LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Sturridge seems to be playing a support-striker role tonight for Welbeck.I like that, it's working well, instead of him playing with his back to goal he can dribble around and find space. That could be crucial in using him & Torres together next season.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 No offense, but I got bored with the match, especially with England... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 This long ball football is fucking horrible. Danny's shot was brilliant and so unlucky not to have gone in but we don't deserve to be winning. The last 5 minutes has been better but these long balls have to stop, it's crap. H/T 0-0 Crap.

H/T 0-0 Crap.Looks like Capello's been influencing Stuart.. This side's good enough to play their way through the Ukraine team. Such a shame. Muamba or Cleverly should come on for Mancienne and Rodwell should be put in DM so the sub can play some quality passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Albrighton should replace Mancienne, Rodwell then hold and i think Delfouneso should come on for Rose. Rose has not played all season except the last 3 or 4 games and yids used him at LB. Delfouneso and Albrighton have experience and are good players, especially Albrighton whom i rate very highly i admit. This team misses McEachran and Wilshere in truth.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 True. Albrighton would give us some natural width in this 4-3-3. Rose was good in the game before this u21 tournament, so you're right about using Delfounso too, but I still think one of Cleverly or Muamba should be brought on to inspire some actual ball play in the midfield. Henderson's trying but even he's too busy trying to keep it organised.Surprised there's been no subs yet.. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) I've not even seen Henderson in this game, the game's just passing him by. Whatever Pearce decides to do, change must happen in 10 mins at the earliest because this really aint good. These Ukrainians are diving cunts too i might add.We've upped the tempo a bit now anyway, COME ON! Edited June 15, 2011 by OllieCFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Sinclair was a good choice but I'm still not convinced about Lansbury. Haven't seen much of him to be fair though.. We're getting closer, Sinclair's made an instant impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 All those players and he brings on Sinclair and Lansbury. I don't know Lansbury but there are more proven players there than him. The last 15 minutes have been much better but we need to score soon because the time aint on our side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Well we'll have to win against the Czechs to qualify, pretty much how we do everything = the hard bloody way. Must admit, i'm impressed with Lansbury, looks really good since he came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 no one played better than Sturridge ....Cant understand criticisms of Mancienne ...thought he was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Disappointed with the tactics of this game. We should've been more attacking against Ukraine.Rose must be dropped for the next game. Cleverly & Albrighton should start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 2nd half was good, only the goal missing but can't fault the effort. Mancienne was ok too in the 2nd half, the worst player on the pitch by a mile was £21m boy Henderson. We need to win the last game, we need to attack and we need to pick the right team.Albrighton should start, Delfouneso should start and maybe start Lansbury with probably Muamba holding. I think it needs a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 So is it saturday or sunday the next game?, either way it's a must win situation. Get Henderson off please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Great names on the paper, favorites and do everything good except the one thing they should, and in the end you end up disappointed. Serbia and England... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Sunday 7:45 both games. I like this situation tho because it really gets you up for it. Win or bust, love it Just like the fucking world cup, 1-1, 0-0 then needed to beat Slovenia and just about managed it. Deja Vu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Switzerland & Belarus qualify for the semi-final of the Euro'12 Championships!Denmark have amazingly not qualified after losing 3-1 to Iceland. Denmark, Iceland & Belarus all ended on 3 points. Iceland and Belarus both finished level on Goal Difference, Goals Scored and Goals Against, but went through on superior goal difference from the group matches played between the teams in question (Belarus +1, Iceland 0, Denmark -1).

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Whoops, almost missed the game. 38 minutes gone & no goals yet..FieldingWalker - Jones - Smalling - BertrandMuamba - HendersonCleverlySturridge - Welbeck - SinclairThat's what it looks like to me at the moment. Muamba & Henderson look to be playing a holding role with Cleverly the most advanced of the 2. Spain are up 2-0 vs Ukraine too. Goals from Mata & Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
