foxes_rule1978 Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 We have improved from the World Cup , we are quicker and able to create chances... but we haven't improved defensively and still miss good opportunities . Against the top sides we will be massively punished ... you can't make such mistakes and get away with it
Wymsey Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 We're doing well because there's less pressure to perform well, and that's how they'd like to play at - feel free to play their own game.
RowlattsFox Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 Some over the top criticism as usual, decent enough going forward and on another day could have scored 5. Slovenia aren't an overly shit side and have a decent home record. If you're going to play 3 in midfield against a team like this, you need to have an attacking player in there. As lallana proved. Same as normal though, good enough to beat most comfortably but clearly lacking against the better sides.
Frank to be Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 P6 W6 and people are still complaining. Some would have preferred us to have lost I'm sure.
Webbo Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 Gary Lineker england captain Are you being deliberately flippant? We've not lost but we've laboured to victories against average international sides, with boring performances. We are the seeded team so it's likely that we'd be playing lesser teams and we've hardly laboured against anyone. You can't ask any more than a 100% record. Btw Lineker did Captain England on occasions.
Corky Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 One day they'll give out trophies for qualifying then you won't be moaning lads. We scored some fvcking lovely goals tonight.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 P6 W6 and people are still complaining. Some would have preferred us to have lost I'm sure. Honestly people would complain if we won the tournament
Donut Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 Nobody's stopped us so far? Oh come on, weve laboured to a 1-0 win vs Estonia, weve escaped from jail tonight twice vs Slovenia with some bizarre tactical wizardry, weve had one really good performance and that was the game away in Switzerland. Were not going forward whatsoever

I've criticised him in the past but he gave us a different dimension in attack in the second half. Both him and Wilshere turned the game in our favour IMO.
foxfanazer Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 We aren't going to win the Euros under any manager mate barring a miracle. I actually like how the national setup has a little bit of stability now. Roy is getting us through this group with ease so based on that he deserves to take us to France IMO. Besides if we have another nightmare (England has rarely done well at the Euros BTW) he is gone so you will get your wish then. Fair enough. In all honesty I'm not all that bothered about the national side anymore. Dislike the majority of players, manager picks the same old shite and utilises them in the wrong way. Pretty sad really as i used to love watching England even though weren't winning tournaments

Were not going forward whatsoever To be frank, nobody knows that until we play competitive games against the worlds best. Let's see how we get on in the summer next year eh?

Were not going forward whatsoever To be fair against Slovenia twice and Estonia we always was going to win... even at half time I thought we would win this... we had just so much possession in all those games and created chance after chance... even the best teams don't smash every side by 3 or more goals

You can't ask any more than a 100% record. Btw Lineker did Captain England on occasions. I think Pougatch called Rooney Lineker We've done well but we've put in some poor performances where we shouldn't have done

Were not going forward whatsoever If you look at all the stats, possession, shots, passes we were a mile ahead. Apart from a couple of defensive errors and some poor finishing we'd won by a cricket score. I think some people were hoping we'd lost so they could have something to moan about.
ScouseFox Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 Teams like Spain, Germany and Belgium have dropped points to the likes of Slovakia, Ireland and Wales. We've won all our games. And we actually looked quite bright at times today.

lavrentis Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 we're gonna win the euros and come this time next year, i'll probably believe this
ScouseFox Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 yeah true they've struggled in every game they've played.

I think some people were hoping we'd lost so they could have something to moan about.but defensive errors and poor finishing are what separates us from being a good side to a top one
Merging Cultures Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 Anyone else annoyed Rooney is on par with Lineker?
foxfanazer Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 we're gonna win the euros and come this time next year, i'll probably believe this We'll be out by then
Webbo Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 we're gonna win the euros and come this time next year, i'll probably believe this Maybe, maybe not but can some people wait until we've been knocked out before they start moaning.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 but defensive errors and poor finishing are what separates us from being a good side to a top one 100% agree, it is the basics really
Wymsey Posted 14 June 2015 Posted 14 June 2015 Anyone else annoyed Rooney is on par with Lineker? Don't want to think Rooney is a 'legend', as he doesn't have much of a brain or personality; let's be honest.
