gethinO Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Yeah, we need another Mirallas type player on the other wing. Pace on the counter attack would be amazing. Something we've never really had at Everton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think McManaman could be an answer to that. He has pace and like Mirallas isn't scared to take on defenders. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 What the hell do they look like in the photo at the head of this piece!? There's only Jermaine and Theo ready for a paddle in the sea. And is that an armed guard in the background? All that's needed is for Ashley to jump up, welly a beach ball into the sea and shout "AV IT".

Romey 1878 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I will never get that 45mins of my life back watching the first half of the England game. Jesus wept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I can't remember the last time I watched an England side so bad. I don't know what goes on in an England camp, but it sure as hell isn't working. They need to get shut of Roy Hodgson if they are to get anywhere near the England sides of old. If they were a Prem team they'd get relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we can't pass to save our lives, have no composure on the ball and very little in the way of creativity. We need to make more Jack Wilshere's and less Jack Rodwell's and James Milner's. Hodgson doesn't help though. Phil Jones in midfield? Bloody hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hart; Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines; Jones, Carrick; Walcott, Lampard, Milner; Rooney. Subs bench: Cole, Foster, Lescott, Rodwell, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Defoe, McCarthy. That's a selection that shows Hodgson is out of touch, and guided by the press. He really needs to look outside the top 6 sides more. It's desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I have no time for the England national team. It's full of media 'hotties' and not on ability or form. No consideration for future players either. We just 'hope' we'll be ok. It's rediculous. Matt and pete0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gethinO Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 According to Clive Tyldesley "we'll be talking about this moment for years to come". No Clive, no we won't be talking about Chamberlain's goal in a friendly against Brazil in 10 years time. Tit! Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_E Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 1-0 Italy win. Not a single England player impressed me, Butland was a really destabilizing force in goal, glad we didn't get him in January based on this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I doubt it's going to get any better if the people in charge share Steve McClaren's attitude. He was making excuses: nervousness, inexperience. Glen Hoddle hit the nail on the head: no players that can pass the ball. You simply couldn't keep possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 The other teams in the group didn't particularly impress either though. Norway played well in the first half, but we're crappy in the second (they were down to ten men though). Italy weren't anything special either apart from Insigne and Verratti. And Israel were utter shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People always make excuses for England's poorness; full squad and U21's. They need to face facts and deal with the root of the problem.
