England's World Cup Preparation

Such a boring game. Reckon we'll score 2 goals in the group stage.

 

What on earth made you feel optimistic after Wednesday. Ecuador made us look poor at times.

 

Apparently there is only room for 40 minutes. Producers have picked the storm break.

 

"second string team" that were positive. Obviously, the defence was terrible, I mean what one wouldn't be with Jones and Smalling in it, but we created chances, and were bright.

Some of that team did well, but we were just cut apart on the counter so easily and that just wasn't the defence.

 

And Italy drew with Luxembourg!

 

Chamberlain will make the World Cup says Hodgson. That is one positive out of tonight, I would say.

 

This team uninspiring and boring to watch tonight I cant see them getting out of group stage and be the plane early home Sturridge useless England team made-up Liverpool players

 

Not worried really. We'll remember this as much as we remember any warm up game - ie, not at all.

 

The team just are not gelling at the moment. You can see the club styles in each player. Johnson and Lallana did not play for each other. Everytime Johnson wanted to cut inside and take up the same space as Lallana. Conversely Lallana barely drifted out wide, so we had no width to try and get in behind the Hondurans. Wilshere wanted to carve his way through the middle with quick one twos, but no one else seemed on the same wavelength and everyone knew the minute Sturridge got the ball that they would not see it again

 

Sturridge needs to be sent home and away from the squad entirely. Far too selfish. Rooney should be put back up front and a strong man manager needs to tell him to stay the **** up front and not think he has a free role.

 

Sturridge would normally have buried his two chances, and then we'd all be talking differently.

 

Most worrying thing is that England are significantly less than the sum of their parts at the moment. Lots of exciting players who still can't play together. Hopefully something clicks in the next week because at the moment we're pinning our hopes on someone pulling something out of the bag all by themselves and as we saw tonight that's not something you can rely on.

 

Highlight of that match for me was most definitely observing Chiles during the rain/storm delay, loved it.
Other than that not good really but it doesn't matter, just play better in the games coming up and let's see what happens. One thing I did like was Hoddle and co saying Adam should start, and if he get's more of the ball he can make things happen - they speak the truth!

 

Not for England he wouldn't normally. He is a selfish ****er that has scored 4 goals for England 3 against **** teams and 1 against a good team created by someone who does pass.

I would not be surprised if his wiki has his pass success at 100%. i.e. zero out of zero. Glad an England fan threw water at him.

 

Don't hold back now, tell us what you really think

 

England should start with Lambert in the world cup over Sturridge.

 

At least they're being consistent.

 

Least England cured my insomnia.
