Football The 2010/2011 Season Thread

[Ch3tan]

He's not useless, but he's gone the wrong way under Capello's guidance. That said, we need Taylor back.

 

[megadave]

He's fucking useless. Look at that midfield; a load of typical england grafters, no technique or creativity or even strong passing ability. All 4 of them spend most of the time in our own half, even in possession they don't go forward much. Hendersons price tag is a joke and should hopefully make people think twice before doing the same with Rodwell.

Jones looks great though, and Sturridge's shot was sweet, and Welbeck's workrate is impressive.

 

[Everz]

Pearce is a muppet of a manager anyways.

Agreed the aoln, those three look decent the rest look like your typical english crap.

 

[Lethul]

He mainly plays CM.

It's like Real Madrid/Man City buying Gerrard and playing him on the right.. what's the point.

Isn't it generally considered that a few of Gerrards best seasons have been on the wing? So the idea wasn't that stupid imho.

 

[JingleBells]

pearce is almost as useless as capello

some of englands players (the whole midfield 4) look absolutely shit

It's a midfield 3!

The 4th one is Rose who's supposedly upfront on the left but should really be left on the bench, he's looked poor here and poor vs Spain

 

[bainteor]

Why is Rose playing? Surely someone whose whole career has been around football cannot be blind to what everybody else sees? Pearce's idiocy defies belief.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Pearce will just blame it all on not being able to take Wilshere, who while great, is no superhero.

It would have been horrific to think that if he'd gone Wilshere would have had Full Prem Season - U21s - Full Prem Season - Euro 2012 - Full Prem Season without any form of a break. Can't believe some people thought that would be good for the lad, or for England. Short termist thinking not good for the most exciting prospect of his generation.

Rose is awful, even the Spurs fans I know think so. Living off the back of a flukey wonderstrike.

 

[megadave]

Yeah. The fact that Henderson, Mancienne and Rose are playing after that first performance is rather telling of Pearce's management ability. Cleverly being the one dropped is pretty laughable

I'd say AMC..

Pearce says hes good because he can run up and down the left flank a lot. Go figure.

I'm glad Carroll couldn't make it tbh. We play too many long balls as it is with Welbeck leading the line. Imagine the horrors with an actual target man.

Where's McEachran?

 

[Everz]

How much has Mancienne gone backwards.. its insane. Total shambles he looks.

 

[Keitanz]

Yeah. The fact that Henderson, Mancienne and Rose are playing after that first performance is rather telling of Pearce's management ability. Cleverly being the one dropped is pretty laughable

So, if a player plays bad in one match, that player should be dropped for the next one? :s Torres would have been screwed, and Rooney at the start of the season :/

 

[Everz]

Welbeck actually looks decent, good workrate tbh. McEachran would don this eh ?

Henderson has been gash since christmas. Mancienne was a shambles and has been all season, and Rose.. was well.. warming spurs reserves bench?

 

[megadave]

he'd certainly control the midfield better than the current lot and fashion more than 1chance which was actually a 30 yard punt from a loose ball

 

[Keitanz]

All our players are overrated as shit, u21 and senior.

The expectation level is too high, it's at the level where it is crippling the players.

Also, it doesn't help when England "fans" underestimate EVERY country which is not Spain, no one is allowed to be better than England

 

[Everz]

Henderson, so going to continue being a flop.

 

[bainteor]

Has Cleverly not been playing first team football in the Premier League all season at Wigan? And yet Pearce plays Rose who spends most of his time languishing in the reserves at Tottenham.

 

[Calaen]

Rose is a fucking left back. Mancienne is the worst captain ever he never wants the ball, never wins the fucker. Cleverley has been dropped to accommodate the twat.

Come again? You really need to stop readin press releases, we actually have got some decent individual talents in this u-21 setup, there isnt an astounding amount of pressure on them at all. Just the way the football is played is a drag down on ability and names that are on the sheet that shouldnt be.

But he can run REALLY FUCKING FAST so he is good mmk?

See, again, overrated.

If I say anything bad, I must be listening to the press right? yawn.

 

[Lethul]

Isn't Albrighton in the squad?

 

[Embattle]

You'll excuse if I don't think football players and an astounding amount of pressure should really be considered together.

 

[Everz]

No but spilling the same pish that any half arsed article doesn't help much?

There some decent talent in there with the likes of Jones, Welbeck, Sturridge, Cleverly etc etc. Just with overrated pish like Rodwell and crud like Mancienne and Rose in there alongside the most awful of tactics are letting the side down.

And pressure at u-21 level? Get to fuck.

 

[Keitanz]

You'll excuse if I don't think football players and an astounding amount of pressure should really be considered together.

They shouldn't, no.

 

[Everz]

Mancienne off please, We have destroyed him lads .

 

[Ch3tan]

Haha, great comments from everyone (except keitz), it's a shame some of the talent we have left behind or don't start.

 

[soze]

Lansbury has come on and done well he has some real talent and I hope he can make the stepmup.
