***Official Thread - ENGLAND v ALGERIA - 7.30pm***

[larus]

Not the best 30 minutes so far.

Heskey not contributing.
Lennon very poor so far IMO.

 

[Steve Foster]

32 minutes gone & we have had a reasonable shot.
Watching England reminds me at times like watching the Albion. Much expectation but fail to deliver when it matters!

 

[RexCathedra]

'Dysfunctional' and 'dire' are among the adjectives used on ESPN radio. Things seem to have picked up a bit.

 

[Superphil]

Great save by their keeper, was that our first shot on target?

 

[zego]

Just ... begining to look as though we would quite like to win!

Only brain on the pitch is Barry's ...

 

[The Wizard]

Rooney really pisses me off sometimes, PLAY UP FRONT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

 

[jordanseagull]

Fickle twats, not winning after 25 minutes. AHHH DISASTER!! THE WORLD IS ENDING!!

5 mins later..

Rooney - Poor. GET HIM OFF. Shit.

And your point on Rooney not playing up front, he is having to come deep. It's Heskey's job - AND HE ISN'T DOING IT.

 

[Steve Foster]

First half assessment:

3/10 Very poor
Created little, looking predictable & playing too deep

You didn't notice the sarcasm then? Oh dear.


Defoe on 2'nd half.

 

[SUIYHP]

terrible performance from England

 

[Muzzman]

Dog's mess!

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

That will be the usual then.

 

[Insel affe]

Complete Bollox, we aint gonna win feck all with that cutting edge

 

[portslade-by-sea]

What a load of crap

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Spanish TV aren't at all impressed ... we're "weak and slow" apparently. They're not wrong.

 

[El Turi]

Does Carragher ever do anything other than pass the ball back to keeper?

 

[The Large One]

England body language - worse than France's yesterday.

Appalling. Embarrassing.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Lennon and Lampard can f*** off as far as I'm concerned.

If Rooney is one of the best in the world, how about we try playing through him, instead of Emile f***ing Heskey every time

 

[Ernest]

Bring BACK Seven and TORD :vuvueng:
