rio ferdinand "we've got to capitalise when we are on top"

so when were we on top then rio? first two minutes, that was it


spanish press slating england and also mcclaren

 

Why would spanish press slate england?

Would they prefer we were brilliant and beat them?

David James plays out of his skin since august - Ben Foster is picked.

Why do we have to play formations that none of the premier league clubs play? Crouch never plays up by himself, Lampard never goes on the left. Keiron Dyer? worth 20 mins but no more?

It must be them coaching badges, Davey's been known to pick some strange teams in his short reign.

 

what do you mean?

the spanish press, including the better regarded papers like el pais have all slated england. they have said we were lacklustre, one of the poorest english teams they have played for a while and that mcclaren won't be in a job for much longer.

the spanish manager also said he thought we were weak ; he thought we were one dimensional and it was easy to play against us.

 

"we were weak ; he thought we were one dimensional and it was easy to play against us."

Sounds like Barnsley at the moment.

 

What England need is....

Nicky Wroe and Kevin Donovan organising the midfield and getting in behind the back line.
