Reflections Wembley

england were rubbish , i am sorry but its a combination of a crap manager, clubs ruling over the national side and daft selections ... i mean seriously ..darren bent ??? take lamaprd for example hes brilliant when he plays for us we notice it when hes out , yet for engalnd you hardly notice hes playing thats got to be poor manangement ? our national side should have pissed that group easily with the talent we have, dont blame injuries! they were given a lifeline and didnt seem to be bothered

You've got to look at injuries to an extent because we seriously havent got anyone decent as cover for the first team. JT and Ferdinand out so we have what as cover? Campbell and Lescott - do me a favour. Lescott aint even that great at club level imo and Campbell's just living in the past. Crouch? Good enough? I hardly think so, I dont care what anyone else says he just aint good enough as a lone front man - and with the exception of the goal, he darent take a bloody shot on. And as much as I've always preferred Bridge to Cole defensively, Cole would've been a better option to have Wednesday night. No doubt about it, the 'big' players didn't perform but there's a reason they can all perform for their clubs and not for their country - and I don't believe all that bollocks about money motivating them. Lampard having missed a penalty previously, being booed everytime he pulls on his boots and knowing he'd get hung if he missed, still has the bottle to step up and take a penalty when we're 2-0 down - is that because he's motivated by money or because he'll put his arse on the line for England's sake? The reason they don't do the business for their country is down to shit tactics and a lack of leadership - bad enough they had to put up with McClaren Wednesday night, but when they really needed a decent captain to rally them, the vice captain went missing.

Agree about what said,about the other results being the issue which is why I dont blame Carson and think there was a friendly at the time there way.Thought we'd be through by then.The only thing we could take from that game as at least unlike last time we played them we looked like we knew what we were doing.The away game by god that was awlful

England were below par, and Wayne Bridge was absolutely awful.
