Mixed emotions last night

[Mook1]

I thought Henderson was good last night, didn't see the England vs Italy game.

No agree, Archie?

He does a lot of leg work & pressing that isn't pretty & tends to go unnoticed, thought he played his usual game last night.

Henderson did what exactly? A lot of leg work and pressing?? He's a midfielder in a WC Finals team who should be at or near his prime in his mid 20s. Pirlo more than 10 years older wasn't under much pressure - so much for pressing and leg work. No wonder it went un-noticed! Last night Henderson wasn't much better. Chances created out of the posession? England didn't have much.

And Gerrard, possibly the best midfielder of the epl era - certainly one of them - is only a shadow of his former self. But he's english captain and it's not the done thing for the media to give him the pelters his abysmal perform

Rooney should've been dropped a couple of years ago. He doesn't warrant the circus that follows him.

ATimIKnow doesn't seem to know much about football.

"Rooney should've been dropped a couple of years ago."


* On you go then deary, tell us who you think should play in his place.


"He doesn't warrant the circus that follows him."

* None of the English team warrant the circus that follows them.


As for knowing about football - that coming from you has to be probably THE most ironic of posts in a long list of self-unaware pysh that you post here.

Why don't you go away and pretend you're a guitarist or summat and let the rest of us discuss the football. There's a good little chap.

Well I didn't see the Italy game, I thought Henderson was good last night, he's not spectacular & probably never will be, he's a water carrier.

All I've seen today is Gerrard getting pelters, I'm not sure what you've been reading but it's not the same as me.

As for the first on my England team sheet, Cleverley

I've no problem with "water carrier" type players in a setup for them. But to my mind you need him to feed someone pulling the strings further forward and England didn't really have anyone like that in the two games so far.

Central midfield seemed to be just harem scarem last night where relative unknowns were everybit as good if not better than much vaunted likes of Henderson and especially Gerrard.

After the first game all the media talk seemed to be Rooney missed a sitter get him TF. Gerrard was poor but did you see the sitter Rooney missed? If Rooney had scored the chance a granny could have put away then Engla

It's hardly Jordan Henderson't fault if England don't have a good player to sit in front of him.

Again, I have no idea what media you are reading today as all I've seen is 'Gerrard should retire', 'Gerrard is finished' type stuff. Personally I couldn't care how any of them play for England as long as they dinnae get injured.

No I quoted the wrong thing. Meant to laugh at the subbuteo post.

Dinnae be too hard on yourself, Archie, we all disgrace the honour of our family like this at one time or another.
