England vrs Turkey and other (Spoiler Thread)

I think Bridge needs to go first.

absolutely aweful he has been. Ive also never seen a game where Becks has crossed so badly.

The diamond is not working there is nothing down the left. Get Dyer on and go to 4-4-2.

Rooney has been the daddy. Needs more of the ball and i reckon England can win this.

Turkey however ooze class, one of the best midfields in the world.

I meant his temperament, he doesn't look fazed by anything and it's a joy to watch.

I said before, with him in the side, we now have that unexpected factor that can often win games.

It's the fearless play that Leeds had in the CL season.

England don't have it. The players seem bored more than anything else.

ooo Lithuania against the Scot

Penker to Lith scored 1-0

FULL TIME My god bad result for Scotland

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 21:00

Albania 0 - 0 ROI :eek:

and I think Northern Ireland got beat again but missed the score.

Just saw the Lithuania pen and gotta say it looked like the bloke kicked the floor, scottish bloke was no where near him. They still should've won anyway, very bad result. On par with ours against Macedonia.

Rooney has been brilliant, Beckham will be lucky to see the match out and Bridge, Beckham (Crossing), Scholes have all been pathetic so far

Becks crossing hasn't been up to par but at least he is trying as opposed to Gerrard who has done bog all so far.

Miguél · 2 Apr 2003 at 21:04

Second half started a bit better.

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 21:05

OOOO oooo thought he had scored only incehes in it unlucky Becks.

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 21:07

yellow card for one of the turk players bad challenge on gerrard there.

bad free kick there for becks but at least we got a corner wonder what's happening at the moment with becks seems to be getting bad contacts on the ball all the time

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 21:09

another good move but becks fell over ?

Think he might have the worng studs in or something at the moment due to his falling over and below par crossing and passing.

his all round play aint bad though just appears to be his final ball in more occasions than normal

Rooney on the other hand is having a stormer.

That wasnt a bad ball from becks to rooney

Bridge playing a lot better this half as well.

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 21:13

another decent cross by becks followed by a bad one

Bad news though just said owen looks like he has an injury Please GOD NO HESKEY

looks like he's going for Vassell there is a god there is a god.

Grouch · 2 Apr 2003 at 21:13

Looks like Vassel is coming on for Owen.

Owen hasn't done much in the game so should be good to have a change.

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 21:15

good effort by scholes unlucky England

Vassell Gets aCorner

Looking far more promising at the moment England really pushing hard.

Grouch · 2 Apr 2003 at 21:15

First time we have got first to a cross from a set piece i think.

Looking much better this half. But you never know with england

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 21:16

good corner by becks looks like he is finally getting his crossing boots on but gerrards header left a little to be desired.

Turkey have brought on Damala for Okan

good pressure for England at the moment Turkey cant get a touch.

JAzz · 2 Apr 2003 at 21:17

england are playing very well now, turkey cant get the ball off england and turkey are being pushed right back

beckhams crossing has been well below what u would expect from him, very odd
