Tooj Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Wilshere and Ramsey have that Arsenal stamp - always looking to play a positive ball forward rather than just a nothing pass to retain possession. Is it just my imagination or is Terry not as quick as he was? He's never been that quick tbf, and I've always felt he's looked a lot more sluggish wearing and England shirt.

Neil Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Wilshere and Ramsey have that Arsenal stamp - always looking to play a positive ball forward rather than just a nothing pass to retain possession. Is it just my imagination or is Terry not as quick as he was? Well no, naturally he isn't. Not a particularly fast defender really but still a top one. Agree about the 2 Arsenal lads. Just different in style and it was good to see Wilshere driving forward with it - and also playing the simple ball where necessary. All in all England did what they needed to do. Disappointing to see them look disinterested in getting more goals but I suppose the job was done and Capello obviously told them to not take risks in the 2nd half, hence the boring 2nd period that ensued. You can only beat what is in front of you so this game didn't really teach us much. Milner provided his usual dose of fuck all, Johnson didn't look solid despite having the minimum of defending to do, while he didn't give much going forward. Rooney once again was alright but hardly setting the world alight. The Wilshere-Parker-Lampard combination looked pretty encouraging and is worthy of another try.

Wilshere, McEachran, Rodwell (although more of a cb I believe). I think it's time we take a hit/the gamble. We know with the current set up we aren't going to do anything. The Germany game was played out as predicted. We need a new start, get some of the youngsters in and some experience then in 4 years we will be much better placed to progress. Germany are much better for it and we need to take similar gambles, we have some talented youngsters who although won't immediately offer more but will in the longer term.

Well, didn't name Wilshere since he's already in the team alongside Lampard. You need somebody else in addition to him to replace Lampard, with Wilshere replacing Gerrard.
