av3ry Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Good thing Slovenia cored as it woke us up I think it would have been a horrible 0-0 if it wasnt for their goal. Great header by Henderson btw Danny Welbeck is the man, I love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aderow Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Easy, Both. Drop Rooney. Gotta get Berahino in there too 10 in 16 in all competitions this season for Danny. Don't remind me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluedave Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Comfortable in the end, but made it a bit too much hard work in the first half. Seems to be a theme. Welbeck is king. He's been great since day one of his England career. 2nd goal was lovely football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Was a predictably slow first half in which we had almost total control. You felt a goal would come and then when we conceeded I was impressed with the way we woke up rather than rumbled along in the same manner. We didn't start playing with purpose until 1-0 down. Slovenia weren't very good, unfortunately this qualifying campaign will likely be more of this I hope Scotland don't play with any kind of pace on Tuesday as not sure we're ready for an actual competitive game I notice some senior players will be released back to clubs, yeah, only a friendly against Scotland after all ... of no historical importance or good for fans or anything ... Might as well start Berahino then, Forster in goal, I hope rather than Foster as Hart is back at City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icondacarver Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Danny Welbeck is the man, I love him. What he said. Don't remind me It is now 11 in 16 actually, wrote that before the 2nd goal. Welbeck is king. He's been great since day one of his England career. 2nd goal was lovely football. Stat that sums Welbeck up is he has 13 goals in 31 games for England but more importantly is of that number he got 10 in 12 starts as a striker. #Wasted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hodgson playing it cool regarding team selection for tonight Again, pointless game for us, nothing to gain from it We know no Joe Hart so I hope Forster plays. Shaw expected to start at left back. I hope Clyne gets another game too. It wouldn't surprise me to see Smalling start in one of the centre back spots either I assume Rooney will start as captain, maybe Berahino at some point? May as well, he's in good form. I think we'll maybe see Milner start. Ox too? Downing will no doubt feature at some point I know it's a premier league round this weekend but hopefully the players play like it's a proper game and don't just meander through. I expect the Jocks will be up for it although not sure they super care like they would a few years back. Obviously chance to get one over. They're on a nice little upward curve, playing ok, feeling good. We have won all our games but hardly impressive (Swiss game aside) but hopefully we'll turn up and not have minds on the weekend ahead after 'job done' against Slovenia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearcey_90 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Best thing that could happen is Scotland to comfortably turn us over and be first to every ball and that one yard quicker. We've crawled so far since the WC and have shown no improvements what so ever, and Roy needs a reality check otherwise it's a last 16 exit at the Euros which giving the new format is basically like going out in the groups.

skybluedave Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 We haven't crawled at all. The opposition have been poor and the one decent side we faced we put in a solid experienced away performance and won 2-0. Estonia was sloppy and San Marino was San Marino. I'm not sure what people expect. We aren't that good, so a few dodgy games are expected. But we've got the right results and performed when it mattered. A lot better sides then us have had worse results. I'm not watching tonight coz I'm out. Kinda happy with that. Just no interest in this match. Sure the atmosphere will be great and the players be up for it but I'm with Razzler it really is lose lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milnerpoint Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Based on what? Gut instinct, and Ben Foster talking about how we will try and kick you off the park, even tho our team is made up of 5ft players now a days, who are not interested at all in hacking people, well, Hanley excluded from that statement.
