Slovakia v England - World Cup Qualifier - 5pm KO

[GoldWithFalmer]

I have watched England for over 50 years and this is as ordinary as I have ever seen and that is putting it mildly. There is no class anywhere in the squad. No one that you could point a finger at and say he is a high class player. No real skill, no real creativity and no real hope for the future.

I feel sorry for the word Ordinary,seems year after year it get's a little worse for the poor fella.

An 11 that would still get their arses handed to them on a plate by the best 11 of Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, France and Germany B.

Yes. And most of the top 20 countries in the world.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

The inevitable late winner that does nothing but paper over the cracks in a woeful display

I'm sure Scotland will produce a scintillating game for you later.

Players from the championship, they will have the pride and passion to wear the shirt. Good example, Wales.

If Wales didn't have Bale they wouldn't have even qualified for the Euro and they won't get near the World Cup in Russia

Oooh, is the Malta game PotG?

Prices have been lowered.

 

[Doc Lynam]

English football is the richest league in the world and a bloody mess.

 

[Ernest]

The FA will only panic when they can't get sponsors and Wembley is half empty for matches and their comfy existence is threatened

 

[Wilko]

Not sure on Sam's thinking- Picked largely the same team, same formation, same tactics and Rooney in the middle slowly pinging overhit passes into the stands. What did he get? The same performance and an inability to break teams down saved by a 95th minute get out of jail goal. Surely he realises that playing the same team and tactics that failed in the Euros would garner the same performance?

Obviously not but hopefully now he will do

 

[BensGrandad]

Hoddle Wright and Dixon suggested that they may have to look at players from The Championship to make up the England team soon with only 33% of those playing in the Premier teams being eligible.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

At least Sam can now see what was wrong with the team. It wasn't the manager, it was the players.

Germany B. Lol!

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Rooney in the middle slowly pinging overhit passes into the stands.

According to fat Sam, Rooney was brilliant.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I'm sure Scotland will produce a scintillating game for you later.

Looking forward to Oliver Burke starting.

Who was our MOM for me as I said at half time it was Lallana.

Well done you - another needless post

 

[Diablo]

A lot of whingeing on here....You have to admit we were better than ten Slovaks ..................just

He's got to start somewhere. It's where he goes from here, that counts.

Are there any big holes near your house for you to crawl into?

I concur, also time to take that one World Cup star off the shirts...it's sad, forlorn and lonely.
