England v Italy

[Ray78]

Italy are on cruise control. They are saving energy and letting us beat ourselves.

Yup Technically and Tactically superior.

 

[Gelsons Dad]

Sterling is wasted on the wing.

 

[cookster]

Rooney is starting to resemble Alan Brazil.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

England are so unfit, this is lifestyle as much as anything imo.

 

[TCIB]

You're all misdirecting your anger though, it's Gerrard who should be nowhere near the pitch. He can't handle these conditions at all. There was a period then when he was literally standing there, still, hands on knees, whilst the ball was in play. Shocking.

For someone in his position you need much much more. It is vital you have vision and movement or at least industry.
He has shown non of those qualities bar 1 long cross.

Rooney is starting to resemble Alan Brazil.

This warm weather training isn't helping either

 

[Balti]

come on white pele

 

[RandomJ]

Rooney to blaze this over.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

well that last move said it all - sterling receives the ball on the right wing and not one fucker make a run to help him or create a pass - and that my fellow blues is the whole issue with our home grown players


said it for a long time now that we are probably the only nation to have no actual players playing outside their own league

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

We've got a manager that is scared to drop a player... seriously, we were fucked before this game even began.
