England v Poland - Official Match Thread - WQC

[yxee]

So refreshing to see no Terry, Rio, Cole (decent), Johnson, Lampard, (Downing or similar)

just you wait, Milner will be on by the 65th minute

If Sturridge passed the ball we might score

I was thinking this too. I know he's a striker but he almost always goes for a shot even when it isn't on.

Rooney walking off the pitch in South Africa doesn't seem so long ago.

But at the moment it's light years away.

With baines, Carrick and Townsend we look so much more balanced and dangerous. Hope they retain positions for the World Cup. Score does not reflect our dominance and wellbeck and sturridge need to be more clinical

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Sensational attacking game, well done Roy.

 

[Baron Pepperpot]

Whatever happens, Hodgson has got these kids playing. As I said, even if we don't make it through, he is the right manager.

I'm still not 100% about carrick for some reason. Always appears to flatter to deceive

great last 20 from England, really enjoying it.

 

[Husty]

If Welbeck and Sturridge could take their chances we'd be looking at a cricket score at half time.

 

[Surf's Up]

Smalling worries me

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

Smalling worries me

It does feel like a centre back playing full back. He's been caught too central a few times

I like how Roy uses horses for courses. Carrick's passing is outstanding but he's not the goal scoring threat Lampard is

 

[northstandsteve]

sloppy start

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Danny wellbeck or mark Farrington.....discuss!

 

[Simster]

Smalling worries me

Cahill worries me more.

 

[northstandsteve]

very Albionesque against Forest

 

[Blackadder]

very Albionesque against Forest

I was just thinking the same...

 

[Guinness Boy]

Poland have had a rocket up their arse. Not literally unfortunately

 

[Northstander]

Woy looks like the cat with the kweam

 

[Buckley's Mad Eye]

Wellbeck is having a mare.
