England - The Road to 2012 (now featuring Wayne Rooney) but not his touch

[Bootador]

Boring, switching over to Eurovision.

[cms186]

it will be interesting to see where rooney would fit into this formation, could play either of the front 2 roles well

[Heartwork]

Not the most exciting game but still not a bad performance so far. Barely seem to have put a foot wrong. Could've scored one or two more goals.

tells you something when any halftime analysis in here is less interesting than commenting on the ad's

As usual england fans expect us to be full out attacking kevin keegan style scoring 3 every half or they turn over.

How on this Earth has Gareth Barry got 53 caps?

[Worcester City Researcher]

How on this Earth has Gareth Barry got 53 caps?

The national team manager wrote his name down on the team sheet for 53 different games? :confused:

[Frankchickens1]

and an armband

[SeanNUFC]

Keeper leaves a big open space and Baines hits it where the keeper is, clever.

[cms186]

How on this Earth has Gareth Barry got 53 caps?

because hes a decent player?

[mcsheffreygreat]

How on this Earth has Gareth Barry got 53 caps?

Because he's obviously a good player?

[thomit]

Only 3 of the norwegians plays in the premier league .. the percentage used to be higher, didn't it?

[SeanNUFC]

Because he's obviously a good player?

Decent? Yes. Good? Nah.

[Frankchickens1]

you counting mortern gamst pedersen?

[Heartwork]

Hangeland, Riise, Pedersen, Parr, Huseklepp?

[SCIAG]

Because he was the best fit English defensive midfielder in the country for years.

He should have had more really, but we did insist on a Gerrard- Lampard midfield two despite Lampard-Hargreaves/Barry/Carrick looking much better whenever it was tried.

Huskelepp?

Not in the Premier League? Or have I missed a transfer?

[cms186]

Hangeland, Riise, Pedersen, Parr, Huseklepp?

2 of those dont play in the premier league

[Heartwork]

That'll teach me for not reading posts properly... was only thinking of players in England.

[thomit]

Hangeland, Riise - and yes, counting Pedersen. Doubt he will be playing in the Championship. Parr and Huseklepp not in the PL, to my knowledge.

[Worcester City Researcher]

Hangeland, Riise, Pedersen, Parr, Huseklepp?

Palarse not in the Premier League (thank god)

[Chase Failey]

morten gamst pedersen described as having an 'educated' left foot

thought thet were always 'cultured'?

[mcsheffreygreat]

Decent? Yes. Good? Nah.

He's a starter for the best team in arguably the best league in the world but he isn't 'good'?

[Heartwork]

Riise trying to be Clint Dempsey.

[Standard liege!]

Not in the Premier League? Or have I missed a transfer?

No, still with us.

2 of those dont play in the premier league

Soon be 3 that don't. Perdersen - BR.

[Frankchickens1]

MGP said he has no intention of leaving

Parker being baked a massive captain custard pie

[SeanNUFC]

He's a starter for the best team in arguably the best league in the world but he isn't 'good'?

Yes, that's right.

[SeanNUFC]

Well we've done sh*t this half. No possession.

[mcsheffreygreat]

Would have Barry starting ahead of anyone else in the squad in midfield right now.

[SeanNUFC]

For some reason seem to be playing really defensive even though its only 1-0.

[ddidiodion]

He's a starter for the best team in arguably the best league in the world but he isn't 'good'?

No he isn't.

[SeanNUFC]

Really defensive? Sorry i meant really ****.

[Klimowicz]

Megged by Riise :o

[Heartwork]

Is it just me or is Rob Green's hair almost a mix of early 2000's David Beckham and Doctor Who era Dave Tennant?

[mcsheffreygreat]

No he isn't.

Started 31 league games. Yes he is.

[H.O.V.I]

England cant get hold of the ball

[SeanNUFC]

What on earth did Woy say at half time? Don't pass to another england player?

[Worcester City Researcher]

Started 31 league games. Yes he is.

Agree. People need to stop being so parochial and start showing respect for their National Champions

[Marc Albrighton]

Still failing to see a logical explanation as to why downing is anywhere near the squad let alone first 11, hope to see a better 11 at the next friendly this has been horrible.

[davehanson]

Well played Barry. Awful player.

[Tom2k8]

Well, the Great Gareth Barry almost cost us a goal

[SeanNUFC]

1st half was good though, such a strange turn around, just no possession at all.

[SeanNUFC]

Well, the Great Gareth Barry almost cost us a goal

D'oh......

Dont say 'their', dont have to be english to be on this thread

[Heartwork]

Twas a nice challenge from Jags.

[H.O.V.I]

Ashley young needs to get closer to milner and barry, practically laying alongside Carrol atm.

[ddidiodion]

Started 31 league games. Yes he is.

No, the Premier League isn't arguably the best league in the world in any way shape or form.

[davehanson]

Dont say 'their', dont have to be english to be on this thread

Don't be an idiot. It's an England national team discussion thread. Don't make something where there is nothing.

[mcsheffreygreat]

No, the Premier League isn't arguably the best league in the world in any way shape or form.

It is arguably the best league in the world because I can argue it.

[SeanNUFC]

This is pathetic. I expect some attacks at the very least. Or just some possession.
