Erm, yeah.
That's sort of the point of the joke.

Love Rio..."if that was me I'd be telling sterling to cross"

Sorry I missed how you changed the game that way as part of the golden generation..

This is part of the problem...ex England players as pundits dissecting the next lot like they did better....ffs....

 

Ray Wilkins not pointing the finger at one player.....except Sturridge.

RAY WILKINS: NOT THE RIGHT XI

"Going into the tournament we felt we had half a chance but I said beforehand that we couldn't keep a clean sheet. We weren't playing against the best team in the tournament but they set themselves up magnificently.

"The goals we conceded were very poor. I'm pointing the finger at everyone; not just Joe Hart. He should have saved the second goal but we can't keep covering up for people.

"It wasn't the right starting XI for me; Harry Kane was isolated. I would have taken Sturridge off and played Rashford a lot earlier."

 

I don't think Studge was good today, but ffs - Kane was better?

 

Tbf I can see why. Sturridge was not comfortable there but Rashford plays on the RW more than he has as a striker.

 

Is right, kick them all in the bollocks(bar Rashford)but Wilkins singling out Sturridge and protecting Kane from criticism is pathetic.
Kane should have made sure he wasn't "isolated"

 

Ok, so swapping Sturridge for Rashford earlier would have guaranteed the win?

If Rashford had came on for Sterling that would have made more sense.

 

Danny Murphy..."I don't think I've seen a better keeper in one on ones" on De Gea


Errerr...it may hurt me but Peter Schmeichel?

 

Good shout.

 

But Rashford has played as a RW, not on the left although he could play there. The only argument you can make is that Sturridge should have been played up front with Kane. But even then, I'd have Rashford on the right of that diamond.

Sterling by the way was just a massive **** up. Once you discount him, who could have played there from the squad?

 

Rashford played on the left and in the short period of time he was on you could see he would have run the Iceland defence ragged if he'd been given the nod over Sterling.

But tbf I couldn't care less now, whats done is done and Woy is historwy.

 

Fair point but it still doesn't help Sturridge. At the end of the day, there were far too many players in the wrong position... in the wrong formation ffs!

Yep **** it.

 

Milner..... reliable winger who could have come in. .. just saying. . Slow as **** but can deliver.

 

I think this every time I hear the co-commentator say something like "Oh he's got to score there" at every half chance or somesuch. Like they never fluffed a chance or made a bad pass or anything.
I'd bin the lot of 'em and go back to the days when a solo commentator just described the action.

 

See! No joy!

You all start the tournament pretending like yer **** and will go nowhere but the anger after one match shows its a lie...

I'm not on the wumarket here like our Welsh incumbents lol but for all your talk of "our team will be hopeless" when will you just enjoy being there? It might allow the players to do the same?

 

I've invented a word...wumarket
...German wum.

 

Think there is a difference between being **** and losing to someone like Germany, France or Italy or even drawing against Slovakia. To losing to Iceland who don't even have a professional league.

Yes England aren't a top 10 side but we'd expect to beat Iceland

 

Looks like someone beat you to it frank.

Except you lose points or go out to teams like that all to often..

In danger of sounding like a hippy. There's never any fun surrounding your national team..be it manager..players or fans
..there should be! You have exciting players!
