Match Day Thread England v Spain

We always play well in the friendlies. My point was more, if it wasn't a friendly, regardless of who we were playing and which players they fielded, we'd have been our own worst enemy and played like dog ****.

 

Is it alright? I've thought about having a watch of it myself.

 

Danny Murphy is convinced by the FA chairman's notes in the match programme that Southgate isn't getting the job.

 

even a friendly game.... changing players 1/2 way through is a bad idea. each player should get 90 minutes.

 

Even if they are injured or not playing well?

You don't really get the purpose of friendlies, do you?

 

so you think that changing goalies after 45 minutes was a great idea?
change is fine, but give him 90 minutes.
playing a different formation is fine, but do it for 90 minutes.

over a game a players concentration will drop, so giving them 45 minutes wont exactly tell you ****

 

I would. More games = better understanding.

 

no lets leave players on, even if they have a broken leg!
cretin

 

Brazil play the exact same XI, every game.

 

You were the one who wrote that each player who started should stay on for 90 minutes.You should learn to write what you mean. Moron!

 

obviously,
sub for injuries..

 

And if someone is playing crap? Or the other side change their formation and you want to see the best way to counter it?

 

a s

all I said was 'changing players after 45 minutes in order to learn things is a bad idea'
now youre starting to split hairs.

 

I bet they played 90 minutes though.
like I said 'concentration levels drop over 90 mins'
you learn more by playing them over 90 minutes.
a good example was taking Hart off after 45 minutes.
Hart shouldnt have been on the pitch if he was gonna be subbed.

 

An excellent example of stating the bleedin' obvious!

 

I admit that I dont know much about Brazilian football,.
I admit that I dont really care about Brazilian football either.
changing goalies at 1/2 time was a ****ing rookie mistake.
