Elliottman Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Glen Johnsons pass completion - 23%?? Kevin Davis, more fouls than touches of the ball?? are these stats correct?! If so then.... fuck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo 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. Why wasn't Milner called up? Milner was suspended. Also, Milner isn't the solution to anyone's problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Spider Jerusalem Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 A dreadful performance - too many players failed to actually turn up for the match. However, how the linesman has failed to spot that handball? It doesn't deflect away from the shitness of the team on the night, but sometimes shit matches are decided by those sort of incidents, and England we're denied again by a referee and his assistants that failed to enforce the laws of the game.

Guest neesy111 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Capello after 3 years in England still can't speak English properly. The guy simply isn't suited for the English game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Aye, you drop deep to find space between the defence and midfield, but its pointless doing that against a team that packs 10 people to defend the 30 yards in front of the 18 yard box. I can see a lot of teams trying that against England now, as its worked nearly every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He links up very well between midfield and attack. With him being the furthest forward, the temptation for our defenders to launch it to him is higher, too, and he's pretty average in the air.

Waste of a position if you have him dropping deep for me. Anyway, the whole england thing is bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 TBF, everyone finds it difficult to break down 10 men behind the ball... there's no easy answer. Put Laurent Robert in your team and let him ping in crosses or ridiculously accurate long range shots/free kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Also, with Crouch playing we need to have wingers on the correct sides so that they can get to the byline and get crosses in. Cutting inside is way overrated in the modern game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Also, with Crouch playing we need to have wingers on the correct sides so that they can get to the byline and get crosses in. Cutting inside is way overrated in the modern game. We didn't get many early crosses in because of the wingers having to switch feet, and that became quite a problem because we didn't create much down the middle. The crosses were easily read and picked off. As another factor in this, I don't think Glen Johnson has been the same player since the World Cup. He's actually very good going forward, but his confidence seems very brittle at the moment and he's not creating much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 England were woeful last night, felt they lacked communication with each other. The only times they opened their mouths were who was to take a freekick and Rooney mouthing off at the ref on numerous occasions. Gerrard was very quiet, yes he's not captain, but as the leader in midfield he still needs to be vocal in his support. The captain mess Capello has brought on himself is getting to boiling point. Weak as piss with his Terry decision and from the start been Capello's England downfall. In a 442 there really is no need for Barry, in fact Barry is fast becoming a really shit England player, while the continuing of playing Rooney at every opportunity shows the incompetence of Capello and lack of depth upfront for England. You can't play a striker that far off form, at one point him and Davies were on the pitch and at club level they had 3 goals, sure 2 of them were from pens. England must bite the bullet and sack Capello, he's never going to win anything, he doesn't have it in him to do well at this level at his age. Bring in an attacking NT manager who goes all out and let him build the squad with young attacking talent, we might lose more games but fuk me at least it will be interesting to watch.
