Leicfox Posted 15 August 2012 Author Posted 15 August 2012 Great goal from Defoe. 2-1 who'd of thought it.
Pst Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 well if its anything like the Euro game it might be a little embarrassing. Eat your words
Captain... Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Nice to see the likes of cleverly, Bertrand, livemoore, walker playing, and not looking too shabby, and where was this Milner in the euros?
Jimothy Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Told to do a completely different job. Was he told to be a footballer tonight?
Jaspa Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 That was just a test for both teams to try different systems and new players. Happy with a win, but Ive seen countless England wins over good opposition in friendlies, but one in competition Happy Roy went with my fave formation for the past 2 years, an Attacking 4-3-3/4-5-1 Defensive The midfield pack worked well, but we only ever really threatened on the break and set pieces. Very boring match, I hope something good is being built Roy
BlueSi13 Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 We played some bloody good stuff tonight and i honestly forget the last time i said that. Dominated both halves and it was good to see the less experienced players performing well. However it is just a friendly so we will see if this performance translates over the coming year. Im also a fan of the red shorts

It wasn't a classic, but it wasn't boring, Roy was trying to get the players to keep possession, something we are normally criminally bad at, it worked in spells, and we looked dangerous at times, but it wasn't the finished article or even close to being a full strength team, but a decent match and a useful friendly all the same.

Im also a fan of the red shorts It was just a friendly but I don't think we have even played as well in friendlies for a long time. Hodgson wasn't happy with what he saw at the Euros and he is looking for more composure on the ball and a better passing game, he is saying the right things and on that display the players seemed to put it together.

No, Its just boring seeing them win everything Stop stereotyping people who dont think the same as you I just dont think we will see that type of display from either teams in competition, the players really didnt seem bothered at times. Used to the Olympic endevour and spirit I guess
