Now the emotion is out of the World Cup, the original analysis that Sturridge can't be relied upon has never been more evident than it is now.
Day 13: Costa Rica vs. England
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
Jones is not a right back, I do wish managers would stop pretending that he is.
The llama looks every inch a dipper!
I love what Townsend said at Barkley's foul: "The referee should let that go!"
A lot of the best things that we have done in this cup have come from Rooney. He is still our best player
Jones looks and plays like a cart horse nowadays
That's just Sturridge's one-footedness yet again getting him found out at international level.
or a bloody midfielder!
The ball was moving when it came to him though, according to the commentators.
Those who can control a football with their first touch are called footballers. Those who cannot are called English footballers.agreed
This England team... just total bobbins.
It's time for Wazza. Last roll of the dice.
Do a Maradona son!!!
Do a Maradona son!!!
It's amazing how average England players look outside of their own league
..needs more Rooney. And maybe Welbeck for Milner/Lallana
Still better than Glen fecking Johnson
why am I even watching this game?
Jeezus!
Jeezus!
now that dick townsend is slagging of the Dutch! three wins ou of three including dismantling the world champions is obviously not good enough. Send them home!
What does it say about the PL.
This is why we're heading home. The team cohesion isn't quite there in attack or defence. We can't seem to put it all together in one performance.
Not really its an overhyped league where all the best players are foreigners
So much for the pre-tournament bullishness about Liverpool were basically competing in this tournament not England. Sturridge has been dire throughout. If it wasn't for Rooney we'd have scored no goals.
Johnson is a horse's arse... long may he go on being selected for the dippers
Another terrible challenge.
Between Jones' donkey like approach to football and Smalling treating the ball like it's made of Ebola virus, who do we go with at centre half from now on?
And we are one-paced and frankly boring
Wasn't Roy Hodgson the man who could beat Man United with a pub team?
You seem to be completely glossing over Sturridge and Johnson's contribution to Rooney's tap in against Uruguay.
I must be the only one that doesn't rate Lallana that highly by the way. Another terrible decision.
Andy Townsend?
Sturridge would have missed that anyway
"more an interception than a save."?!@!!!
That was him.
Hummells.
Oh yeah, I forgot Glenn Johnson tackled someone and it ricocheted for Rooney. Succesful world cup for him.
Red card for Italy.
Agreed. But we do have the basis of a decent side for the next Euros. Unusually for England most of our best potential now is in attack. Tough to see where the defence for the Euros is coming from.
stunning commentary!
You should apply for a job at The Sun with the ability to twist words like that.
It wasnt that bad a challange, fecking hell
Tyldsley overreacting much. Just a normal block really. Standard yellow card
