England have no identity. We watch teams on the continent and try to replicate their style of play nationally when for club the players play a far quicker in your face brand of football. We should be trying to perfect what we're good at. Pace, power and dynamism.
You can't seriously play Henderson, Wilshere, Lallana and Milner all together. They are far too one paced and not good enough collectively to be effective without pace. We just need to keep it simple. Play a 4-5-1 and have a front 4 not afraid to rotate positions and run at players.
--------------------------------------Hart---------------------------
Clyne-------(whoever grabs it)------Cahill------Bertrand
----------------------Henderson--------Wilshere-------------
Walcott------------------------Ox--------------------Welbeck
-------------------------------Rooney----------------------------
That would have a far greater dynamic approach than the sluggish 5-10 yard sideways passes that we've seen today.
Sturridge, Sterling, Townsend are all capable of challenging for the front 4 spots as well. Play those in form. Sterling should never have been out there today.
Milner, Carrick, Lallana and co should all be pushing for a central role along Henderson.
Waste of a friendly really - the football on show was diabolical and lacklustre. Can't wait for Euro 2016 on this performance.
We'd never try anything so adventurous or risky as that under Roy sadly. Sideways 10 yard passes ended by a daft cross to an isolated front man it is.
It's not a cumfest though is it? The only reason anybody said anything was because some idiot said 'Jack Wilshere has been nothing short of abysmal', which is a laughable statement.
Wilshere has completely run the show for England in his last several performances, what are you talking about?
Go back and watch his performances. He was England's best player in all but one of them if I remember correctly and he got awarded MOTM 3 or 4 games on the bounce.I don't know who said Wilshere was abysmal today but he wasn't and in the first half he probably was the best player for England. That's not saying much though and I don't think he was better by a mile. I like Wilshere, don't get me wrong. I like how he drives forward with the ball, can smoke a 20 deck of Benson's in a day, plays penetrating passes and links up with other players. However, I'm not sure how you think he ran the show in his last several games, most of which he spent the time falling over himself and other players.
Good post although I'd probably swap Walcott for Sturridge when he's fit.The state of that midfield. A midfield 3 of Milner, Henderson and Barkley .... with Townsend and Jamie Vardy.... We expect chances from that? That was the worst game I have ever seen.
It really boggles my mind. I know its a friendly, but that was terrible, especially the second half. Awful.
Play an attacking 4, with one holding midfielder and one linking midfielder. Use players who will actually take responsibility and try to do something with the ball, instead of picking the "stable" players who do a job for their teams on rotation. Get Wilshere on the ball, and make Rooney the focal point of the team, he needs to be closer to the midfield because our CBs are terrified of the ball. The wide players we have that beat their men are Sterling, Welbeck and The Ox. The goalscorers we have are Rooney, Sturridge and Walcott. Everyone else can fuck off. We should play on the break with pace.
For the qualifier:
-------------Hart
Clyne-----Cahill---Smalling----Gibbs
-------Henderson---Wilshere
Ox------------Rooney---------Sterling
-----------------Walcott
Yeah same. Find it quite early although given the risk of trouble between both sets of fans (has there been any trouble?) I can understand. Bit annoyed I didn't watch it but it sounds like it was shit.What an absolutely stupid time for an international Lunch time on a Sunday. UEFA naffing about with international kick off times is shit. should be Saturday or Wednesday night and only those times unless it's a championships
still doesn't sound like i missed much

Don't think it had anything to do with UEFA....think both nations agreed this was the best time to prevent any trouble from the fans. It was basically a move to make sure most fans were sober going into the ground.What an absolutely stupid time for an international Lunch time on a Sunday.

Less creative in midfield than Reading.. And that is saying something.
Always said that Milner is a decent player for England, Henderson is a decent player for England, but Milner AND Henderson playing together just doesn't work.
Milner and Henderson are the new Gerrard and Lampard :jones:
