  1. ^I have not been the one continually slagging off Hodgson and Rooney and when he turns it around with 2 good substitutions not a word from you and Rooney has been our best player in both games in MIDFIELD....You also said he is never a midfielder!!

    I think it is you who hasnt got a hang of this football thing!?

    Anyway keep on keeping on with your hatred of all things Hodgson.

  2. I suppose that game put all the Rooney doubters to shame then he was our best player by far and was outstanding in MIDFIELD.

    haha, "outstanding". he played pretty well in the first half against a poor russian side. once they stepped up a bit second half he vanished and was found out. think it was probably harsh to sub him but then the substitutions were much too late and wrong when they came.

    Yes he was outstanding in a role you said he wasn't capable of playing you was wrong lar! He is still the best chance we have of breaking open the opposition with his passing and goals...please get over yourself pal.

    If he played pretty well what about the rest? doesnt matter that you keep boringly monotonously tediously keep slating anything to do with England and Hodgson ....Rooney ran his legs off and was involved in everything good about our performance ...vanished and was found out LOL Behave yourself with silly comments like that!

    The subs were too late yes Sterling and Lala should of been turfed off at half time for Sturridge Vardy or Rashford but England did not do a bad job in a opening game and Ali and Rose and even Hart need to look at themselves for losing concentration for the goal.

  3. I think we are all missing the point here because the way Roy sets his side up we'll need twelve players

    I wasn't missing the point biggrin.png

    1.

    Hart

    Walker Smalling Cahill Rose

    Dier

    Ali Rooney Wilshire

    Strurridge Kane

    Or 2

    Hart

    Walker Smalling Cahill Rose

    Sturridge/Milner Ali Dier Sterling

    Wilshere/Rooney

    Kane

    Or 3

    Hart

    Stones Smalling Cahill

    Milner Ali Dier Wilshere Sterling

    Rooney

    Kane

    Or 4

    Hart

    Walker Smalling Cahill Rose

    Ali Dier Wilshere

    Sturridge Kane Sterling

  4. What would your team and formation be?

    think i posted it earlier didn't i?

    though if england want to exploit the two strikers they have in form play a diamond with dier at the base of it, milner and wilshere or henderson as the two either side and alli at the top of it with vardy and kane up top. if you play 4-2-3-1 then probably dier and milner in the 2 with lallana, alli and sterling ahead with kane up top. vardy to come off the bench as an option then. that way you play players in their most familiar positions and systems and you can play the pressing game that spurs did so well this season and that liverpool did well sporadically. but hodgson doesn't really do pressing and doesn't know how to so he'll probably continue to not get the best out of the players he has in the squad.

    I hear what your saying and agree with the formation just not the personal smile.png

    Wilshere and Ali have to play and so does Wazza so that leaves Dier as the holding midfielder on present form.

    Then you go with Kane or Vardy or both or play Sterling as a floating winger and let Rooney get forward as much as he can to score goals,the team has got talent but unfortunately Ali,Wilshere,Sterling are not goal scorers at the best of times are they.

    Kane and Vardy both play different roles for there clubs mostly Vardy being a breakaway striker that does normally get the early ball down the sides at Leicester and is a runner....Kane is the old fashioned centre forward who leads the line,it remains to be seen if they would play well together as front two? I would like to see Rashford and Sturridge playing with Kane as for me Vardy has had a good season but is not top draw and overrated.

    I think i would even like to see us go with the 1 up front and pack the midfield with a five then you have the option of playing Sturridge/Milner and Sterling as wingers to give us width unfortunately we are not blessed with English wingers at the moment and Hodgson knows that ....Townsend is not international class imo.

    Lallana and Barkley are both versitile and good players but just don't cut it at this level for me Henderson is just a cart horse.

    With Dier playing we have the option to go with a three at the back and let the full backs kick on if we need a goal and then i think we can score goals.

  5. Blimey lads. We haven't even kicked a ball in anger yet. Friendlies are just that, the proper comp still has a week to go. More positive vibes please.

    unfortunately its just hopeless. Theres a group of lads here that could really cause a stir at the euros, they are very talented. But the manager just hasn't got a clue. Flat blunt, easy to defend against and all there best attributes will be denied in a slow, flat formation that will get carved open.

    I could do a helluva lot better.thumbsup.gif

    I must admit that last night was painful to watch, even though Portugal are no mugs, we just didn't seem to have a game plan.. Or at least one that we played to. However, it was a friendly and I'm hoping, nay praying, that was just Roy trying something out and giving a bit of game time to some of the lads. If he puts out that same starting 11 next week, then we are doomed.

    i reckon this close to a tournament kicking off that's his intended starting XI.

    if i gave a toss i'd be very concerned about a manager who picked no actual wingers in his squad then playing the season's two best goalscorers out on the wings. it doesn't bode well for his tournament plans and preparation.

  7. ^Reading a lot in to my comment aren't you. There may well be some thais wearing Leicester shirts as evidenced by your photo, but we haven't EVER seen any and as we live / travel in major conurbations, can only assume it's a few.

    there's loads mate. have been since christmas. not sure what you're trying to achieve here.

    Liverpool arent even in the arguing shiters

  8. Was trying to explain to the wife last night the magnitude of Leicester's achievement this season (whether they win the Premier or not), that most of their players are well known premier players but last summer there's probably not one of them you'd want in your team - they were all basically journeyman pros - but somehow they've put together these average joes to make an awesome TEAM. A lesson and inspiration for all footballers there.

    And all wanabee MASSIVE clubs wai2.gif

  9. Good season for Leicesterites: City are close to being Premier champions for the first time and Leicester Tigers beat Stade Francais to reach a European Champions Cup semi-final for the first time.

    While we are at the crisps are very good too.

  12. Boring Stevie

    How many Ranieri players played? and how many minutes?

    Henderson and Lallana do me a favour

    Hodgson is the manager and picked the team he is also heavily involved in everything sorrounding England give the man some credit for once instead of this futile hatred of a once Liverpool manager,

    Edit swap Barkley for Lala and Drinkwater for Henderson then you are on the right track

  13. ^Not at all...Ben Foster...Paul Heaton...Robert Green...Jordan Pickford plenty of decent keepers to choose from if needed in that order.

    you're taking the former singer of the housemartins and the beautiful south to euro 2016?

    or did you mean tom heaton?

    That exact man! biggrin.png
