Group D Discussion - Ukraine, Sweden, France, England

[Agent TBY]

Milner switches wings and takes his marker with him. Acres and acres of space on the right side, lots of players in the box, no one to pass to - and yet there's no overlap from Johnson.

Why is this guy picked as an attacking full-back, again?

 

[Agent TBY]

Wow he actually scored.

 

[Meridio]

Where the **** did that come from?!

 

[Scaly piscine]

And now we back off and give it away relentlessly.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Joe Hart going route one virtually every time now and England almost never win it, he was passing to the back line against France.

 

[Scaly piscine]

That's feeble from Young. He's been poor in these one and a half games so far.

 

[Scaly piscine]

****ing useless shower of ****wits.

 

[Agent TBY]

Awful, awful defending.

 

[wpdavid]

Absolutely dire, but completely on the cards since the middle of the first half, despite what the 'experts' on the Beeb were saying at half time. Young, Welbeck and Cole have given it away virtually every time they've had the ball, Gerrard and Parker are offering their back four absolutely nothing in terms of taking the ball off them ..

... and sure enough now it's two. Wankers. Complete wankers.

It comes to something when Johnson, Carroll and Terry are your best performers. Hodgson will get slaughtered for this, but you can't blame him when so-called professionals can't actually play the game.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Not a bad goal that.

Not sure what the keeper as doing though haha.

 

[wpdavid]

Lucky - their keeper was completely unsighted. Maybe it will turn the game though.

 

[wpdavid]

Joe Hart going route one virtually every time now and England almost never win it, he was passing to the back line against France.

Yeh, I noticed that too. wtf is he thinking? It's almost as if they go on auto-pilot because there's a big centre forward.

 

[Ikki]

What a ****ing goal.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Wow, what a great finish.

 

[wpdavid]

What a ****ing goal.

Beat me to it. It was quite brilliant.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Watching England is so stressful.

 

[Scaly piscine]

That's feeble from Young. He's been poor in these one and a half games so far.

And his effort in the second half has made those performances look like Messi against a pub side.

Anyway. Ugh.

 

[Ikki]

Deserved win, really. Sweden offered nothing but got their goals by some lax defending.

 

[wpdavid]

Got away with it really.

But I'd have gladly settled for this position with Rooney to return next time out.

 

[wpdavid]

And his (Young's) effort in the second half has made those performances look like Messi against a pub side.

Was he actually on the pitch? I'd happily see the reborn Walcott or Ox in his place against Ukraine.
