England V The Frogs - Match Thread

I'm more confident now I've seen the team, nice to see a bit of real pace through the heart of that team with Welbeck, Chambo and Young - although I'm not a huge fan of Welbeck.

 

I think most peoples optimism grew the moment they saw Downing was a sub..!!!

Not sure why everyone is so afraid of France, their attacking players went missing in 2010 worse than any of our squad. Reckon we'll win 2-0. Welbeck and Gerrard.

 

So you discount the period between 2010 and now?

 

I think we can do it, but France clearly should be too good for us.

Remember that game at Wembley a year or so ago? they took us apart for 90mins, the gulf was embarrasing.

No, but everyone talks about England choking at major tournaments "discounting" how good we usually are in qualifying. What's the difference there then?

The team that day;

 

Foster, Jagielka, Gibbs (Warnock), Ferdinand (Richards), Lescott, Gerrard (Crouch), Walcott (Johnson), Henderson, Barry (Young), Milner, Carroll (Bothroyd).

wow just how **** is milner? and are welbeck and young actually going to move and do something? should be losing.

 

Seriously? Milner I can understand, and Young possibly...but Welbecks movement has been brilliant.

The match overall has been pretty even I reckon.

Milner just has to be the most predictable winger I have ever seen. When full backs see him on the oppo side, they know they can have an easy afternoon.

 

I personally think he'll turn into a CM in time, but he's just too predictable that it's painful at times.

Solid and organised for half an hour.

 

Got a bit deep and a bit sloppy towards the end, allowing the French back into it.

 

Oxo sgowing some great flashes but disappearing at times. Unlucky to get booked when Cabaye has made two very cynical fouls.

Seems like the media are already blaming the 'heat' for us dropping back. Errr, don't the french have to deal with it too??
