Slovakia v England match thread

England are in the shit again by the looks of it. Sam's attitude should be he plays where I say or he can fuck off. Rooney is not anywhere near good enough anymore to be dictating to either club or country

I guess some get lucky. Margetson was a shocker - I remember him being played in the last game of the season at Goodison and he was so bad we had to take him off at half time. There must be a 1,000 or more role ahead of him for that job. What a joke.

It was a home game not away. He only played one game at international level and just over 150 league games in his entire career, hardly qualified to make him England's goalie coach is it.

There isn't but surely you have to have some idea of how to play the game at a decent level and what is required. MM was one of if npot the worst keepers I have seen at City and I include the likes of Bobby Mimms, Barry Siddall and Simon Tracey in that list

Some talent there!...There's plenty of experts on here, when it comes to tactics and teams who have possibly never laced a boot up.
How far did the likes of Ferguson /Mouriniho etc get as players?....not great examples i'll grant you.

Pains me to say it but the GPC played over 300 games albeit in Scotland and played half a dozen games for Scotland. Granted PEG's playing career wasn't exactly illustrious although he was assistant manager under the likes of Sir Bobby Robson etc for siz years before making the move into management. MM could barely catch a ball yet here he is coaching the likes of Joe Hart, Butland etc. Is that the best we can do?

Ha...given the current manager, I would suggest that yes, that is the dream team. I'm curious under Hodgson ( international playing exp?) who was goalkeeping coach?...surely not still Clemence was it!
