The Montenegrans have really good ball control.

The few times Capello has played two out and out wingers the central midfielders always sit far too deep. Seems he doesn't like more than four players attacking at any one time :/

Wales game isn't too bad, shame that we are relying on Gareth Bale to do everything. The game is pretty much end to end though and 3 goals already.
2 yellow cards(no red) for same player in scotland game. Villa scored a penalty as well.
2043: Penalty for Spain! Sergio Ramos's shot strikes the arm of Steven Whittaker and the referee points to the spot. Whittaker is booked, seemingly for a second time, but the defender is not shown a red card.

Seriously so they haven't smashed a few past them,but they have created some chances. Give them a chance they'll grab a goal

He's slow, can't pass, can't shoot, can't tackle...
honestly why on earth is he being chosen?
I'd rather Wilshire in there any day. Even if it means gerrard sits and wilshire goes forward
How slow is he?
I couldnt tell you, he hasnt made any attempt to win a single 50-50 ball all half, or run with the ball, or track back, or get into space.
He is a complete donkey.
As for this playing wingers on the wrong side nonsense, yeah brilliant if you have wide players with the ability of say a Ronaldo, or a Pires, not so great if you dont, get them on the right sides, and we might actually see not only some crosses, but some passes actually find their intended targets.
As for Crouch, yet again when faced with a physical center half he is bullied out the game completely and has been next to useless.

That was rubbish, they have lacked any imagination, Gerrard and Barry have been dire. Crouch and Rooney are having to play too deep. The Montenegrins look well organised and tough. Yet they clearly have better technical skills than our players.

The defence needs to play higher up the pitch, Gerrard and/or Barry need to play further forward and support the strikers, the two wingers need to learn how to cross once they've beaten their man, Crouch needs to learn how to head the ball down, Rooney needs to learn how to play football again and Capello should ask the Indians how to organise his team because they've done a better job organising the Commonwealth games :/
