England vrs Turkey and other (Spoiler Thread)

Well we need to win were playing in fornt of some of the most passionate fans in the country and Roonaldo has taken the place of donkeyboy.

Could this be the start of something good or will england win and SVEN keep his job ?

The team looks to be playing the popular champ manager 4-1-2-1-2 formation although I have recently been england I unlike Sven did not play this formation while playing Turkey so lets just see if Svens Champ Man experience is different from mine.

Starting Line Up!

James
Neville, Ferdinand, Campbell, Bridge
Butt
Beckham, Gerrard
Sholes
Rooney, Owen

So Ladies and Gentlemen Lets see how tonight Pans out.

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 19:41

kick off at 8:00PM I think or maybe 7:45

so basically I'm useless but someone else will be able to help.

Tukish Starting Line Up

Rustu
Fatih, Alpay, Bulent, Ergun
Okan, Tugay, Basturk,Emre

Somebody and Nihat

if anyone got that other forward I'm sure they will tell you

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:06

thats twice that emre has had a go at beckham

becks has got to be careful we know how wound up he can get and we really dont need him to get sent off etc etc

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:07

never a foul in a month of sundays ref Beckham got the ball FFS

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:08

yellow card for Becks out of the Slovakia game

CALM down FFS lads otherwise were not gonna finish the game with 10 men.

Turkey have easily been the better team in the first 15 minutes. They are doing what england cant, which is keep the ball.

England's offside trap simply is not working, thats 2 times they have beaten it

are you actually watching the game ?

England are at least edgin it at the moment Turkey haven't done anything yet of note.

exactly the guy is purely awful
I'm sure Dyer could have played that role as he did play on the left last game but Gerrards role seems a little tighter to the middle allowing Bridge to get down the left.

That sort of role would suit Dyer far better that Gerrard IMHO.

EDIt Would have been better off keeping the same midfield as against lichenstein but switching to this formation with dyer as the left CM and Gerrard as the DM

good spell this by England lets hope we can get something soon

If Owen (?) had not fallen over when running to the near post Becks cross would have been perfect

none that im aware of gilly nothing been mentioned so far

good atmosphere at the moment north East fans doing us proud once again.

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:31

good double save by James well played there by Turkey.

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:33

yellow card to Okan

What happened there ???????

Becks needs to calm down here he gonna get sent off.

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:36

EDIT I also need to calm down, get far too worked up about the England team which is why I often watch it away form the forums so I dont get myslef in trouble or annoy other posters too much.

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:41

I tell you what why dont we just give becks a free role to go wherever he wants on the pitch and do Gerrards job for him while Gerrard sits back relaxes and has a nice cup of tea with Rio and Campbell ?

EDIT Jazz I edited that out of my post.

Picture how wound up I get when Man utd play Arsenal. Multiply by around 10 and you will get somewhere near how i feel when England are playing. sorry.

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:43

ROONEY AWEsome how the hell did Owen Miss ?????

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:47

Half Time not bad so far by England think were edging it slightly but I really would be thinking of bringing

Dyer on for Gerrard to make more of the game down the left as Gerrard is playing to deep.

Dyers pace will also help Owen and rooney as he will be able to go box to box to support the forwards.

One fan injured in crowd trouble outside the ground before the match. ENgland fans trying to stop turkey fans getting into the ground.
