The Kraken Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 None. This game is one of the worst I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 I'm sure some people will claim he is the difference between being 2-0 up and being 15-0 up. He probably wouldn't have made much difference as the rest of the team has been sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didcot Saint Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 And as for that Donkey Grant Holt who reckons he's better than anyone..... He's not fit to lace Rickie's boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faz Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 He'd have scored one at least - the penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets B Avenue Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 I didnt know Jermaine Defoe had been twittering obscenities and racial slurs. Oh. Why the hell didnt he get a game instead of that totally overated tw at, Welbeck then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 I can't believe ITV show this rather than Coronation St. With their dull team of Rubber Faced Brummie Twa^t Adrian, and the wooden f^cker Townsend as an expert, I'd far rather watch the Street frankly.

GAS Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 Know its hard when team sits back but can't help wondering how many Lambert would have got tonight? (clearly game is boring as now logged on here instead!)He would definitely have scored and that I'm sure. But he would find it hard fitting in with those world beating players, Cleverly, Caroll and Shelvey, to name just a few and that master class passer Carrick. But to be fair, it is always hard playing against a pub team, they do defend deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 (edited) Know its hard when team sits back but can't help wondering how many Lambert would have got tonight? (clearly game is boring as now logged on here instead!) there you go with those hypothetical questions again . you'll upset Turkish you know. Certainly RL has lots of experience of scoring against lower level sides, where perhaps the " cultured Prem. style " of pretty football doesn't always cut it. But it's not unusual for top sides to struggle against the minnows in such fixtures. I'm just reading reports about Sweden's game against The Faroe Islands yesterday. They are the Nordic equivalent of San Marino or Andorra, and play on a plastic surface, as the Arctic-like climate and the strong winds make it difficult to maintain a grass pitch of any quality. Faroe Islands actually took a second half lead, but it took a 2nd half subbing to bring Anders Svensson into the game and tighten up their ineffective midfield rabble. Sweden eventually scored a goal and only a goalie-battering late effort from Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave them the points (won 2-1). We will never know what Rickie might have done,in the England match, but it would have been fun seeing what he would have done with some of the chances we had and failed to convert.

Wes Tender Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 England were absolutely dire. After a while I just got bored rigid at all the backwards and sidewards passing and the number of times we gave the ball away needlessly. Had we been playing a much better team than San Marino, we would have been on the receiving end of a defeat, playing so poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 RL may well have had a shot at the goal wheras our forwards seemed to want to pass rather than have a pop at goal. I thought we looked a lot more energetic when Shelvey came on and impressed me as i have never rated him before. he changed the tempo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangermouth Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 He would definitely have scored and that I'm sure. But he would find it hard fitting in with those world beating players, Cleverly, Caroll and Shelvey, to name just a few and that master class passer Carrick. But to be fair, it is always hard playing against a pub team, they do defend deep. Except, of course, smarter teams do things to stretch the play so you don't end up trying to play in 3 cms of space. I think he'd have done ok if he'd have found a little bit of space. Thought Shelvey didn't do anything special, Carrick is a crab, Cleverley doesn't know where to run or how (applies to pretty much all of them, however), and Carroll on the one occasion he got the ball to feet showed he isn't very comfortable at all with that and then doesn't know where to go. Mind you, it was only once and you'd have to see him over several games to know if he's a carthorse with lead wellies on the deck or can play a good holding role.

sotonian Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 As an England fan, please let's not bring in 30 year olds for their first caps, we are two years away from a tournament, we should and did play youngsters we won 5-0, job done As a saints fan I'm sure rickie would of bagged a couple, but really what would that of achieved long term for england?

LostBoys Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 The idiot Andy Townsend who played for us made bambi on ice Welbeck man of the match but although he scored he screwed up/missed 10 other opportunities that Lambert would have done better with. Dreadful what with Cleverley's hopeless misses against the Ukraine. The future maybe - the present not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 Welbeck MOM....... Hahaha Haha Not seen a centre forward so reluctant to head the ball. At least twice in the game if he had headed instead of trying to go with his feet, he'd have scored. That's 2 Rickie would've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwantsapint Posted 14 October, 2012 Share Posted 14 October, 2012 Only way rickie could have played is if he had lallana to feed him the ball or if he had oxo as his room mate & gave him instructions to cross it early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 14 October, 2012 Share Posted 14 October, 2012 would he have actually scored though? Just because he's a striker, doesn't mean he's guaranteed to score goals against poor teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
