mattiiiboiii7 Posted 13 November, 2015 Share Posted 13 November, 2015 Hi all. I'm at the Wales vs Netherlands game this evening in Cardiff and it looks like VVD and Clasie are starting. I'll be keeping my Saints eye out for both and how they are getting on! Twitter has posted the team and it looks like Clasie will be playing CDM and VVD part of a back 3. I'll be interested to see if VVD dominates like he does for us and if Clasie can stamp his authority on the game ....!! Fingers crossed no injuries too ...!!!

Batman Posted 13 November, 2015 Share Posted 13 November, 2015 (edited) Lallana started Shyte for England so far It is fairly disturbing that phill Jones is still viewed as an international CB Edited 13 November, 2015 by Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 13 November, 2015 Share Posted 13 November, 2015 I'm glad the Koemans didn't bring this style of Dutch football to saints three centre backs playing passes between them for five minutes at a time does not make for gripping watching.

Jack Posted 13 November, 2015 Share Posted 13 November, 2015 England are miles behind technically. Clumsy on the ball when pressed, slow to move the ball, movement isn't good enough. We'll get taken apart by decent teams in major tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 13 November, 2015 Share Posted 13 November, 2015 Standard Barkley. Decent turn but no real thought of anything but going on a run and scoring a wonder goal.

doddisalegend Posted 13 November, 2015 Share Posted 13 November, 2015 Clasie looking pretty good for the Dutch tonight working hard, decent passing and doing the defensive stuff well against Wales (who admittedly are missing Bale and Ramsey) nothing spectacular but solid and effective.

Guan 2.0 Posted 13 November, 2015 Share Posted 13 November, 2015 No surprise. England are absolutely shocking on the ball when faced with a bit of quality. Absolutely shocking It's almost as if England wasted an entire qualifying campaign, where they were gifted some of the weakest opposition imaginable, and instead of looking at bring through a crop of in-form players who were showing why they deserved to be in the national team, he built the squad around getting an out of form and past-it forward so he could claim a special badge for scoring penalties against dog-and-duck level opponents, picking big team bench players as he went. It's almost like that, but the FA are a progressive modern organisation with a long term plan, right? P.S. Delph plays after what, 94 minutes all season?

Batman Posted 13 November, 2015 Share Posted 13 November, 2015 Our 3 best chances have involved Bertrand. Lallana has been awful so far. Kane so isolated Unless we break with electric pace we have absolutely nothing to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svetigpung Posted 13 November, 2015 Share Posted 13 November, 2015 He's part of the squad at a big club, automatic selection. Read in the papper (ok the mirror) today that Bertrand was probably second choice LB behind Gibbs. FFS he's not that regular and not that special. And as mentioned, Jones at CB is just an embarressing joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the papers and pundits (generally) would still have Rooney as the first player picked as he is our 1 and only great player. Jesus Christ!!!

doddisalegend Posted 13 November, 2015 Share Posted 13 November, 2015 Just goes to show how crap qualifying for international tournaments is. The Dutch (a team who didn't qualify for the euros) are playing some great football and bossing Wales and would IMO give England a bit of battering on this form.
