England v Ukraine - Build Up & Match Thread

What the jesus does Milner do? Seriously? I don't get it, why is he there?

 

Yarmalanko (Sp) demonstrates exactly what we lack. Someone with pace, ability and skill to beat a player. Unfortunately we've opted for work rate and predictability against someone like Chambo who has those attributes.

God them england players **** me off strolling around with them grim expressions on their face like they're all turtle heading or something.

 

I spose they is thinking cos of the Ukraine situation and the crowd they're gonna over commit forwards and we'll slaughter them on the break but it aint happening so far. World's Most Boring Game.

We won't slaughter anyone on the break with Milner on the right side, because as soon as he gets the ball he stops. Looks sideways, backwards, and passes back. Excellent. That's not a wingers job.

 

He's so painfully predicable that you can predict exactly what foot he'll use to control the ball before it's there. He must be a full backs dream to play against.

you can see ukraines tactics...we defend really well

so they are making the pitch as wide as possible in order to find gaps....and they are

does not help that we keep giving the ball away

 

That's why I think someone with real pace could be a game changer for us, as you said Ukraine can't go through the middle of us because we're very solid with 2 banks of 4 - so they have to open up and spread the play, that leaves gaps on the flanks in our favor but we just don't have the players to take advantage of that.

 

Wellbeck has been seriously isolated as well, all this talk about ''Rooney'' linking the play isn't happening.

I'm sure Jay Rodriguez would have to! Lots of pressure on Rooneys shoulders and boy does it show.

 

Rooney has been a major disappointment for a long time in International football, no difference here. Milner has not set the turf alight but that RH side looks a lot more compact than Ashley Cole does isolated at many times.

S'alright, I'm sure a flare will take care of that when Ukraine score.

GOAL. Third assist of the tournament for Gerrard, with a decent ball, James Milner take note.

 

I wish it would set fire to Milner instead

 

It's amazing though, all the top journos really rate him. Against Sweden we were told they couldn't handle crosses into the box, so you want a decent crosser. Milner was ****e and he was substituted. How is that any good then?

I don't want people to think I'm making Milner a scapegoat but he really hasn't performed at this tournament. I don't think it's unkind to say that.

 

I don't think it's unkind to say that my grandad would be more effective than Milner.

 

My grandad died 4 years ago

It's not unfair. It's the truth, he's been terrible. He's contributed absolutely nothing apart from the miss against France.
