International Friendlies - 5/6 February *** Spoilers ***

[Azza]

Bale... 1-0


I'd be amazed if he's still at Spurs after the summer.

Henderson Wilshire Cleverly could be decent for a good few years

I like this, Ince and Zaha on the wings. Be an exciting midfield

 

[J-FRO]

Well if a penalty is taken properly the keeper should not be able to save it, penalties favor the taker not the keeper.

Well taking that into consideration then and coupling it with England's perceived woeful penalty taking capabilities, perhaps as a nation focusing on how good the keeping is as opposed to the penalty taking would inspire a bit of confidence into our penalty taking ability by instead putting the success in the hands of keepers rather than the failure of our penalty takers.

Except of course where our boys decide we should engage in an independent British space programme by sending it over the bar.

 

[Nate75]

Plenty of world class strikers can't score...

Yeah we need to see them in the PL first though, I saw Ince when he played for us, did little to nothing.

That was disgusting, Cole is getting bummed.

Oh of course, but they are being seen as prospects, and they can't be worse than Welbeck. I still prefer the idea of Theo Walcott as a striker, too many decision to be made on the wing for him, he has trouble

 

[Robbo]

I'd rather have Milner on the wing than Welbeck!

 

[Monkeymatt]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, why does Danny Welbeck continue to be picked ahead of Danny Sturridge? Sturridge is twice as good as Welbeck will ever be.

 

[Purdy]

Speaking of Milner, some ****ing how he got man of the match at the City game, I get in the stadium they have to announce a City player but surely it was David Silva for looking the only remotely decent person with the ball or Aguero with the fluke

Injured, I think Sturridge would have started.

 

[maun]

I think we settled down after 15mins, and overall was a good half for us.

Welbecks needs to come off though imo

 

[Stewy]

Not actually a bad game of football to be fair.

 

[Shamikebab]

Still, nice to see Welbeck isn't just **** for United. At least he sometimes scores for England.

 

[shipinabottle]

Enjoyed watching that half of football, been a long time since I last said that about an England game.

 

[Stewy]

After watching Welbeck for 45 minutes I now have to listen to Chiles navigate the half time discussion with insight like 'I'm bored of seeing handballs this season'. Dear. God.

 

[mmj_uk]

Typical England performance really, once we took the lead we seemed to stop playing and are lucky to still be in front.. how Neymar missed the penalty follow up and chance from Oscar I'll never know, do they have bigger goals in Brazil?

 

[meh?]

The Ox for Welbeck job done.

 

[Heisenberg]

Chiles is the reason i hate football on ITV. Absolutely terrible

 

[Azza]

Who was it before that mentioned the Wembley atmosphere? Didn't there used to be a band or at least a trumpet?
