[ShogunX]

So we have no runners from midfield which keeps both Wilshere and Henderson within themselves. Rooney is dropping a little deep to get involved in the build up which leads to nobody in the box for the final ball. The formation is a mess.

 

[Linius]

What top-class players have Holland got at the moment aside from Robben?

Normally I'd say Blind in the back is solid. Sneijder and Strootman in the middle should be good. RVP and Robben (Huntelaar on the bench) up front. Then there's Nigel de Jong of course. We have enough solid players just not so much 'world class' at the moment. I doubt we'll get far at the WC with our current selection, but if Louis can make the best of it we might surprise.

 

[HotHamWater]

Fuck I'd forgotten Adrian Chiles existed.

 

[Meier]

Schmeichel is out of contract at the end of the season isn't he? If he was willing, he'd be a great keeper for us to replace Brad Jones with.

Your other Man City youth product is working out pretty well.

 

[Wilbur]

RVP's goal record is amazing. Imagine it with a fucking good midfield supporting him.

Dirk Kuyt

He wouldn't settle with that. Finally managed to get ahead of the other keepers on the national team because he's the only first choice keeper at club level. Anders Lindegaard is the other option we have... Can't see him going for a backup position.

 

[il Diavolo]

I predict Spain to perform badly as they used to with friendly matches.

Italy won't perform any better. We tend to not give a fuck in friendlies.

 

[Freewheelin']

looooooool

 

[KidA Seven]

Argentina look odd with no black shorts.

Don't have to imagine it, we saw it at Arsenal.

 

[K1LLER7]

Argentina fail to score against Romania....

With Messi, Aguero, Higuain up top.....

 

[Kinan]

lol USA. Hope you got better team than this one or you will be raped in Brasil.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

With Messi, Aguero, Higuain up top.....

Spain are the only genuinely good international team around atm

Brazil as well maybe

Interesting match we have on our hands

It's quite literally 4 vs 11.

Well at least Hoddle and Dixon offer some tactical insight into why we are playing shit, although it is obvious as daylight, as several posters have all reached the same conclusions.

Henderson for me shows why he isn't an international midfielder, I don't think he has the nous in my opinion. I know a lot of people here love him but not for me.

 

[arkon]

Great match between England and Denmark. Glad I tuned in.

Rated him this season. And I wouldn't judge him from his performances in this England team.

England!!!

Do they not have any better midfielders than Gago?

 

[TeddyBoy]

I wish England scored goals like this

Schmeichel is out of contract at the end of the season isn't he? If he was willing, he'd be a great keeper for us to replace Brad Jones with.

I was thinking the exact same xD

Also we can play Schmeichel in our cup games bjaelke it's fine

England are terrible to watch, Hodgson why? :'(

 

[3Sixty]

Its the Shaw dogg.

I sort of agree. I doubt he'll get to he point where he feels comfortable enough to play his natural game at international level, and even if he could, the chances of the FA appointing a coach that would allow him to do that are slim to none.

We can see exactly what he offers in the right setup, but if we're honest, that's a setup the dinosaurs of the FA would never risk as a long term vision.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

England!!!

England are in the category with Portugal and Uruguay, much as the moaners would have us believe that we're vastly inferior to them.

The lad is going from a high pressing high intensity Liverpool formation to a static shit one with no runners, the leagues in form striker out wide and no fucker in the box.

Henderson is the type of player that flourishes in a specific role he's never going to be the type to play in a midfield two with the instructions of ''do stuff''. Have him pressing high and the match will change.

 

[Dark Rider]

Costa plays for the first time for Spain
not happy about it

He'll be happy as soon as Moyes is gone.

Digne is in for Evra and Pogba is praying that he gets transfer this summer to PSG.

Liverpool and other clubs such as Monaco who are not playing in Europe this season will not have to pass Uefa's break-even rule in order to take part in the next Champions League campaign, it has been confirmed. Only the 237 clubs who took part in this season's Champions League and Europa League are currently being assessed.

Wenger had a similar insight into Cesc's situation last summer too.

He's best mates with everyone, even if they leave the club (except Clichy).

 

[K1LLER7]

Opened italy so easily.

Iniesta so good.

 

[arkon]

Why is Gerrard trying these risky passes?

Pass it to the wings or back to the defence ffs.

 

[3Sixty]

That turn from Shaw.

Woy pls.

 

[Draconian]

That's a pretty pathetic turnout for the Spain/Italy game.

 

[arkon]

Iniesta so good.

Dat Cerci. Welcome to Juve!

 

[FootballFan]

Costa and Iniesta have started well here.

 

[survivor]

damn, that's a good goal, I should have been watching that match instead of England's game.

This is great to hear, but I'm not sure it's the best time to post this mid England match

 

[Lambda Pie]

Ronaldo got in. becomes the top scorer for the NT of all time.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

This match is dead.

Hodgson is football's grim reaper, everything he touches decays and is left as a husk of it's former self.

The play before the gif starts was great.

[Walshy]
