gaggle64 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Mclaren makes me laugh. He says we need to get as many crosses into the box as possible...but he leaves the best crosser of the ball out of the team...Beckham. Watching downing trying to cross almost makes me cry. We need to sort it out.. Oh god I know! Of course no chance of seeing Beckham back now unless McLaren admits he was wrong all along to drop him. (Unlikely. ) I gotta say, from where I'm sitting it looks like a pretty bleak outlook. Dark, evil, lifeless, wasted landscape of an outlook.

Noodleman Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hahaha I love how fickle England fans are we beat Greece 4-0 then 4 games later its all McLaren out nonesence. But then again these are the same fickle fans who wanted Sven sacked everytime we didnt win a friendly 18-0. The team had one bad result and ill let you in on a secret it wont be the last. I dont think bringing Beckham back is the answer especialy when hes not playing himself he wont be match fit and there is obviously a reason hes not being picked by Capello who is no fool. That said Downing is shite and needs to be dropped why Barry wasnt called up i'll never know..... and Lampard can rot off as well it astounds me how someone can play shite for their country for over a year now and still get picked.

If you're reffering to me then i didnt say i wanted Mclaren out. I simply stated a quote from him about crossing and pointed out what a bad job the team are doing when it comes to crossing without Beckham.

Babooo Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 TBH I don't care about international games right now....I find it hard to be passionate for the national team...so much talent but they just don't work as a team. Simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 That said Downing is shite and needs to be dropped why Barry wasnt called up i'll never know... Hear, bloody, hear! Barry has been outstanding for us this season, being made skipper has given him a new lease of life (and a contract). But it came as no surprise he wasn't picked for England, because he's always overlooked, by Sven and now McClaren. Barry is one of our best players since Paul McGrath and he deserves a few more England caps, get him now while he's still yet to peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iun Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Oh, you want to talk about overlooked? Scott Parker. A much, much better midfielder than Carrick. Scotty's work rate is unquestionable and his teamwork brilliant. I would have him as back-up for Hargreaves over Carrick any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaggle64 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Croatia have been playing really quite well, but it is another generally dissapointing performance. 1-0 against England. If England doesn't get it back McLaren is going to die. By my hand if nescerry. Also, 1-0 Scotland. Hope they can get that back too, they've done really well this time around. EDIT: Oh. My. Fucking. God. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goron_3 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 That was some goal Neville...some goal. Rooney and crouch together really doesn't work. Both are used to playing up with a striker, usually play off him. I think England needs Andy Johnson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platty Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 That was so crap. 3-5-2 with defenders as wing backs just doesnt work. Croatia deserved the win. Cant really blame robbo for the own goal, ball bobbled right over his foot, just bad luck and to be honest without him we could have lost by a lot more.

gaggle64 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 2 nil to the Croatia....bloody hell. We really are crap aren't we??? That's more or less the gist of it. Forget the own goal, we would've lost miserably anyway. "Will McLaren stick with his 3-5-2 for Englands campaign." asks the radio. I don't see how, he didn't stick with 3-5-2 for the one bloody match. Oh god it was dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Did Presley even touch Shevchenko there? He wasn't even last man back! Never a sending off. Nielson didn't even touch Shevchenko for the penalty, Shevchenko should've been booked for diving countless times. Poor poor refeering. Not taking anything away from Ukraine (only Shevchenko), they were by far the best team on the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Im not exactly Robinsons biggest fan but I dont think he can be blamed for that goal, the ball just bounced over his foot, nothing he could do about it. He'd done some good saves throughout the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
