Saint-Beer Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 What with all the player transfer talk, lambert going to Liverpool and poch leaving, does any feel they can't face watching England tonight? To be reminded how great AL, LS and SRL are? To hear the commentators bang on how could are players are and moving to "better" things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint J 77 Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 What with all the player transfer talk, lambert going to Liverpool and poch leaving, does any feel they can't face watching England tonight? To be reminded how great AL, LS and SRL are? To hear the commentators bang on how could are players are and moving to "better" things? I haven't really been that bothered about watching an England game since the late 90'es. Since Lambert got in the England team, I start to regain an interest for obvious reasons. Now Rickie has gone and the Adam and Luke are nailed on to leave, I really couldn't give a toss about England. I'm more concerned about what going to happen to Saints right now.

WealdSaint Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 I had looked forward to watching 3 of our players in the team. But after the RL news and knowing that LS & AL are pretty certain to follow them, I just don't want to watch.

Monk Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 The thing I find most bizarre about England and tournament football is we never go out to attack. Always pedestrian and cautious. Okay it worked for the Italians but it hasn't for us. Why cant we go out and play to win each game? After all football is an invasion game and you can't win the world cup by drawing.

Saint_clark Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 People forgetting it's a friendly it seems - and the first game anyones played for a few weeks.

igsey Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 If this were a club, Clyne would walk into the starting line up. Also, why Welbeck ahead of Stirling? With that change I'd expect this to be the starting team in Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 personally this is a terrible game but I understand the commentators have to talk it up. Let me know if you think England can keep the ball for more than 20 secs cos Gerrard and Henderson seem to think they are Pirlo and start launching balls down the channel without finding a runner, its like watching league 2, pass it around lads. This is terrible football, we got lucky from a throw in, great finish though, Glen Johnson is embarrassing and if anyone here thinks that based on this 1st half our play is going to beat costa rica let alone Italy I will have whatever your having.

doddisalegend Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 Sturbridge's goal a side what an absolute bore fest this game is. Adam not exactly setting the world on fire and both Clyne and chambers are an improvement on Glen Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 Friendlies are so pointless at that speed of match. Get more from training games. But then we're supposed to be practicing patient possession. Not sure England fans will ever get that. You can feel the 'get it forward, get stuck in, shooooot' default of half the stadium.

sandwichsaint Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 Much better when Lallana comes central, he's a far better play maker than Rooney (who's not a play maker at all). Shaw and either of Clyne or Chambers would add massively to this side. Bet Welbeck lives in a cul-de-sac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
