Good to know our lack of forwards isn't beeing exposed and we will have plenty fit for the big game on Weds.
At least he may never play for England again. With luck he'll be out for a while and we might have cloned Villa/Torres with a English mother by then... If not, I've heard Kevin Davies can't wait to play for England.
Its embarrasing how english players can play so well for their clubs yet drop their arse when playing for england in the big games, its always been the same.
we should be more ahead but we havent been great. As big a Lampard fan i am him and Barry have been shit. Should have brought Downing on for Cole when he got injured and put Gerrard behind Rooney or Beckham and Lennon on the left. I'd bring Carrick on as well for Barry or Lampard at the moment. There's only Rooney and Gerrard doing anything going forward wise apart from when Glen Johnson is getting forward. We lack width on the left....again.
i cant justify Gerrard playing down the left at all, his form of late playing straight down the middle has been immense - i mean for fucks sake if the geatest player of the last decade (Zidane) says hes the best in the business, you play the cunt where hes meant to be played . how many England managers are going to insist on playing the 11 biggest names as opposed to the best TEAM in the best current form. Villa have been poor of late and Barry hasnt been great yet he keeps his place as Carrick sits on the bench. Lampard hasnt done much worng at Chelsea but hasnt been close to the form Gerrard has been in - yet Gerrard is forced out onto the left to let Lampard play down the middle
I go to the match these days to get mullered, any sort of venture into the oppositions half is a bonus. Just doesn't make sense why these players can't perform for england, you would have thought they would put their best games in representing their country, i know i fucking would like!
An english Teesidee/Yorkshireman who supports Barnsley and his only hope of Silverwear is England winning something?
