Par contre WW,he came very close tonight with a great strike,give the lad time

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

fantastic ending music

And what was that ball all about?

 

[REDLAND]

Ashley Cole, once again our best player

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Par contre WW,he came very close tonight with a great strike,give the lad time

He had one shot.

He gave the ball away AT LEAST 8 times.

He played passes in tight situations that put our players under pressure.

He missed half a dozen tackles

He was beaten in the air for the goal we conceded.

He was first capped for England FIVE years ago, and you ask for me to give him time?!

I thought we done ok tonight. I felt we were unlucky not to win. Richards looked ok (but not particularly amazing). Johnson was poor IMHO. I thought the dutch were terrible. they offered nothing apart from the goal. Only in the latter stages of the second half did they start to play.

Best thing about the game today - NO MOTSON.

Fine commentary by Steve Wilson. Didn't try to keep making dodgy jokes, didn't go overboard on the stats and ignored Lawro's bad puns.

Hopefully this is a sign for the future of commentary on the BBC.

 

[jakes right boot]

How many people changed their minds about Hargreaves?

I thought Richards was good, his first international and he got to mark Robben who ain't bad !!

I can imagine you saying that in a Crocs on Tour video!Fair point,but I still believe theres always room for improvement,and that we really didn't look bad on the whole.

Ashley Cole had a very good game

Mica Richards had a great debut

Rooney got his first goal in ages

They rarely looked like scoring
