Can't we have a Co commentator who isn't rooted in the didn't work hard enough mentality? Id much rather listen to seedorf or Henry

It really is, he's much like Mark Bright - a former footballer who was bang average, whining on about the performances of players on another level entirely to him. A bit like us then Except none of us were stupid enough to get the Armani logo tattoed in us.

Listening to savage is painful

England really are the NUFC of international football. Keep a failure of a manager because he should have a 4 year cycle

Pirlo dictating this with and without the ball, the triangles Italy are using to create space for him are very good

Aww Verrati dropped.

But that has nothing to do with Carr. He's not the one deciding the overall transfer strategy he's the one implementing it.

And buying players cheap to sell them expensive isn't a philosophy suited to success. That's my point. Buy players to win you f***ing football matches and hold onto them if they're good enough to do that. It isn't but the horrible truth is that his remit. Like so many things Newcastle it's hard to gauge true value or worth when the club is set up in such a ramshackle way

Yup that's why teams playing a registered tend to have 2 players in front of the deepest midfielder if he's creative. Watch France tonight who play 433 but with Pogba and Matuidi covering a lot of the ground in front of Cabaye This is also apart of the reason why Liverpool fell apart at the end of the season they ran out of legs Henderson was knackered and Allan and lucas aren't good enough players all around to play the box to box role Yeah, it just doesn't work with a midfield 2 like that. Id only look to play someone that deep if they were Makelele quality, other than that I'd prefer Wilshere in there who can play deep but has enough awareness of the role to know when to move up. I don't think Wilshere is good enough to play in a midfield two at international level personally. In fact I don't think any of our central midfielders are. We either go 4-2-3-1 with a double pivot forming a shield or we go 4-3-3 with given our midfielders an anchor I don't think we have the players to play either system particularly well mind. Yeah I'd look at 4-3-3 because you have the flexibility with it to pull your wide men back deep. No idea about who to play the deeper role but ahead of him I'd have Wilshere and Barkley. Priority for the Euros for me would be to have Barkley and Sturridge develop a very good understanding of each other's play. Yup I think that's the biggest problem a complete lack of players who can play the deeper midfield role. It's more apart of the endemic problem throughout English football though, we don't excel at having players playing specialised roles

I felt Gerrard just went missing plain and simple. Bottled it for me, it's fine playing few xabi alonso and Pirlo do it week in week out but they show for the ball and look to make things happen Gerrard didn't do that

I think the opposite lol, Gerrard didn't come and show for the ball nearly often enough leaving Henderson to do it. Gerrard doesn't have the legs to push forward hence the whole reason for playing Henderson as a box to box player. Henderson doesn't have the range of passing or creativity to play the deepest lying midfielder unless you want to utilise him as more of an anchor. If that is the goal then playing Gerrard alongside him doesn't make much sense as the space between the back 6 and the front four will be too large.

Lol, clever cunt cancer would have worked

Only a moron as far as we are concerned. From his own perspective he's doing a great job all that few advertising plus profit from TV money and transfer fees. He's laugh all the way to bank at the expense of us

Ashley would trouser all the compensation and invest 8 million for shares in Winners. Too good ever be true for us sadly.

Roy deciding to go Alan Pardew on us and play Welbeck because he works hard didn't help like. Also once again we struggled to assert any sort of control over the game, Gerrard barely showed for the ball often leaving Henderson to come and pick it up from deep where he should actually be shuttling between the lines

Two games which have led to the embarrassment of being knocked out at the group stages. Obviously, but we knew before it was a tough group and we wanted to give young players a chance. I'm not saying it's not a bad result, I just hate the way people trot out the same old criticisms regardless of the actual circumstances. Its a group we should be getting out of for me.

He should, as I said this world cup has been a dismal failure and as the manager he has to take responsibility for it. we're not good enough, simple as. hodgson does have to take some blame but most of it isnt his fault. We should be good enough to get out of the group stages to be honest.

So despite the complete and utter failure Hodgson won't resign.

Ron, Carr does select players which are suitable for Ashley blue print of buy em cheap sell em expensive. The issue is the manager isn't suitable for this philosophy

We really, really need a dominant central midfielder to pop up from somewhere in the next 2 years like. Yup Barkley is a AMC and lacks defensive awareness

Yup, Not many seem to agree with us like.
