England's World Cup let down

[McDermotX]

Yes Townsend. Sterling's challenge was fine, that one by the Honduras lad was abominable.

[Kenneth]

Welbeck has no business being in international football.

We have some real technical quality at the moment with Lallana, Barkley, sterling, Sturridge, gerrad, Wiltshire. And then there's Danny ****ing Wellbeck in there ****ing it all up.

[McDermotX]

Bit silly by Sturridge.....On his left, should be battering that.

[Leyton388]

its a bloody friendly where players are desperate not to get injured. Its just a work out. No relevance to the Italy game. Most of the other countries are having dire build ups.

Still no excuse for the slack passing and having Rooney in the starting 11.

Yep, smash it across the keeper to the bottom corner , he's been doing it all season. Not sure what's going on with his finishing.

[Liverpool]

Whats with Johnson always telling whoever has the ball to slow the play every game about ten times? No matter what the score is, how many goals we need, how the game is going. "Just slow the game down lads"

[Gray]

Welbeck has no business being in international football.

Wellbeck is up there with Carlton Palmer , Geoff Thomas and Michael Ricketts

[Rich]

Defensively England look so dodgy. There's a calamitous error waiting to happen whenever they start playing around at the back.

Yeah.....remember a few games before the end of the season when he was snatching at things ?
That was setup for someone with his shooting ability to drive across the keeper.
I guess some might say it's a sign of confidence, but when it's 0-0 against Italy with 10mins left, you need to be putting them away.

[Kenneth]

Barkley is still very raw. Bags of talent but his brain needs to catch up with the rest if his development. Pot shots are not going to help the team.

How is Ashley Cole not in this squad? Madness.

[Rich]

Agreed, he needs to pick the ball up higher up the pitch that way when he loses it it isn't costly.

Like when gazza first came on the scene.

[McDermotX]

Lallana...just booked....gets involved in handbags straight after.
Not smart to be doing that in the real thing.

Like when gazza first came on the scene.

I suppose so. I guess you can add Gerrard too , lunging in needlessly.
