S-Clarke

Hard to say, he didn't look injured.

Well, we're so slow at the back in all area's - so we need a bit of pace back there. Yosida will give us that.

But is that really a suprise? Arsenal are at a different level to us. We can't compete with them. And it's not televised, it's just 1 of every PL game which is streamed as part of the International feed, which is picked up and edited for organizations around the world. We just need to make sure we do the business in the games we can win. Although, after the last 3 years, seeing us being torn apart like this is painful.

We're too slow in our build up, and too slow in thought at the back.

The last bit is a bit of a silly thing to say. I don't want to see us thrashed, end of.

He should have held that better, or got more on it. not great viewing on the replay.

can we just take a 1-0 now and get it done with? this could kill our confidence.

Very poor by Davis, Morgan and Clyne. Another, very avoidable goal. Against.

an horrific goal. It's going to be a slaughtering going by this start. hopeless.

Looking very hard for us to get out, only a matter of time going by this.

We've looked ok so far, but then all of a sudden a little slip positional wise at LB and boom....almost a goal.

I watched it, I tried not to be biased but he was easily the most comfortable player on the pitch when in possession. There was a moment in the first half I think, where he just glided past players. Not with pace, but with elegance. A very tidy player indeed, who doesn't look like your typical lightweight attacking player either. Puts himself a bit and looks quite strong.

Nope, not at all. He's having an absolute stinker.

He'd be a good shout actually. Swing it around in the 2nd half. Cleverley off, Carrick on - push Gerrard into Cleverly's position. Milner off, Sterling on. Get Chambo and Sterling getting their boots white and stretch the game, get them to rotate as well as they're quite able to do that. It would give us an injection into our attack and a bit of variation. We're still incredibly predictable. and Milner is a full backs dream, you could sit on an arm chair all game if you were a full back against him, because you know that when he's given the ball he will check back, stop, look, and pass back. Every.Single.Time.

Because he runs around alot, and works hard. That's the only reason.

I think they're doing certain models in batches. The older boxes need a slightly different coding, which is why it's taking a bit longer. I've got my newer box in my room updated, yet the older amstrad HD box downstairs is still on the old EPG. I think their target is to have all models done by end of play this year.

Wouldn't want Lallana out there tonight if I'm honest. Not the greatest situation to make your England debut, could do more harm than good as he'd struggle to get into the game with the way we're playing. I'd pop on someone like Carrick and push Gerrard into Cleverley's position.

What was up with the Cesc comparrions after Moldova? It's typical for everyone to get carried away after a 5-0 win over a conference standard team isn't it? Cleverly is another player in the long line of England players, that i simply don't get. I don't know what they do. They don't score, they don't create, they don't influence the game at all. Yet they're raved about. Same came be said for Milner and Welbeck. Oh, but they run around alot.

I wish there was a way for the club to get out of this FL website contract, it's crap.

I personally think Hooper deserves a chance.

I do like how Roy is managing things if I'm honest, and I'm pretty sure that Neville is having a big impact on things too. That's not just because Adam has been called up, it's because he seems to know how to sensibly blend it between experience and youth. Let's remember, we haven't actually lost a game under him yet (ok, a penalty shoot out - but the game was 0-0) and I think we've only conceded a couple of goals? He's certainly made us hard to beat, as the Italy game in the Euro's goes to show.

Would be very suprised if he gets any time on the pitch for this game, I think Woy has just seen this as an oppertunity to draft him in and get him used to the surroundings as I'm sure he's a player that will feature a fair bit over the next few years. I can imagine we'll be seeing Roy at St Mary's quite a lot, as we have a real quality backbone of young english players through our team. (Clyne, Cork, Rodriguez, Lallana, Ward-Prowse)

This thread is probably the greatest thread on the entire internet.

Welbeck is a fine example of this country's obsession over players who run around a lot, but achieve very little. He works hard, chases down lost causes, is quick. But actually doesn't do anything. He doesn't score enough, he doesn't create enough chances and he's not got the greatest of touches. But who cares, he runs around alot. Welbeck for england!
