Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I hope Gerrard can keep up his form for next summer. He's been very good of late. Very assured in that role with all the young bucks buzzing around in front of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not least for saving us from Cuntflapp. Quietly gone about his business and has certainly taken us forward and has us actually playing some decent stuff. Fair play to him, I don't mind admitting that I didn't think he'd be good for us. Pleased thus far to be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Roy has done a decent job, but it's not like he's managed a miracle. England topped a group they were expected to top, and due to being negative away from home (a lot of draws) they dropped so much in FIFA rankings that they won't be seeded. England won't have the home support of Wembley next summer and certainly can't be as negative as they were in Kiev last month, so Roy has to find a right balance. He deserves credit for taking England to the WC in a relatively tricky group, but it's not like he's done something other England managers haven't done (McLaren aside). And I fucking hate those Liverpool fans who think the more they bash Roy/England, the more of Liverpool fans they are. Obsessed cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Speaking of Woy. I think the man deserves an awful lot of credit, personally. Not least for saving us from Cuntflapp. Yep. Unlike a lot of managers he's shown to be adaptable and is happy to set the team up depending on how we should be playing against the specific opposition. When we need to defend, we defend well. When we've needed to attack (like the last two games), we've done that well too. We aren't good enough to simply do the latter all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest n4e Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Despite obviously being a massive bellend I love England's Ashley Cole. Class player who puts the effort in. Amazed that people are saying Cole should never play for England again, he's just about the one player you can actually rely on to show some fight and deliver when it matters for England. Far better defensively than Baines and has all the experience you could want when it comes to playing on the biggest stages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These last two games have been the best consecutive performaces I can remeber from England since... I thought England were decent in the group stage of the last Euro. Roy hasn't built much of anything new with England, imo, but he has done well to get results with what he was given and provided stability to a side that is usually in a constant state of controversy and flux. There is some good foundation for the post-2014 team when several of the bigger players will finally fade away for good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I think Hodgson has shown that he can hold his nerve on the big occasion, and make difficult choices. And whilst the team looked a bit nervous at times in the last two games, generally they looked as relaxed as you could expect. There's a lot of pressure on England managers, and many a big name has succumbed to it. So far, Hodgson has shown he has the mettle and fortunately, his faith in his decision-making has been vindicated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Will do you lots of good if your media don't go mental overhyping the team, for a change.
