igsey Posted 14 November, 2013 Share Posted 14 November, 2013 Luke Shaw and James Ward-Prowse both started, England 1-0 in the 30th minute after a 21st minute goal from Michael Keane - JWP with the assist! JWP is also on set-piece duty, as you'd expect - he looks impressive tonight. Live on BT Sport 1 if anyone's interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igsey Posted 14 November, 2013 Author Share Posted 14 November, 2013 2-0 - Luke Shaw has a great shot after a run into the left of the box, saved by the keeper, Berahino taps it in. It's going well for the boys from the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 14 November, 2013 Share Posted 14 November, 2013 Raheem Sterling is hilariously ****. There might be a half-decent player in there somewhere if he had half a brain cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 14 November, 2013 Share Posted 14 November, 2013 Raheem Sterling is hilariously ****. There might be a half-decent player in there somewhere if he had half a brain cell. I think he was hyped up way before his time. Players at the top level don't get a proper chance to develop - as soon as they show any talent the media pounces upon them. Look at Lallana and Morgan - both young and gifted players that were allowed to develop under the spotlight in the lower leagues while honing their craft. Now we see 17-19 year olds like JWP and Shaw who are thrust straight into the spotlight of the Premier League. I sometimes think that some of the younger players believe their own hype too. Zaha would have been wise to stick with Palace for another season IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 14 November, 2013 Share Posted 14 November, 2013 Seeing a number of our guys lugging around egos far beyond their skill levels makes me realize what a great job Saints are doing - not just developing top young players but also keeping them team-focused and well-grounded.

Kingsland Red Posted 15 November, 2013 Share Posted 15 November, 2013 I watched the game last night, and at the risk of being smug, I'd rather watch Saints who appear to have overtaken the international teams for quality of football. As picked up earlier on this thread, Zaha and Sterling seem incapable of team play, going on runs up blind alleys and losing possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted 15 November, 2013 Share Posted 15 November, 2013 I watched the game last night, and at the risk of being smug, I'd rather watch Saints who appear to have overtaken the international teams for quality of football. As picked up earlier on this thread, Zaha and Sterling seem incapable of team play, going on runs up blind alleys and losing possession. Exactly. Zaha and Sterling must surely have been given a dressing down after that match. Zaha trying tricks in exposed positions and losing possession to dangerous counterattack and neither of them understanding the term "quick release of the ball"....reminded me of playground football in which there's always one that just plays for himself and wont pass....they will never make the grade with that attitude- compare and contrast to our two who were team players yet clearly technically excellent - its not either or. Watching Sterling decline an obvious pass to LS when in the corner was particularly galling...but then i thought - the two worst culprits are coached and playing at two of the biggest teams in the country - and yet they still play like that....says to me that they are not getting coached proper... The German first team coach Joachim Low was interviewed recently and when asked what was one of the main improvements in the National side over the last ten years he said it was the reduction in the average time a player spent on the ball....it was too long on the ball before- now in some games German players only are on the ball for 0.9 of a second - its all quick release first touch and make space to receive with excellent movement - not watching Johnny show-off trying to dribble past 5 players and score plus countless horizontal or backward passes...At least Saints are using that approach.....and Team England could do worse than just copy - starting with not selecting players who cannot do it and picking those who can!

View From The Top Posted 15 November, 2013 Share Posted 15 November, 2013 I'm going to Shrewsbury on Tuesday to watch them. JWP & Shaw were head & shoulders above anyone else on the pitch lastnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted 15 November, 2013 Share Posted 15 November, 2013 Luke Shaw's first touch described as 'Iniesta-like' by whoever the commentator is... high praise. The co-commentator was Owen Hargeaves, so think it was him saying that if I remember correctly, rather than the other (dunno) guy. He spoke a lot of sense and was very complimentary about our boys - no surprise, they were both awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 15 November, 2013 Share Posted 15 November, 2013 Well judging by those highlights, if he's not taking the corners, he should be on the near post for flick-ons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right, good post. I did notice that when Hughes and Lindgard came on they seemed very reluctant to pass to Zaha, even when he was clearly open, almost as if they knew he'd **** it up.
