Darren Bent now injured, although seriousness not yet known.

 

Could Fat Kev or the Muffin Man still get a callup??

DMG is sitting by his phone.

No, DMG got it back from him.

Davies would be ideal as a ready-made replacement for Heskey, IMO. He's also rediscovered the ability to score a few goals as well.

Sounds like Crouch and Rio in for Upson and Heskey.

Another 4-0, then.

Didn't think it was possible to complain about winning a game well.

[Arizona]

Out of interest, anyone got any info on how well Milevskiy, Aliyev and Mykhalik are playing for Ukraine?

Can't get the game on fookin STV.

[Ponty]

The entire Ukrainian team are pretty anonymous.

[Ponty]

Good result IMO.

What are you talking about? How was I complaining?

[Smirking_Saint]

Mykhalik looked ok, martialed quite well even though rooney was marauding all over the place, Aliyev played the ball well but looks a bit lightweight. Milevskiy looked pretty good, shadowing into certain areas, better in first half, held up well, sprayed the ball around but ultimately he didn't show any positive directional running with the ball.

 

On a seperate note, anyone else notice rooney was blowing out of his *ss at the end ?? Also, i wouldn't have taken Lennon off, pace gives you options and outlets. And although did not see much of him tonight, anyone else agree SWP always seems wasteful in an england shirt ??

SWP has done anything for anyone for about 3 years now.

It wasn't the best match but a win is a win - just wish we had someone to replce Ashley Cole with - he is shocking

[Smirking_Saint]

I thought he looked a bit useless, bridgey has looked better to be fair, or leighton baines. (but they may be injured) Also, i know it is turning into a cliche but at the moment gerrard does not look the same in an england shirt, it's a shame.

Gerrard is playing on the left for England and just behind Torres for Liverpool, he's bound to look different.

As for LB, i've not rated Cole at all to be honest. Much rather have Bridge, Baines or even Lescott there.

I agree on the LB issue, it also does not help that i think cole is a complete c**t of the highest order but there you go.

 

Also i am aware of the gerrard thing but even a while back when rafa played him all over he still seemed off the leash, which is where you get the best out of him, unfortunately i believe he is very similar a player too rooney and so very hard to accomodate.

[bridge too far]

I've ALWAYS thought Bridge to be a better option than Cole.

 

I had hoped that he'd get more of a look in what with consistent first team appearances for Man City.

[keithd]

never seen cole play a good game for anybody, chelsea arsenal or england.

 

i hate the gimp.
