Ronaldo Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's obviously written by someone who doesn't watch much football. Ridiculous title, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 You don't think Jonathan Wilson watches much football? Oh dear.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I don't know who he is and I don't care. He's talking complete crap and it's just like you to be convinced by it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Seriously - he's probably the most respected journalist in England in relation to football tactics and tactical analysis. It's not we're talking about some tabloid hack here. Not even sure what the bit about me being convinced by it even means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'd guess not many tabloid hacks would argue Gerrard and Upson wouldn't make those mistakes half a dozen times in their career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 So we've fallen to 20th in the world rankings, behind Bosnia-Herzegovina, Costa Rica and the yanks. Well done guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Can't work out whether its a shame or a good thing England's EC group is unbelievably shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'd guess not many tabloid hacks would argue Gerrard and Upson wouldn't make those mistakes half a dozen times in their career. I'm a fan of Wilson but that bit did make me laugh, albeit I see his point about it being a random mistake rather than a tactical error. He does correctly point to gerrard not being very good as a defensive midfielder as to why england were shit which is accurate. Mind Wilson's best talking about some odd bulgarian tactical innovation in 1972 that changed the face of european football or something, he's not the best writer in the world and when writing about boring subjects that are written about to death like England it shows a bit.

aussiemag Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 England needs someone physically imposing, athletic with a good passing range to partner any of those players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
