Apart from the obvious?

This looks almost exactly like a potent attacking side pulled completely out of shape to allow Rooney to play in a position he isn't even any good in.
Kane taking free kicks is complete bullshit.

Been watching man u all season and this is still one of the most boring games I've seen all year

Something common to spurs and england is almost total lack of ambition off the ball from the midfield. Really conservative in what theyll offer the man on the ball ito options.

Smalling has looked a total mess at every instance

Nice finish though.

Last 3 goals for England have all been scored by united players iirc

OG?
― Daithi Bowsie (darraghmac), Thursday, 2 June 2016 20:34 (eight years ago) link
aye, you can have that one.
still not totally convinced by smalling's worth as a player, but he has turned a little corner in my affections this season on account of his surprisingly squeaky voice and his oddly guileless twitter game: https://twitter.com/ChrisSmalling/status/722346925610168320

Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy were split far too wide with the captain thrust up between them like an eager wet dog plonking itself in an unwelcome lap
https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/jun/02/england-roy-hodgson-wayne-rooney-out-of-shape
This is surely, surely obvious to everyone apart from Rooney himself now. If he must start it has to be in place of Vardy.

The point about pulling Kane and Alli further apart is a good one. How many goals did that partnership lead to this season?
Obviously Alli is getting sent off in our disastrous final game, that much is a foregone conclusion.

Would be interesting to see kane in a two tbh
― Daithi Bowsie (darraghmac), Friday, 3 June 2016 15:41 (eight years ago) link
More interesting to see him in an xi tbh

“I don’t remember Roberto Martínez holding a major conference when he left Everton,” he complained.
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 29 June 2016 07:57 (seven years ago) link
can't believe he actually said this in 2013.
Hodgson said: “I defy anybody to come up with 240 names. I don’t think, quitefrankly, you would be able to come up with 30 or 40.

danny murphy - there should be something in place so ex-players can skip coaching badges, it's too much trouble with too many hurdles in the way. I could have passed my 'b' license at 14, i knew it all at 12".
― pandemic, Friday, 1 July 2016 16:56 (seven years ago) link
the same danny murphy who said england did really well in the group stages and that england would have no problem vs iceland or portugal.
― pandemic, Friday, 1 July 2016 16:57 (seven years ago) link
where did he say this?
― Number None, Friday, 1 July 2016 17:13 (seven years ago) link
Why would you even be sceptical of that?
― Matt DC, Friday, 1 July 2016 17:16 (seven years ago) link
I'm not sceptical. I'd just like the context
― Number None, Friday, 1 July 2016 17:19 (seven years ago) link
5live's tuesday night england post mortem which lasts about 2 1/2 hours but murphy is just on for the first hour. scary stuff. lots of stuff about the fa not knowing football, how they should invite him and waddle in to 'teach' them etc etc
― pandemic, Friday, 1 July 2016 17:35 (seven years ago) link
the final hour is danny mills, neil ashton, and henry winter. imagine that.

Jurgen Klinsmann is “in discussion with England” and possesses the “courage” to resurrect the nation’s football fortunes, according to former Germany team-mate Oliver Bierhoff.

glad to see that the fa are asking for fergie's input into who should be the next england manager after it worked out so well for utd.

nah gotta be big sam. feels so close now. it will be the funniest shit ever.
btw that story that the fa favours big sam because he'll "mentor a successor" seems like classic stupidity. why would you appoint your favoured choice but demand they make a plan for who comes after they inevitably get sacked?
