Guest n4e Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Was worth it for the Milner cameo. Already got worst pass and corner of the season sewn up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 The funny thing here is, in relation to the quality of England, we're 1-5-6 under Per Mathias Høgmo and that match was pretty much the worst performance from Norway thus far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Who was the blond fella giving the subs instructions before they came on? I noticed Hodgson and Lewington shouting from the sidelines but what is it that Gary Neville does for England? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Used to watch every England friendly but I've joined the "can't see the point now" brigade. After every international tournament failure, we repeat the same mistakes and the same ways and expect different results at the next one. Supporting NUFC and England, dear me it's no wonder I'm rapidly losing interest in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, seems it was him. So why is the goalkeeper coach giving outfield subs instructions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TruToon94 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 No hope for the England team unless we have a complete overhaul behind the scenes. I don't think Rooney is suited to be captain.... except for the simple fact that there literally isn't anybody else to replace him. Roy Hodgson can't manage for piss though at a major level. He's proved that time and time again. Thing is what I thinks missing is that people always say, "we need an English manager". I disagree completely, we need a manager associated with the English game a la Mourinho rather than a complete stranger to the game IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 if i had any involvement my first act would be to stop rewarding failure in the english game, if there are no consequences to being fucking shit then where's the incentive to excel?

He did well to stabilize things after Capello, but he does nothing more than keep the ship afloat really. They need a shrewd tactician to get the best out of those players.

KaKa Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Really disappointed in Hodgson. Has been very, very rigid and structured. No innovation whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shush Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Really disappointed in Hodgson. Has been very, very rigid and structured. No innovation whatsoever. Bang on, I've been saying a similar thing. I'm pleased he's trying youth, I give him credit for that, but he isn't applying them in a forward thinking way at all. If you are defending against England a flat back four and two centre mids patrolling in front of them pretty much annihilates all of our attacking play. We can't seem to get the team to come together closer and operate on a more one touch basis and playing close quarters. Really make a side come at you and have someone near by to one-two with and get in the box for a shot. We seem to end up in the channels and shut out, then caught on the counter.

KaKa Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Don't you guys have a game today? How about mimicking Liverpool with a diamond formation when everyone's available? ----- Rooney ---------- Sturridge --------- --------------- Sterling ------------------ Wilshire --- Huddlestone --- Henderson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Huddlestone can best provide the passing needed from that position though. Similar to how Gerrard distributes from there for Liverpool. He will need dynamic hardworking types alongside him though. Was actually going to put Delph on the left of him and Henderson on his right, but think Wilshire could pull it off, and provide more going forward.

KaKa Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Love the formation and selections. Delph and Henderson are perfect for each side of the diamond, as they have loads of energy, and are mobile enough to cover lots of space, as well as get forward and get back also. Wilshere at the base is not a bad shout, as he is comfortable on the ball, and will play it forward on the ground. Raheem finally gets to play in that position behind a front two that have good movement. I think England will look really good tonight. I'll be surprised if they don't. They'll play much better football I think, at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I can't help but be underwhelmed by the quality in our team, but at least it looks like square pegs in square holes for the most part. They could look pretty good if they work together well. I worry that Wilshere is just not good enough to bear the responsibility we're asking of him, but we'll see.
