TALKsport reporting England team for tomorrow

[Pavilionaire]

If that IS the staring line-up then Lampard's a lucky boy.

I think Slovenia could then go 4-5-1, congest the midfield AND try and get a 2 on 1 down our left. Ashley Cole will get f***-all protection from whoever is designated to play wide left.

Also, there's no width there, and it's 4-4-2 to the death.

Radio 5live reporting England will play in all red tomorrow.

That's been known since about 9am this morning! First time since 1962.

I reckon we will look WELL MENACING in all red

 

[Easy 10]

I didn't even know we had red shorts.
Should look good.

 

[nwgull]

Do we play better in red? Other than the obvious, I can't think of many examples.

Clutching at straws some more, we always play better on the BBC.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Playing all in red, maybe Gerrard can find one of his own players with a pass.

 

[The Spanish]

all red. thats us finished. like the grey kit or the wierd sky blue shorts against the argies in 86. you just know its going to go wrong now.

all red. thats us finished. like the grey kit or the wierd sky blue shorts against the argies in 86. you just know its going to go wrong now.

To be fair, we played quite well in both of those games against the eventual winners of both tournaments, and only lost due to a handball goal and on pens.

 

[Easy 10]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we've been KNOCKED OUT of a tournament whilst wearing red since 1970 against the Germans.

1982, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006 we were in WHITE
1996 was the grey
1994 qualifiers we were in white for the fateful Holland game
2008 qualifiers we were in white for the fateful Croatia game

I say DITCH the white.

 

[bhafc99]

Maybe Rooney will finally collect a pass now. After all, he's been seeing red all tournament.

Boom boom.

 

[Marshy]

Chill...we will smash them

 

[Easy 10]

Chill...we will smash them

Says the man who PROMISED me we'd be 2-0 up within 15 minutes against Algeria.
