*****Official Thread - Miami Vice - England v Ecuador*****

[PILTDOWN MAN]

There really is defending of the lowest order from us.

 

[fleet]

That wasn't a bad shot either

 

[TomandJerry]

2-2

 

[carteater]

what a goal, too bad it was Equador

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Three defenders watching.

Wilshere is a poor Forster-Caskey

 

[Pavilionaire]

Poor closing down. Wilshere out of the side based on this performance.

 

[Weststander]

But shocking defence by England tonight. According to the media generalising every issue Glen Johnson is our only defensive weak-spot, but he hasn't played tonight, and we have been terrible. Ripped apart down the wings, and allowing little old Equador to unleash shots from all angles and distances.

 

[fleet]

Wilshere out. Ox and Barkley and Lambert in

 

[Simster]

Great hit, but more shocking defending. Clearly our defending is going to be our achiles heel in this tournament.

 

[Blackadder]

Cracking equaliser. We should have sewn this game up......

good thing we're gonna be playing a much different back 4 against italy

 

[Prince Monolulu]

In the words of Alan Brazil 'whoosh bang'

Genuine question, not England bashing...

...are we standing off them all the time because it's only a friendly does anyone think?

Clearly we'd hope for better when the real thing comes around, or else we're in serious trouble already.

But what a strike anyway!

 

[fleet]

Make me look daft - well take that - from Milner

Even so these are multimillionaire footballers.

Shockingly bad.

Added to which Rooney fat frank and Wilshere again prove they're not good enough.

These are players who aren't currently in the first XI. They should be doing everything to get in. Our attacking players look like they want to play against Italy, our defenders don't

Well you'd like to think that the new boys are playing for their places.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Lampard looking every one of his 56 years.

 

[Simster]

Fat Frank has done nothing except give the ball away since I noticed him.

lampard looks tired
