

what are you like? I imagine you thought he played very well today

He's struggled very badly in the last few England games like, what complete nonsense

shoved a quid on Italy next scorer when Sledger scored, hopefully signals the end of a pitiful run of bets

He plays best with a full-back that overlaps, Enrique is the only one that does

Defoe will be there this time. Agbonlahor and Darren Bent are both excellent options, especially the former. Crouch, Rooney and Heskey are all better players now.

Woodies Ale House in Headingley was showing that and the England game at the same time. Pissing off both sets of fans in the process.

England have better striking options this time round

Complete and utter nonsense. He's better than anyone else we've got.

fuck off
