Think Mclaren is up for the job ? Does England side seem weak without Beckham? Think we can win Euro 2008?

no no yes

--------------------------

McLaren has done nothing to show he is an international manager. Poor selection of formation today, and wrong players in wrong places.

We have the midfielders to cover Beckhams position (though not Gary Neville who seemed to be wide right today :eek7: ).


I still think we can win Euro 2008. I just wish the FA had shown more bottle when selecting the manager (one of the Italians who wanted the job, Oneill (Who is a top top manager) even Allardyce would have brought something different to the job.

McLaren is just a continuation of the Erikson reign with minor changes.

Given the quality of the players in that team they should be (better). Seems they're not as cohesive as in previous years, should start playing as a team instead of 11 players :(

Yes seems Mclaren wonts a youth team but sure its best to have mix team, experience players in the sqaud?

I didnt see the game so I cant comment. However against Andorra wtf was he playing at. Whats the point of playing against a 3-4-3 formation and playing down the middle???? I think we used the wings about 5 times the whole game and this is where england looked the most dangerous.

Im a big believer that if your players form is crap, you drop them. Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard and Carrick are all underperfoming for their clubs.

Oh yeah the other thing i was going to mention. Stewart Downing seems to be going the same way David Beckham was for Sven, the little pal that always played and was never dropped.

Hopefully Joe Cole (despite being a right footer) will play on the left some more and shift him out of the squad, bloody overrated player.

Why do these players play like gods for thier League teams yet stick them in an England shirt and they play like San Marino with leprosy?

God, we may as well play the youth team instead

im not a big football fan, but heres my 2 cents

sven was a wanker... he didn't care if they lost or won, he just wanted to have afairs
beckham is also a ****... he cost us 2 championships, iirc, he's only real skill is taking corners/free kicks and he does it poorly, as the majority of the time he tottally miss's... it was like constantly having 10 men on the field
and yes... now that there gone i think we have a better chance than ever, however there are still teams out there that can serve our ass's up on a silver plater

Such ignorance.

Firstly, no one player can cost us a championship and secondly, one of those he actually saved us on too and his saved us on atleast one more.

What is there to laugh about? He is correct - You don't like the country, therefore you should find somewhere else to live. Maybe you should try living in a nice country like Mexico, or Brazil... the "yobs" over there have guns!

It doesn't matter if we are crap, we have an English manager!

The muppets who were screaming for an English manager have got what they wanted. Tactically clueless and we were made to look like a 2nd rate footballing nation. Playing Gerrard on the right wing on Saturday (because he hasn't the balls to drop Lampard and play Gerrard where he should be), Carrick as the ball winning midfielder, Downing being in the squad let alone on the pitch and persisting with Rooney at a time when the kid is clearly struggling. I'd be calling for McLaren to go except I'd be worried the FA would turn to O'Neill and nick him off us at Villa Park.

Oh well, atleast I can look forward to Saturday when we take on Spurs :p

England owns, it’s just all the fucking tax is retarded. its not the fact you pay tax out of you're wages so some chav or pikeh in a council estate can live on the dole his fucking live, its the fact there’s tax for everything and it gets wasted half the time.

thats just given your boys the kiss of death methinks... time to stick a shitload of cash on spurs :D


And on a controversial note - I still think Rooney is the most overhyped player in an Egnland shirt tbh - for a near enough 30mil player he doesnt do nearly enough - he doesnt score enough, doesnt set up enough, just does enough to make a decent highlight reel every couple of months ... in the same bracket compare him to Henry or Ronaldinho even - I would take either of them over Rooner (talking club level ofc unless someone can prove Ronaldinho's gran was Welsh which would be nice :) )

Rooney is the new Beckham - great for a highlight reel and nothing more - Le Tissier was better - at least he had shitloads of highlight moments ;)

Greece @ Old Trafford anyone?
Argentina in Japan?
Ecudor in Germany?

Beckham dragged up out of the shit many times
