*Official* English Football Season 2006-07

[roseboy64]

Don't see how Gerrard is suddenly a revelation on the right side. against Greece he was playing more in the centre than anything else. Cole cuts in but you can actually see that he's playing in the left flank.

Set up 3 goals in his one and only start for England.

Against one of the worst sides in living memory.

 

[marc71178]

well he is, he is naturally left-footed.

Yes, but Joe Cole is naturally good and has shown it against allcomers, rather than looking poor everytime except when he faces weak players.

 

[marc71178]

Yea lets go the vegetable route and play players out of position, play well below the sum of the parts, fail to even threaten to win something with the best squad of players England have ever had and generally play atrocious lacklustre football.

Funny how on Wednesday McLaren played players out of position, had the team playing well below the sum of its parts, only won because the Greek defence was useless and played atrocious lacklustre football with what must in your opinion be even better than the squad Sven had (since it didn't include Beckham)

Yet not once have you criticised him - funny that isn't it?

 

[marc71178]

He's a winger and he was only playing as sub, so when he comes on with 20 minutes to go or whatever he's barely going to do anything before the game is over.

Isn't Lennon a winger who also only came on as sub?

Can hardly say he "barely did anything"...

 

[Craig]

Chelsea will rap up the signing of SV Hamburg's Khalid Boulahrouz, after a fee was agreed and Ashley Cole has been dumped from the team for the opening game against Aston Villa.

 

[Simon]

Boulahrouz is rubbish, why do chelsea want him?

 

[Craig]

Presumably because he can play centre and left back but they are not going to give up on Cole. Although their assistant manager Steve Clarke said he wasn't sure if he is right footed or left footed.

Apart from Gerrard being too stupid to stay on the right side it looked fairly balanced in the first half - didn't watch the second half because I knew it'd be dire and it was.

Then how did you know it was dire?

Indeed.

 

[Matteh]

Mansfield get another draw against Grimsby - 4 Games unbeaten this season.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Then how did you know it was dire?

It's a friendly, England were 4-0 up and the subs would come on. The first half wasn't exactly brilliant either to be honest.

 

[steds]

It's like a GCSE (or possibly an A-level?) in a non-academic subject AFAIK.

They do different levels. The one I'm on is an A-level type thingy.

 

[steds]

Not really. It's only just finished.

Yet you haven't moaned about the England manager.

Funny that...

 

[bugssy]

well i must admit liverpool played there best tonight when they where 1 - 0 down. and definately had the better chances and should have won the game, however where probably lucky to get the penalty to get the goal. not the best start to the season for the might reds.
