World Cup 2018 | 24th June | England vs Panama Match Thread, KO 13:00 (BST)

100%

Much protection of Sterling,and the subsequent media criticism,is warranted,but many actively go looking for a reason to be outraged.

And that is just sad,and weakens your previous stance.
I wouldn`t mind if Shearer had said it with any malice.He was genuinely supporting him and as you say people just look for negatives when none are there.
 
If it's just one mention then fair enough. But it seems like every comment, especially by Shearer, has to mention his lack of goals. It's tedious and I am entitled to comment on it. Bear in mind, he was doing an immediate post-match summary of a fantastic ALL ROUND performance by England. In the right context, it's a fair criticism of Raheem in an England shirt, but to home in on one player only and to draw attention to him is, as I say, tedious.
It wasn’t criticism

Was it fook.Just look on here as to how many other Blue Mooners are claiming people like you have read and heard it in the wrong context.

It’s utterly bizarre what people will pluck out of thin air to get outraged about in this forum, it’s such a shame. When you see threads like the Collier Site thread where the media paranoia doesn’t seem to infiltrate, this place is brilliant. Outside of that the paranoia and thin-skins of our posters is ridiculous

I prefer to call them fore skins PC. ;)
 
So? Just think it's utterly pathetic after the team have won 6-1 to single out one player who actually contributed 2 assists.
Not being voted for by a load of United fans is not being singled out
 
Don't think Kane, Sterling or Vardy really got the ball in open play in either game tbh, the service through the middle is non-existent. Weird to say as we scored 6, but in open play we weren't very good, the formation doesn't really work. We just pass it sideways between the back 6 and our only outlet is long balls in behind for Lingard to chase, the other 3 attacking players become almost pointless
Agree with all of that.

I am glad we won today, and comprehensively, but it papers over the cracks a bit, which may not be what we need going into the knockout stage. Hopefully Southgate and his coaching team saw the same things and works to correct them, though.
 
Watched the match with 5live commentary, every 5 minutes or so they would mention Rashford playing in the next game at the expense of Sterling, there literally is no reason to change or any sensible argument to support such a change, whether that is in changing a winning team for England or the season just gone but on they go, it is mindless incessant drivel because of who he plays for, pathetic wankers.
