Neil Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Don't think a telling off or anything is what is needed - he needs a complete break from football for a month or so IMO. I can't see it happening, though. It'll be interesting to see how Ferguson handles the situation over the coming weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 One day a manager will come along and pick the best England team, not just the names everyone wants, Did everyone want Kevin Davies? Remember the Turnip Taylor days: Lee Sharpe @ left back. Carlton Palmer. NOT QUALIFYING Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Didn't think the line-up was awful - clearly good enough to beat Montenegro, but trying to play the killer ball from your own half is never going to be terribly effective, and then the vicious cycle of crowd expectation/England rushing moves kicks in... Almost funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 To be fair, in his day Gordon Cowans was an excellent player. So my Villa supporting Dad tells me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Just seen the England bench for tonights game. Foster, Warnock, Cahill, Wright-Phillips, Wilshere, Downing, Davies. Fuck me that's poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 A poor performance tonight, the players didn't look as if they had a clue what they were meant to be doing. Kevin Davies, Shaun Wright-Phillips should never be allowed to wear an England shirt ever again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Capello is a mong, we should have got shot of him after the WC. Obviously never going to improve either. Kevin fucking Davies man. Why wasn't Milner called up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Cowans was an excellent player in his day,Col.Unfortunately when Turnip selected him,it was well past his day and to make matters worse,he selected him to replace Paul Gascoigne,when Gazza was fully fit.

Yorkie Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Possibly the weakest England squad i've ever seen; i'm not surprised we didn't get a result. You need flair to beat teams like that at home - we have very little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need flair to beat teams like that at home - we have very little. We rely a lot on Rooney to open things up, and he's just not there at the moment. I think the ref could have been a bit stronger, mind. Right from the start, any England player who got past his man was chopped down. You need the ref to clamp down on that right away.

Would have been interesting to see Rooney pick up a long term injury from a dodgy tackle the ref deemed as fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noisewater Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Capello is a mong, we should have got shot of him after the WC. Obviously never going to improve either. Kevin f***ing Davies man.

themanupstairs Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Why you lot ever expect anything from England is beyond me. Its always a pile of s***. Agreed. Aside from England being shit, there's just so much football nowadays that international football has totally lost its appeal tbh. Saturated market anarl.

Guest Stephen927 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Only caught 10 minutes of it, but Rooney was dropping deep and the commentators were saying Capello was going nuts, telling him to get further forward. Crouch is the one who should be dropping deep really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
