pingwing Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 God I hate andy townsend, one of the main reasons I don't watch int football....
doubleonothing Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Lambert would have scored that.... Was just about to post this.
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 I actually rate Welbeck, but I had hoped Sir Rickie would get the nod. Maybe an England wim will cheer me up. I hope the Lambert call up doesn't end up being like the Kev Davis call up. As expected Welbeck gets the shift out wide to hussle and bussle, Lamberts chance will be when Rooney comes off. I hope ge gets on, would be cruel to call him up and not cap him
hutch Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Didn't Rickie take less than 3 minutes to score when he came on as a sub in his first ever PL game?
Saint Garrett Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Awful keeping. Being Rickie on we need goals now!
Chez Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 looking at the early exchanges I have to ask, why is England giving Rooney match fitness. If you aint fit you shouldn't be selected
trousers Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Welbeck stands back and lets him have a shot...
Chez Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 massive lack of effort to close him down quickly, Walcott especially. Didn't see Welbeck put his body on the line either.
Colinjb Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Rickie to save it..... he'll be a national hero....
Chez Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Hart starts the season off where he finished it...making massive mistakes.
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Welbeck stands back and lets him have a shot... I was waiting for someone to blame the whipping boy, ignoring Walcott who just ran away for some reason. Tbf I wouldhave expected atleast one of Welbeck, Gerrard, Jagielka or even Hart to stop that Ho hum, if we lose hopefully Hodgson will sail off into the sunset
pap Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Lions? Pussycats, more like. Pussycats that have learned how to hoof.
St Marco Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 And right there is what's wrong with the National team. Look at the desire of the Scotland players and look at ours. Same old players, same old performances. If we get beat or draw expect the same old bull**** about how the PL is to blame, how there need to be a break (even though they just had a 3 month one....) etc etc.
Foxy Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Gerrard a liability. How many 60 yard Hollywood balls to no one in particular can one man play??

I know home crowds aren't as loud at club games but FFS, need a better showing than that.
rshephard3 Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Welbeck stands back and lets him have a shot... Absolutely. As much at fault as Hart. Was a woeful effort defensively from the non scoring centre forward (albeit playing out wide tonight)

Tbf I wouldhave expected atleast one of Welbeck, Gerrard, Jagielka or even Hart to stop that total lack of desire from Welbeck and Walcott if you ask me.
hutch Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Great atmosphere. No drums or brass bands, just loads of fans cheering & singing. Proper football, both teams up for it
Chez Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Gerrard a liability. How many 60 yard Hollywood balls to no one in particular can one man play?? he should be banned from playing passes over 15 yards. Top quality player until he tries to play longer passes.
Saint Billy Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Rooney having his usual performance for England so far.
trousers Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Great atmosphere. No drums or brass bands, just loads of fans cheering & singing. Proper football, both teams up for it I've just heard a drum and a trumpet....
Chez Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Walcott again shows no desire, then follows it up by losing it. Buck up lad you're better than that.
Foxy Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 he should be banned from playing passes over 15 yards. Top quality player until he tries to play longer passes. Problem is the flamboyant long ball is his default option.
Saint Benali Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Welbeck, Walcott and Cleverly having nightmare of a game.
trousers Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Trip over the ball Cleverley FFS (I'm starting to sound like Alpine, I know.... )
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Gerrard a liability. How many 60 yard Hollywood balls to no one in particular can one man play?? Depends on how long the complete lack of any movement going forward lingers I imagine. Our best player so far, though admitidly thats mainly from a defensive POV
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Surely 1 goal Welbeck will save us? Or maybe 15 goal Lambo would be a better bet. What d'ya reckon Roy???
Chez Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Cleverly. I wondered who that player wondering around having no impact on the game was. Boy do we have a lack of quality throughout. I don't rate either CB. The keeper makes mistakes. No left side as usual, no strikers and a central midfielder that is out of his depth.
Turkish Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Cleverly. I wondered who that player wondering around having no impact on the game was. Boy do we have a lack of quality throughout. I don't rate either CB. The keeper makes mistakes. No left side as usual, no strikers and a central midfielder that is out of his depth. There are 10 others too.
Colinjb Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 That'll do. Much better in the last few minutes. Pleased for Theo.
Chez Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 that's what I'm talking about. Cleverly. No impact on the game. I'll shut up now.
saintmonkey1979 Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Welbeck, Walcott and Cleverly having nightmare of a game. Most of the England team are to be fair. Wrong selection and wrong system. Most of them are in there on reputation rather than deserving it. This is what is wrong with our national team. It is sad to see. Rio was spot on with what he said on the subject
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 total lack of desire from Welbeck and Walcott if you ask me. None of them really look up for it except for Wilshere and Gerrard. Nobody keeping the ball well, everyone losing the ball by misplacing 10 yard passes except for Gerrard who you are right to point out keeps trying hollywoods. A lot is down to desire and as I said before a lack of movement. Rooneys lack of gametime cant help
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Surely 1 goal Welbeck will save us? Or maybe 15 goal Lambo would be a better bet. What d'ya reckon Roy??? I reckon Woy knows better than playing lambert out wide ?!? What do you reckon ?

trousers Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 @SouthamptonFC: Over in Belfast, Steven Davis's Northern Ireland take the lead against Russia in their #Brazil2014 qualifier. #saintsfc
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Is he playing? He is trying, you can see his quality, but can also see he really isnt sharp. Looks physically as fit as Ive ever seen him though TBH
St.Patrik Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 Anders Svensson just scored a screamer to make 4-2 Sweden. A shot in top corner from outside the penalty area. Ibrahimovic has scored the other 3
Colinjb Posted 14 August, 2013 Posted 14 August, 2013 He is trying, you can see his quality, but can also see he really isnt sharp. Looks physically as fit as Ive ever seen him though TBH Actually did well in the build up just there. Like the rest of the side he's growing into the game now the Scot's initial momentum has waned.
