Flipper_Al 1,012 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I can see the sense in putting Sterling on the wing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs Mole 74 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Look lads, our team is second rate, scotland have as much hope as we do of winning the world cup and they're not in it.. Our domestic teams rely too much on foreign players, hence at international level English is out played again and again. Last night's game sucked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,786 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Blame the manager for Rooneys performance, f**k sake, he is a No.10........why play him at left mid? You wouldn't play Messi, Bergkamp or Maradonna at left mid would you? I felt for Rooney, I really did, I thought he did well to soldier on because any run of the mill No.10 would have been doing his nut. Italy never came out of first gear, Pirlo is a class act.....never gave the ball away once. Even when they tried to put 2 close to him he was walking out of challenges no sweat. England were better than I have seen them at a major comp for a long time but, sadly, not up with the big boys. Hand on heart, I don't think Woy gives a shite about this comp.....with this group of players he is thinking 2 years time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he is then he is crazy. If he thinks Rooney isn't good enough in the proper no.10 position then he should be benched. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,786 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 In reply to your first question mate, you have qualified so why not?........get to play a good mixed bag of international teams at the worlds biggest comp, don't get better experience than that.......let's face it, it's not like they are paying for it out of their own pockets is it and you not gonna not go to the World Cup are you? In reply to your second, I agree totally,play him where he plays or not at all because that's not fair to the dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CBdogsA1 420 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I wasn't really meaning that to be a question. I see where you come from with your answer, but, surely all England fans deserve a team and manager who go there thinking they are best prepared and selected to win the tournament. After all is that not what all the friendlies are arranged for, to prepare a winning team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could well be but can't recall him saying anything to that effect, the journalists etc would have had a field day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bracken boy 584 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I like my winger or whoever plays wide roo, milner, gerrard to beat the fullbacks but thats not going to happen unless you have the right suited player in his normal position, its simple if roy dosnt want roo in the hole drop him simples. I honestly thought 2nd half when roo was in hole the passes started working but hey roy just sort this shite out you now had long enough to do so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Themoocher 231 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think Rooney should be dropped if hes not going get played in the no 9 or no10 role. Dont see the point in playing him out of postion when theres better lads that can play on the wing with more pace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
