Dave Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Are the pundits and commentators afriad to be honest about McClaren? in Ireland the Irish pundits were going mental about Staunton after one of our games, calling for his head and ranting about how shit he is Yeah, but commentators shouldn't lambast people in football remember. If credit should be given when its due then surely so should criticism? Taking the piss mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Spectrum Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Allardyce was absolutely desperate for the job last time. I don't think he would get the chance again tho cos of all that Panorama stuff. The FA will probably walk over broken glass to get Scolari. And they would be right too. Or get someone else proven at international level. PS: SWP > Joe Cole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Shorey looked out of his depth. When they showed the bench towards the end of the game, Owen had a face like a smacked arse, and Taylor looked like he was going to cry. Poor Taylor- Wes Brown was hopeless.

McCormick Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 SWP in general is massively overrated... played reasonably well though. Thought smith out of all the attackers played best (not saying much tbf).. had some good touches that went unnoticed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toon83 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 England were simply awful and thats putting it nicely. Typical England performance under McClaren, good start, get to confident, the other team then come back into it and play us off the park with possession to the point where we get desperate and play long balls to a man who is 6'7" but cannot win a decisive header. Lampard should not be anywhere near the England squad as he was AGAIN very poor tonight and dropped deep far too much, when he should be letting Carrick pick it up from the defenders and spray it around to players like Lampard in a more advanced position, but instead when he did get the ball Lampard was a little more than a few feet away from him. The only positive to come out of it was Micah Richards in the first 20 mins, but McClaren again showed his lack of a brain by bringing Wes Brown on to play at right back and move MR into central defence, thus nulifying Englands attack down the right hand side. The whole England system needs an overhaul starting with McClaren. We need a manager with guts who doesnt pick players on reputation, and who has the guts to drop the likes of Lampard and Robinson.

Dave Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Have Gerrard and Carrick played together in a normal 4-4-2 for England? Can't remember. If not, fuck Lampard off and see if if works better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Fantastic flick by Smith, world class. Nice little pass there, an' all. Talentless indeed. I've never heard of a flick been described as world class before. I know you're not exactly regular, but that was very tongue-in-cheek. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay man, Carrick was fucking toss, again. We looked miles better with Barry in there and individually he was a massive step-up from MC. I thought Lampard was quality tonight, an' all.

Wullie Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Some mental knee jerking going on in here. We've lost a friendly against a good side that on another night we'd have won at a canter. Not that I'm any fan of McClaren, but howay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
