October 8, 20168 yr Good first half, took some time to score though, I just hope Gareth Southgate takes the job full time, he seems to have clicked with the team.
October 8, 20168 yr Author Well that second half was undoubtedly the worst experience of my entire life. How the hell can we go from playing really quite well to that dirge? Almost as if they refused to do anything even remotely risky. Rashford was isolated, he needs to be free to roam like his debut, god knows why he wasn't starting as well.
October 8, 20168 yr Good game, at least they got the points that was needed, but I was expecting more goals in the second half to lift the mood a bit. And poor Joe Hart hardly touched the ball throughout that game :lol:
October 8, 20168 yr A decent performance in the first half, but after half-time I thought we were back in the Allardyce era.
October 9, 20168 yr The first half performance was encouraging. The second half made me think Allardyce was back in charge. There seems to have been an assumption that England will qualify on points alone and that goal difference will not be relevant. Of course, with Scotland only drawing against Lithuania, the fact that they put five past Malta looks less relevant.
October 11, 20168 yr Rooney has been dropped and put on the bench for tonight's match against Slovenia. Good riddance I say.
October 11, 20168 yr Author Hart's coming off? He's been playing brilliantly - some fantastic saves, I just wish the rest of the team were playing as well as that :lol: A lot of room for improvement, some poor, sloppy play especially in the defensive regions - but some very nice attacking work albeit. Need to get the ball down the wings, though, poor Lingard and Rose are begging for it on the right. We look in control, though, which is good to see. Just need to keep our heads up and look for a goal.
October 11, 20168 yr Author This is awful. Joe Hart is the sole reason we're still in this game and frankly, our defence is an absolute shambles. Rooney is coming on, we need Rashford also, we need some creativity, Slovenia are starting to get a hold on this game.
October 11, 20168 yr This is awful. Joe Hart is the sole reason we're still in this game and frankly, our defence is an absolute shambles. Rooney is coming on, we need Rashford also, we need some creativity, Slovenia are starting to get a hold on this game. The whole team are playing awful, Hart aside. Hate to say it, but I reckon the pitch is a massive problem. Looks to be a lot slower than players are used to, hence all the backpasses.
October 11, 20168 yr On paper we have so many game changers. It's still a mystery as to why we struggle to score at all.
October 11, 20168 yr No creativity in the full 90 mins, I wish I watched Westworld instead. Full credit to Joe Hart though. Looks like Gareth is rather pissed off, he admitted it was a mess :lol:
October 11, 20168 yr Author A front four of Rashford, Townsend, Lingard and Vardy would be nice for the next game.
October 11, 20168 yr Some real defensive howlers tonight. Thanks goodness Hart benefited from his rest on Saturday.
October 11, 20168 yr Without Hart, it would have been 4-0 to Slovenia. Awful abject again. Play Rashford and start him. What was that spat about with Lingaard in the last few minutes that was most entertaining moment in the last few minutes. Scotland losing to Slovakia. Not good.
October 11, 20168 yr I didn't even watch the match, I really can't be arsed with international football apart from when the major tournaments take place. Real football will be back on the weekend!
October 12, 20168 yr How do people see our game with Scotland going next month? It'll be interesting to see. England look as bad as they did in our Euro 2008 campaign. We should have lost last night as Slovenia were the better team. Bar a couple of wonder saves from Hart.
October 12, 20168 yr Indeed they rode their luck - so have Ireland tho and they got 6 points so I'm happy - huge game vs Austria now in November

November 11, 20168 yr Shocking to see Argentina's current plight, real possibility they won't make Russia as it stands. Too reliant on Messi. Good to see Brazil looking somewhat like their former selves though. Big match tonight at Wembley, England should win though. That US Mexico game looks tasty too, particularly given recent events.
