England-2014 World Cup.


Recommended Posts

I don't want to see us taking apart the opposition in warm up games. As the name implies they are only preparation for the real thing. e.g. mental and physical assessment, familiarity and adjustment...

 

Although the FIFA rankings are open to question (are Switzerland really the 6th best team in the world?) England are ranked below two of the teams in their group, so let's keep things in perspective and see how we play in the tournament, when it counts.

I'm not expecting us to take trams apart but we should be at least practising scoring in a practice match. We should also practice defending and Glen Johnson should practice football in general as he couldn't defend for toffee. Great going forward but at his actual job of a defender he is **** poor

The more I see of England, the more I think their issues reflect ours, poor defensively in full back areas, in defensive midfield and don't move the ball quickly enough. If we make the QF's I will be delighted, I have a feeling getting up at 2am and 5am for the second and third game is going to be a futile labour of love!

we play Uruguay @ 8pm and Costa Rica @ 5pm???

Agree that full backs are a big problem, especially Johnson - probably will have to sacrifice either Sterling or the Ox to provide cover -which is a shame as we look quite good going forward !

Sorry I should have said I'm in Oz at the moment and those are the EST kick off times :)

 

Totally agree with your summary, Sterlibg, Ox and for me Barkley / Lallana behind Sturridge would be a great attacking line up but I think Milner has to start to protect our obvious weak link which is Johnson.
