England have defended poorly last couple of games. Comes from having substandard players at the back really. I mean, who actually rates Smalling?

Lambert on for Sturridge please Mr Hodgson

 

That's the plan according to Roy. Not sure when he will make the change but he was quoted as saying Sturridge won't play 90 mins because he wants to have another look at Lambo.

What sort of free kick was that from walker

 

Yes, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, or I imagined it, but no it was really was that sh!t.

 

 

Am I alone in thinking Sven Bender is a funny name?

 

Is Lars Bender the other one ?

Rooney and Sturridge absolute dross up front. Both gave the ball away almost every time they had it. Adam not getting many decent passes but looks our best player when on the ball.

England looked pretty decent for the first 30 minutes - a much improved performance from Friday at least - but still not really created much. Simply poor defending from those two corners leading up to Germany's goal. Smalling really isn't that good I'm afraid.

 

Lallana not really had much of a chance to get into the game so far but done nothing wrong. Had one good run to the byline and cut back but no England players attacking it.

Are England **** or what? Sturridge and Townsend think they're Morrison and Zaha. Walker's playing ACROSS the pitch, Rooney's acting as if he's the only player on the the team and Cleverley not only looks like the stupid Marine in "A Few Good Men", but is playing like him. Total lack of ideas.

 

Adam does need to assert himself more and go get the ball, because no-one's going to pass it to him. Get Lambert on for Sturridge and go to 4-2-3-1 with Rooney in the hole.

Lallana has been twice as good as Townsend. Every time Townsend ets ithe accelerates and loses it, Lallana gets it and finds a man in space with a chance to score. Also putting himself about off the ball too. Adam>Townsend

Rooney, Sturridge, Townsend and Walker seem to excel at running themselves into a blind alley in pursuit of personal glory.

 

Walker also looks a liability in defence.

If Hodgeson misses this opportunity to see Lallana and Ricky play together for England then he doesn't have what it takes to do anything in Brazil.

The problem you've got it most of the divs that inhabit twitter and mongboards don't appreciate good touch, technique and pass and movement. They like a pacy wideman, getting it fooooooooooooorward, players that can run with it regardless of what they actually do with the ball, headless chickens that are class because they're fast.

Great bit of skill from Adam for a cross. Shortly after he was in a great position for a floated/deflected cross across the goal mouth.

 

We are all watching it too Colin

Considering that someone on here earlier asked for a stream, not everyone is.

 

I assume you will sneer in the same way at those detailing substitutions?

 

Besides, wanted to balance out the 'Adam is having a quiet one' sentiment from earlier by praising some of the good.

Is following a game on a mongboard the new following a game on teletext?

You are very welcome Jean-Luc.

 

I'm at work, so using this and the BBC live updates thing as my updates for the match too. Carry on mate!

So Hodgson says he wants to have a look at Lambert tonight, and it looks like he's going to give him a maximum of half an hour to prove himself.

 

I would imagine it'll be Lambert on for Lallana soon?

Townsend just struck the post from 30 yards!!! He's a blunt weapon that boy.

 

England shading it at the moment but not looking too imaginative.
