Watching England Turns Me Into The Incredible Hulk

Jeez they are so bloody frustrating to watch, I just end up shouting at the telly and I only watched the second half tonight. Even when United are losing (which lets face it isn't often :fishing: ) i'm normally calm.

Best word to sum them up is clueless. None of the players know what to do with the ball! All of the time it's 30 yards forwards, 50 yards backwards. It's as if they are apprentices learning the trade.

Anybody know where I can get some hair implants? :angry:

boring is the word. but as someone else already mentioned, most of those players will have their minds on coming domestic matches.

I don't know if we'll see an exciting England performance for a few months because I reckon the players have switched off for these international games, knowing there's nothing important to look forward to in the summer.

They're playing this system, 4-2-3-1. None of the players have played that before and it leaves Rooney, who is a key player, playing out of position. They're all used to 4-4-2 so he must play that system, its international, they dont have time to work on new formations.

:lol: Liking the new sig.

I don't think it's the problem of the players worrying about getting injured etc and meaningless friendlies. They have been playing like this for years now. They just look stumped when they get the ball. Even the basics of short passing and crossing they couldn't get right tonight. Downing, Ashley Cole and Beckham...terrible crosses in the second half.

..and just for Skidaddle...England never play badly when I watch them in the comfort of my bedroom. ;)

:rofl: A strange thing to think about.

The stadium was deadly quiet at one point Norwich, I thought it was Wembley. It was funny the England fans not joining in with the mexican wave though and the French booing.

The thing that gets me is that most of these players play excently for the club week in week out. Why not at international level? Maybe monty is right, they cant learn a new formation in a short while of training and expect to be great at it. Rooney shouldnt be a lone striker

Why be so defensive also, its like we are scared. We should be positive, looking to win a match and score alot of goals. It just negativity to me.

On paper we can be one of best teams in the world but we just aint clickin. I hope Caps can find a way to make it happen becase i truly believe if he can then we have a great chance of winning anything
