ponsaelius Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 BTW whatever I said Henderson had in his locker...well nah, he's really just shite. Mr. Average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steggy Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Its not the best we can offer at that level though. Carrol, Wilshere and Micah Richards were all absent. I only watched from half time to 70 mins but the game seemed pretty even and balanced in that period. The gulf certainly didn't seem that big. From the comments on here that must not have been representative of the whole game but people can't be that dissapointed with a 1-1 draw to the spanish, especially with Mancienne and Henderson in the middle. Absolutely dire central mid partnership. Would rather have my gran and grandad in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Carroll would have made our bypass the midfield tactic slightly more effective, maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Shocking team selection from Pearce, but never expected anything else. Henderson and Mancienne are far too timid. I would go Fielding (?!) Walker Jones Smalling Rose Mancienne Rodwell Cleverley Wellbeck Sinclair Sturridge Thought Javi Martinez was outstanding for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Thought Javi Martinez was outstanding for them. He was but I'd expect any decent player to look good given that much time/space/possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novocastrian Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 It's obvious we have learned absolutely nothing in the last few years. The clue is in the possession of the actual ball and passing it directly to a teamate; preferably someone in the same postal area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I don't understand how Forster has never had a call up? Surely playing for one of the biggest clubs in Scotland and a few games in the champions league is better than the level these keepers I have never heard at are playing at?

Dokko Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I don't understand how Forster has never had a call up? Surely playing for one of the biggest clubs in Scotland and a few games in the champions league is better than the level these keepers I have never heard at are playing at? Isn't he too old? I know older than 21 players are playing in the tournament, but they were legit when it started so are allowed, with him not going to Celtic till this year he's missed out, though did do well at Norwich and probably should have been called up then and probably was U21 at that age.

Ashley17 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I thought it was odd when, for example, David Stockdale was named in the squad for the Swiss game despite not playing an awful lot of football. Forster just seems to be under the radar completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Just to clarify, regardless of what the Sky commentators are saying the game against Spain felt much more like a loss than a win. Mancienne is wasting a shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Annoyingly there appears to be a delay between the sound and picture. Can hear crowd reactions before the incidents. Sort it out Sky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 No idea why we're one of the favourites to win this. Nothing special about us at all. Same old England at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 You wouldn't know Ukraine had made 5 changes to their team. For a team that you might historically consider to be rigid and well drilled, they're playing some really nice fluid football. Ukraine that is, not England. Same old rigid, direct football, that's relying on physical prowess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
