Ndegwa Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 The first hour was like watching England of old. Playing in rigid lines, no improvisation and predictable. For the last half hour, we loosened up and looked a lot better, so there is hope, providing Hodgson learns his lesson. Okay, we may then be more vulnerable defensively, but we were so hopeless up till that point, that it feels we've got no choice but to take the chance. I swear you don't actually say anything in particular when you post about football Cronky. :lol: 'The Portugal back four that started tonight's game were 30, 38, 34 and 32 years old. Yet Roy Hodgson, an international football manager, didn't have the foresight or the gumption to give Jamie Vardy license to run at them and their old legs. I give up' that true Sums it up really. I like Roy (who doesn't...he's a very nice bloke) but as someone else said earlier in the thread, what is the actual gameplan? What are we looking to achieve? The only discernible tactic for me is when we don't have the ball, where we invite teams to pass through us, in a kind of half-court press. The lack of width is criminal, and for an international manager in this day & age to rely solely on the fullbacks to spread the pitch is laughable. The squad he's picked doesn't allow us to change it up at all, it's not like our Plan A is that solid. I am hopeful still, simply because it's tournament football at the end of the day, but tactically we look unproductive and a bit random to be honest.

TenkoDaLuz Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Both Bruno Alves and Pepe are truly violent players. They have the FC Porto modus operandi well programmed in their minds. Alves used to get away with this type of challenge all the time in the portuguese league. Disgusting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 His record is like 1 in 2 for the past 5 year or something. Shite or something though because someone said sometime. So he's about as effective as Peter crouch. 1 in 2 should be the minimum for a striker up front for England, given how many piss easy games we play.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Aguero's record is shite for Man City given the amount of easy games they play. It's total bollocks, Rooney has been one of our better players for the past half decade despite the fact we've been shite. Replacing him doesn't solve the problem.

I give up' that true If it was that easy then of course he would have. You speak about a lack of gameplan, but the one you suggest is 'give the ball to Jame Vardy so he can try and run past their defence'. Not exactly going to get Jose Mourinho quaking in his boots that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Seriously though, we do well as a team in the qualifiers. We do shit in the actual cup. The point is it's not Wayne Rooney's selection that's the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 http://i.imgur.com/8j336Sc.png We should probably shoot him. Aye but San Marino won't be in the knockout phases. Seriously though, he's gassed man. Definitely has no place up front (Kane and Vardy comprehensively piss all over him) and in midfield he's gassed. Doesn't track those five yards around him and his inability/unwillingness to run means he's spraying 60 yard Hollywood passes from deep with diminishing returns. He's got good technique but he's not Scholes no matter how much he wants to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd start Kane and Vardy but I don't know how well it'll work, same as I wanted a Liverpool core in the World Cup but that failed. Rooney, regardless of opposition, has done well for us though despite the criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Rooney simply isn't a tournament player, other countries with far stronger managers would had dropped him at least to the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
