Mr. Snrub Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Didn't Pearce say after the Spain game that it was irrelevant that Spain bossed possession, all that mattered was the first goal and if we scored it we'd have won. Frightening that someone coaching your youngsters could have such an opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Think Everton need to hide Rodwell away at CB. No technical ability in our midfield 3. Embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Honestly man what a pile of shite. Talentless footballers led by a man who would look more at home managing local bairn sides. Embarrassing if this is the future of our national team. Fair play to Fergie though, he's got the best two out of the bunch signed up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 To be expected with Pearce in charge, and with the way football is run from an early age in this country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if that England side tonight cost more money than Barcelona's. Bet it's not far off anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Did henderson contribute anything in that game?? apart from the odd directionless punt upfield ? Nope. Didn't even realise he was on the park until he had that 50 yard run with the ball before giving it away. Dreadful player - it's not an anti-Sunderland thing either, he's just as shit now as he was a year ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Pearce is killing the future of the national team. His lack of ideas and actual tactics is a joke. Henderson is so poor because like every fucker out there they get no direction, just 11 lads in a white shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm sure there is talent there, but I doubt that Pearce has it in him to help it blossom. No imagination about our play. There were a few clear throughballs that basically no one spotted or ignored, similarly simple one-twos. Pretty depressing if you give a toss about England.

Something is wrong with the way England actually runs it teams, btw. Most of these players have good amounts of technical talent, but there just isn't cohesiveness.

ponsaelius Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 English footballers just don't seem to have any short game whatsoever. Touch, control and short passing in tight areas just seems awkward at all times - to the point where when it does come off it's almost a surprise. Can get away with it in the Premier league but as soon as we go near an international pitch it all falls down. I don't know whether they simply don't have this ability, or they aren't forced into it enough at youth/club level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Canny dramatic in here like. We are without arguably are best eligible players in this tournament. Dread to think what the future of German, Italian, French and Dutch football is like after they failed to even qualify for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Everything just looks so forced, there is some good talent in there but the tactics are obviously woefully inept, as is the selection. If Rose, Mancienne or Henderson start the next game it will be a farce. The 433 thing is shocking as well, our best talent stuck out on the wing, ffs.
