Leicesterpool Posted 8 September 2014 Share Posted 8 September 2014 2-0 Good performance tonight, at times lack of experience showed in one or two of the newcomers but plenty of positives from them. Of course I felt our weakest point of the evening was our defending. However a good performance against a decent opponent away from home who some said we'd be lucky to get a point from, though I did say decent opponents not strong. Be positive and proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 8 September 2014 Share Posted 8 September 2014 Did anyone seriously think switzerland were going to thrash us? How they are 10 places above us I don't know, pretty average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notnow john Posted 8 September 2014 Share Posted 8 September 2014 People laughed when I said Ramsey was going to be a better player than Wilshire. I got dog's abuse when I pointed out Ramsey was Wenger's chosen one of the two. I don't do a lot of told you so's but, seriously, **** Wilshire. He's bollocks. Called it. Ramsey may be better than Wilshire but is that a glowing reference? Ramsey has been piss poor this season.Hammond had him on toast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseBreath Posted 8 September 2014 Share Posted 8 September 2014 Very comfortable win that. A bit more confidence in the first half and it could have easily been four or five. More to do with Switzerland being poor than England being good but still, it's a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theessexfox Posted 8 September 2014 Share Posted 8 September 2014 Inler is a very classy player. All 3 CBs looked solid most of the game, fullbacks are alright, Henderson and Milner are good at what they do, unconvinced by Delph - got energy and pace but not the best first touch and lacks a touch of composure. Sterling's first touch was poor second half, Welbeck looked quick, powerful and can finish, Rooney was Rooney. Some positives to take and a good result.

fuchsntf Posted 8 September 2014 Share Posted 8 September 2014 Because I never overrate England, I reckon England are doing well considering, many had Switzerland as favourites. This is a complete new team, with a new midfield, Wilsheres first full competive international.Delph needs to be on the ball 2 bad tackles.Henderson should be demanding the ball more.Welbeck champagne or selters, seen both sides of him. This team can grow, first we have to take our chances. Switzerland dont forget are higher rated as England and we are playing away. Accept first our true postion in world football, lets say we are the luxembourg of the top nations, then its easier to control our frustration.

The Doctor Posted 8 September 2014 Share Posted 8 September 2014 If the Swiss are Stoke, we are Newcastle United. Delusions of grandeur as one ok result sends everyone into a tizzy about how it's finally your year? Sounds about right. Anyway, that was pretty poor - England were less shit than Switzerland rather than it being a good performance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 8 September 2014 Share Posted 8 September 2014 Good away performance, not fantastic by any means and Switzerland were woeful. We were there for the taking from the start and they were do negative. Cahill excellent, midfield decent but still need convincing long term, always been a fan of welbeck personally and think he gets over the stop stick. It's a good win and hopefully will improve confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 8 September 2014 Share Posted 8 September 2014 Best we've played in a long time. That's what you get for having Sterling behind two strikers. Long way to go before I'm content with England again, but tonight was a breath of fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 8 September 2014 Share Posted 8 September 2014 just to confirm are we allowed to debate the fact switzerland are a top seed at a world cup yet or not? because they are doggo They were there because they earned it topped their group and did the business in their friendlies. Nothing to debate, and did better than us, and the top seed in our group, you can crow about how easy their group was, but ours was topped by Costa Rica. Although they were very disappointing tonight, thankfully, never looked comfortable when we broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
