Yorkie Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'm surprised the FA ever agreed to have another friendly in Spain after the events of last time. (Racist chants). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Always found it strange that in Spain they kick off at 10pm. They always do stuff like this late in the day, it's Spanish tradition. They tend to socialise later in the day because of their siestas and working hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 What is the maximum amount of subs permitted to come on in this game? 5 I do believe. Capello has promised club managers that he'll be making several half-time subs. think they just said 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I don't think Ashley has had a poxy season, far from it, but I'm surprised he gets all the plaudits when I'd say Luke Young, Martin Laursen and Barry have all been better for us. Ashley is the most exciting player we have, though. I actually rate Downing, he owned us at our place this season. Young's better, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Like the look of Barry and Carrick in central midfield. Yeah, cause they'll keep the ball on the ground with quick passes. No Gerrard hollywood balls tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality player, who hardly ever makes the wrong decision with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I see the customary ITV shitty picture quality is here in all it's glory. won't it be spanish tele's pictures rather than ITV sending an entire crew over for the match ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edd Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Heskey does his "being fouled outside, but not going down until inside" routine. Regardless of where the foul was Pique should have been off. They gave offside and Heskey was a yard on when the ball was played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture you get on Sky's coverage of Spanish football seems a lot better, and clearer, than this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Like the look of Barry and Carrick in central midfield. Yeah, cause they'll keep the ball on the ground with quick passes. No Gerrard hollywood balls tonight. England have dominated Spain for periods. And that's becuase the team Capello has put out has 11 players who to a man are decent to good at what their position is meant to provide for that level. Central midfielders who pass well and intelligently, wingers with pace and the ability to dribble with the ball, strikers with either strength or movement/pace, mobile fullbacks, etc. None of this "oh lets play Gerraarrrrrrrrdddd and Lampard in central midfield because they score 15-20 goals a season", or "lets start Beckham every game because he can hit wonderful 600 yard diagonal crossfield and/or cross-stadium balls".

Gerrard for England just goes so over the top with stuff and negatively affects the rest of the team because of it. Stupid long ball after the other.
