Come on sign it, you know it makes sense. 1) he's got the passion for England 2) he's got years of international experience 3) he's already employed by the FA 4) many of the players in his team have played under him already, thus he has the players respect 5) he isn't scared to try new players/tactics 6) isn't lots of younger players coming up together like the German model ? Plus what I've seen tonight, against strong opponents, is better than anything under Caprapo
I missed the first half but they need the young players together to build a team for the future, I'm not sure Harry will change anything until after the Euros if he gets the job and it could be the case of the same old Lampard/Gerrard/Terry England failure as it has been for the last ten+ years if not.
We've played OKish but it was the same under Capello tbh. We never get hammered by the other good teams, and we've at times beaten them. I'd say this was about average. I wouldn't object to Pearce as manager, I don't see many other candidates.
First goal was awful defending, Cahill and Smalling both followed the strikers run and gave Robben miles of space, excellent finish though
Yes, even if they are losing now, bad misses from Sturridge and Downing though hope Wigley hasn't brought our striking problems to England with him
Agreed with bad defending, not sure why Pearce didn't go with Smalling and Jones seeing as they already know each other very well at club level
holland look in 2nd gear to me, strolling there way through it, while the likes of milner and downing are plan b, wel still be a long way behind im afraid, there just higher profile kevin kilbane and craig ***ans, all huff and puff.
Are you joking? Robben has one wand of a foot and one foot that is only used for standing on, so what do the 3 England defenders do? Force him from that standing foot onto the wand of a foot and he duly puts it away. Shocking defending and a lack of either nouse or organisation.
i actually felt bad winning my bet with that last minute deflected goal, maybe i should donate the winnings to charity ..
Robben had far too much space. Went from the edge of his own box to our box unchallenged. There was an occasion in the first half when their full back ran down the entire right wing and not only was he unchallenged but Gerrard actually moved out of the way to avoid challenging him. You can't give players that much room.
