Is it? Losing the ball is losing the ball, if you lose it unnecessarily as I feel he does too often then surely that's worse?
The same thing happened in Hastings, they knocked down the beautiful old Cricket ground that Sussex used to visit once a year and put up a bloody shopping centre! Complete with a silly cricketer statue to rub salt into the wound.
Well said Dixon. We come into the cup using Lallana the whole time, and everyone raves, then use him for dribs and drabs in the games that matter. Bizarre.
They really ****ed that up. Winnable game. Didn't understand Hodgson's initial tactics or whatever his change in tactics was supposed to be. Offense was actually not that bad and gives reason for hope. Defense was a shambles. Should have taken Clyne and/or Chambers.
That thought did cross my mind. To hardly play Lallana made me wonder whether Roy felt his head wasn't right.
The commentator was right, we really don't have anyone of Suarez's ilk. Obvious I know, but the truth. What pisses me off is just how woeful our final ball is.
Jokes aside, I hope Lambert starts against Costa Rica, along with Barkley & Lallana. Even Fat Frank (for his deflected goals).
In terms of the second goal, seems like exactly the sort of thing Jay Rod might latch onto. The finish... maybe beyond him.
Are we allowed to talk cricket on this page?? I know the ground you referred to - Summers of 1976 to 78 in particular and a few more before and a little while after - I spent following Hampshire around the southern counties - Barry Richards was my hero and if you have read Dicky Birds biography - the best batsman he ever watched as an umpire...
I wish Shaw could play right back as out of Baines and Johnson I would drop Johnson but Shaw is still a better option then Baines.
What the actual ***** was that? Bunch of overrated overpaid pricks, our defence was rigid as pyramid of cards.
