England vs Slovenia & other internationals 5. September

One might ask the valid question of whether Johnson perhaps struggles against pace, as he did somewhat against Robben and Babel when England played Holland.

Pace is certainly not something that Kranjcar has though

[-V-]

I really don't know where people get the idea that Kranjcar is such a great player from. He is decent and very dangerous on his day but he makes terrible decisions, shoots too often and is quite inconsistent.

Thank you. Another who agrees with me. He is good 1 day per year

I see that capello is not happy with his defence.
And that glen johnson is 1 of the players
Who is being labelled as a weak link.
I knew that would happen
He needs 2 work on his defensive duties.
Like I said in another thread,possibly his own thread.
He might be found out against the better teams of the premiership.

So the guy turned him and got a cross in. Johnson didn't cover himself in glory trying to close him down but teams will manage to get crosses into the box. It's inevitable. The main problem for England was that Lescott got done by the stirker, didn't follow his movement and ended up on the wrong side of him.

Kranjčar won't even play on the left but behind the striker, like he did against belarus or whoever they were playing on saturday

Just seen the Argie v Brazil goals and have to say that the third goal by Fabiano was just sublime. Some player he is turning out to be.
