It wouldn't surprise you if we signed a player on £300k?Quote:

He hasn't got the bottle to pick his own team and tactics. The solution to Rooney playing badly on the flank was not to move him inside and fuck up the one positive we had going, it was to leave him out of the team in the first place. But when you have a gutless manager that's not an option. It's a fake debate to be wondering where Rooney and Sterling should play. The former hasn't justified a place in the squad, the latter has been doing the business all season. This is where the stupid vested interests that plague the English game really bite. The Rooney myth must be maintained, even if it costs us a run in the world's biggest tournament. That's how desperate they are too keep up the pretence.
He'll have to drop that significantly because he doesn't come close to justifying a quarter of it. He either sees his contract out playing second fiddle, or moves on and adjusts his pay to his talent. Don't think his massive ego can bear being #2. If it's not now then next season.Quote:

Baines and Gerrard were shit. Very, very shit. England might've won that game if they weren't playing with 9 men. Rooney was also terrible but he might get more leeway because he provided that great cross for the goal. I'd start Lallana, Barkley and Milner over Henderson, Gerrard and Rooney.
Looking forward to England V Uruguay now. Uruguay seemed less organised than England, 2nd place could be anyone's.
Disagree on Henderson and Gerrard. Pirlo had far too much room and even though Italy didn't dominate the midfield and we weren't punished, it still doesn't make it right. Other than that, I agree. Sterling was amazing! Everything was running through him down the middle. Far from a SWP or Lennon. I have no idea why Woy tried to accommodate that lump of shit, Rooney, and shift Raheem to the wide right where we lost our attacking influence. It was a poor second half from then on and I hope Woy doesn't pull that stunt again. It's also alarming to see our players pull up with cramp in the first game. What the heck have they been doing in training?Quote:

Some people are being a bit harsh on Baines. He was constantly outnumbered on the left and Candreva was always in acres of space. He should have done better in those situations but any left back would have trouble dealing with both Marchisio and Candreva with no help. Rooney should have been helping him out, or if the plan was to leave Rooney up on of the CMs should be there. Hodgson had no answer to it and showed up his lack of ability by ignoring the problem.
Wilshere was awful, he makes one pass and runs away from the ball to hide in some corner. Make yourself available FFS. And what does he do when he gets the ball? It's his signature move of dribbling into a crowd of players and losing the ball. I don't mean to single him out or anything but I expect more from him and he doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes. I hope he's nowhere near the first team for us next season if he carries on like that.
That was Rooney and his slimy agent striking at the most opportune moment, when Utd were most vulnerable. The club couldn't afford to lose the player who is, for some mysterious reason, viewed as the star man on top of dealing with the realisation Moyes was a disaster. It would have seemed as if the whole place was in free fall. So shitbag did his usual and started agitating. Horrible bastard, a whole fake career built on the back of one fluke scored against us and an endless stream of media hype.Quote:

He was only played there previously to accommodate Lumpard and because he was on better form back then the media said wow, he's a holding midfielder. Woy is too brain dead to know otherwise. Barkley was given the role suited to Wilshere. You can't have both of them on the pitch together unless you drop Gerrard which is obviously unthinkable, even though it's logical and essential. So Wilshere spent most of his time watching the game, laying of simple passes from a withdrawn position. Pointless. A bit part to our glorious midfield general like any other England midfielder. There's no cohesion, it's all about assigning duties based on seniority and media coverage. The exceptions and Sturridge and Sterling because they couldn't be ignored. Even then, Sterling was taken out of the game to accommodate that shit Rooney. That tells us everything about this England set up. Even when a game plan is working, if it doesn't have the usual suspects at the heart of it it's dumped. Shit manager and in the main a shit team full of hyped garbage.
It was only a cameo but it was amazing to see all the flaws in his game in such a short space of time. I hope he's nowhere near the first team for us. I can't stand when central midfield players won't make themselves available for a pass. Sterling showed a lot of players up yesterday and didn't shy away. Dropped deep to take the ball even when in an advanced position and drove play forward. It's the sort of thing I like to see from a midfield player.Quote:

Scholes rushing to shrek's defence. Surprise surprise. Not one to hold back on his criticism for Jack, he's suddenly got shy when it comes to honestly appraising the bald twat.

This is why England will always lose. The leech industry build up around the team has the focus, not the football.
He does the same at Arsenal. Our midfield trio can often lack cohesion and influence. His positioning and awareness needs work.Quote:

Its much quicker for him when he has to pick it out of the back of the net tbf.
And the fact.Quote:

He should argue stating bleedin' obvious facts is better than commentating while drunk. Jonathan Pearce should get the sack before Neville.Quote:
