Slovakia v England - World Cup Qualifier - 5pm KO

[Blues Rock DJ]

Same players, same boring shite, but what's he got to choose from ?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

It's difficult to hold the ball up when you have a hole where Rooney should be able to pick up lay offs.

Told that Sam was picked to bring things back to basics, we are still playing players in a system that doesn't suit anyone

I agree. But players have to have basic skills to start with..... Sterling has started more positively, but why did Kane just try and clip it to Lallana when he should have shot even at an angle? No confidence.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The manager has about 5 European games under his belt.

I'll be shocked if he has the know how to change this

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Sterling having a shocker shocker.

The only shock would be if Sterling played well.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Same old stuff. Faces change .. England don't

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Same players, same boring shite, but what's he got to choose from ?

Barkley?

Drinkwater / Noble?

All better than Henderson.


How long before Knockaert can be nationalised? Does he have an English Grandparent?

He doesn't have any confidence, he seems to have taken a large chunk of the brunt form the summer.

That's a big difference from not being good enough!

We should have gone to a basic 442 for this

Slovakia would be an average PL team

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Ah, down to 10. We might have a chance now.

 

[BrianWade4]

Skrtel sent off. What a surprise. Filth

Like Felliani ..... watching either of them, they just never learn

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Ah, down to 10. We might have a chance now.

That Skrtel is a dirty player. He'd have got away with it if his name was Barton.

 

[Ernest]

Skrtel should be BANNED for LIFE for that challenge

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

If offensively we don't have a 'field day' now we need shooting. Should get 2 or 3.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

That Skrtel is a dirty player. He'd have got away with it if his name was Barton.

He's been Bartonesque all game. Not good to watch.

 

[BrianWade4]

Barkley?

Drinkwater / Noble?

All better than Henderson.

Agreed

No still not good enough and Sterling would never be in my squad, but I was commenting about this game specifically in that post.

 

[Seasidesage]

should've been off in the 1st half...

 

[Ernest]

Rooney should be dropped, he is too slow now, he drags the team down and all the time he is picked we won't do anything better then what we are doing

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

No still not good enough and Sterling would never be in my squad, but I was commenting about this game specifically in that post.

Fair enough!

I'm speaking as a whole

So Alli on for Henderson, so does that indicate Henderson was the number 10 and Rooney deeper?

 

[New Seagull]

Agree with 2 up top.
Why play 2 holding midfielders against a team who will sit back.
We should be player a more attacking formation against these so called lesser footballing nations

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Alli MOM already?
