England v Germany

[frogwoman]

bollocks.

he decides what system to play, which players to play where, and what substitutions to make, and he's been fucking all of that up all world cup.

To be fair all the managers do the same mistakes- 442 formations, obsessed with "big name" players like rooney etc regardless of what state they're in, etc

Capello: "We played well"

Discuss.

"we played well at 2-1, 2-2".

Yeah. we did. It was the other bits that were shit.

 

[butchersapron]

Let the recriminations begin!

Who bears the blame for this national disaster?

The PEOPLE demand answers!

Steve Maclaren.

 

[Epico]

In my head I suppose I'm relieved that they beat England by more than one goal, because at least we can't go down the "WE WUZ ROBBED" road. That gets embarassing after a bit. We weren't robbed, we were beaten by a better team.

This is my viewpoint exactly.

It would have been hell if it had stayed 2-1.

 

[rekil]

"sticky ball" - Gerrard.

 

[Badger Kitten]

Fuck off, Butchers.
Dunno what your problem is, I've never decided to pop up when you are posting and get shitty with you, so just fuck off and stop doing it to me.

 

[Diamond]

That was abysmal.

It was almost beyond what is conceivably possible for the individual players in the team.

 

[weltweit]

Beaten by a better team, on the day.

 

[Madusa]

"sticky ball" - Gerrard.

 

[Pickman's model]

Fuck off, Butchers.

How tiresome. At least we can get on with some proper banter now.

no they don't, and the highest paid manager in the world cup should have been a lot better than he was, simple as that.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Beaten by a better team, on the day.

But Germany weren't that good. That's what is so annoying. That was the worst defensive display I've ever seen from England. Inept.

 

[editor]

We've just had to put up with some morons in a Dorset pub singing about England winning the war.

Jeez.

 

[sihhi]

Anyone hear Graham Taylor at 16:55 on radio 5? What was his point about immigrants?

C'mon. Someone must have been listening to Radio 5

 

[imposs1904]

Hodgson for England manager?

 

[tom_craggs]

Hodgson for England manager?

Would love that, and would allow Domenech to take over at Liverpool.

 

[Dandred]

We've just had to put up with some morons in a Dorset pub singing about England winning the war.

Jeez.

That's why I'm glad they lost. Just too many English wankers.

 

[rekil]

Hodgson for England manager?

He's off to Liverpool? One sinking ship at a time.

 

[cliche guevara]

We've just had to put up with some morons in a Dorset pub singing about England winning the war.

Jeez.

I don't get why idiots always sing "Two world wars and one world cup" at the Germans. Haven't they won three world cups?

 

[RaverDrew]

Fuck off, Butchers.

Capello limited himself terribly with his squad selection. Upson, King, Johnson shouldn't be within a million miles of the England squad - and nor should Barry

But the German forwards made the most of their opportunities, I don't think ours did the same.

 

[Lakina]

I don't why, but feels like James corden should definately share some blame here

Jeez.

oh diddums

Upson was the only one who managed to score (except Lampard)

 

[Diamond]

Hodgson for England manager?

Would be a great option but why would he take it?

Why would anyone take the England job for that matter?

This generation, for what it was worth, has had it. The next generation doesn't look too bright either.

The FA needs to start a root and branch reform aiming for success over a 25 year period.

Let's take the Dutch and French systems as the basis and then go from there.

 

[Dandred]

Fuck off, Butchers.

[scooter]

Yeah but we'd have had Rio and probably Beckham if they hadn't been injured. Rio may have made the defence look different

So who should then? enlighten me.

2 Centre Backs and a Right back.

oh, and a midfielder.
