I will say I was concerned about our style of play and the rigid 4-4-2, I would love to believe that Gareth read my insightful post on this thread and decided to change to the 3-5-2 with pacy wingbacks that has served us so well...:moo:

Massive slice of humble pie here!! He's done a brilliant job and I admit I was wrong about his style of football.

Nah, he's part of the committee to pick Southgate. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/12016/10659183/graeme-le-saux-to-join-england-manager-selection-panel-sky-sources-understand Gus?

Sorry I thought this was a message board to discuss our opinions on football? Am I in the wrong place? I'm not basing this one one game last night, hence my comment about Rooney who didn't play, I am basing it on our last three qualifiers where we scraped past Malta, were lucky to get a draw...

I don't think I'm the only one: We have no creativity in the side and think that possession is going to win us games. We only have one form of attack and that is our full-backs trying to get forward and deliver crosses, but pick Sturridge to try and get on the end of them. We have Rooney in...

We were 2-0 up at 89 mins....and drew 2-2...can you imagine a decent team throwing away a two goal lead like that. We cannot keep the ball. Same old shit.

Nope!

Someone like Joachim Low, Aragones, Fernando Santos, Bert Van Mawijk, Marcello Lippi, Domaenech, Phil Scolari....... None of those played (m)any games for their national team and it didn't hurt them.

Which is why they went for Allerdyce and not an up and coming manager, it is a surefire way to ruin a CV for a younger manager. I would prefer someone like Warnock, he at least seems able to get more out of a team in a relatively short space of time, and I am sure he would prefer the stop-start...
