philipl Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I'll have a look if Bentley comes on.

Tim Southampton Rover Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 The way we're playing, I can see Austria scoring. Bentley touched the ball once in about 8 mins. Twice now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Southampton Rover Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 FFS Lampard. Trying to score that precious goal to keep him in the squad even though every shot is going 10000m wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabbi Graeme Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Take Lampard off for god sake his long range attempts at goal are wasteful. whatever the result this must move Mclaren one step nearer the exit door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Southampton Rover Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Probably mean Crouch upfront with Gerrard behind striker and Lamps and Barry in central midfield...if that's the case then why get rid of Sven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Southampton Rover Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 He should still be 1 or 2 weeks off a comeback by the time we face them. Good for us, bad for England. England win 1-0. Poor performance but at least we know for sure that even if Israel do get points from Russian game, we will probably fail to beat Croatia! Come on Israel!

philipl Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) Everybody must now be praying for Russia to get the result they need. I shudder to think what McClown would consider to be a line-up capable of beating Croatia if we still need to win that one. Ah well, that's as close to Austria and Switzerland any of the home nationsare going to get in 2007/8. Austria were every bit as woeful as their recent form suggested from the bit I saw.

Fife Rover Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 This is now sick and shambolic! Maclaren knows that he is a dead man walking and all this is obviously now a publicity / marketing move to get the entire Beckham PLC circus to limp and stutter pant past 100 games for England. I suggest that beneficiaries must now include Maclaren after his squirm making flight to LA to talk to Beckhams 'fitness' consultants. Looks rather like Mc Claren has been tapping Beckham up to employ him when he loses his job as England manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevidgeBlue Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 And Venables thought... There is supposed to be a picture here of Venables looking like "what the **** was that?" as Beckham is substituted. Whilst I'm not a fan of Ginger Sven I have to say also that Venables is very possibly the most over-rated manager/coach in the history of the game. What's he ever won? Something with Barcelona and an FA Cup with Spuds? Big deal. And if he's half the tactical genius he's cracked up to be, why are we in our current predicament? Long term, best thing is if we fail to qualify, Ginger Sven, El Tel and all the deadwood get swept out and "The Special One" is appointed. Will never happen. Too blindingly obvious, yet potentially controversial for the FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
