Southgate to Allardyce: "the great thing was that we didn't see a single long ball all night, Sam"

I saw less than 5 minutes of the game and during that period I saw whoever was England right back hoof it half the length of the pitch.

4 articles to have turned up so far, 2 of which diss a guy who i thought was decent. Jesus, what the fuck is wrong with the press? Destined for failure from his first start?

Wilshere was fine/good. England looked a bit ropey defensively first half, but then again that was against Denmark's First Team. Basically the England subs were of the same quality as English starting eleven whereas Denmark's subs were poorer than their starting eleven, hence England looked better second half. An over simplification probably, but roughly how I saw it. That destined for failure piece must be a joke right?

That was p much England's first team though? I mean I know Wilshere is new and Dawson was there and there is no absolute replacement for Heskey but the rest is the locked XI.

It's a piece lamenting the Wilshere hype just now because he's inevitably going to be knocked down when the media get bored of him. I might try and write a 'he's shit' one myself now.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 9 February 2011 22:32 (thirteen years ago) link
I meant that I don't think there is that much of a drop off between certain England first teamers and their back ups. At least not as big a drop off as there is for Denmark. So England's first team is slightly better then Denmark's, but England's squad as a whole is a lot better than Denmark's. At least on the basis of this one game.
But yeah Wilshere is almost certainly the real deal and fools be trippin'.

In other International news Gourcuff looked good tonight from the 50 or so mins I saw tonight. One exquisite through ball to Benzema (which he pulled wide). Brazil dude sent off for a De Jong on Alonso-esque high kick on aforementioned Benzema, so I couldn't be bothered to watch the rest of the game.

i dunno, just looked like the usual england cowardly messiah complex again. against france they stick andy carroll up by himself and expect... uhhh... something... but never support him in numbers. against denmark the defenders pass it to wilshere, who looks up and sees everyone standing around miles away like pillocks as the nation waits with baited breath. he has little option but to pass to a fullback, who if they're called glen johnson falls over and loses it. wash, rinse, repeat.

Hey Glen Johnson had an assist.......along with squandering possession a couple of dozen times admittedly, but look an assist!

The "destined for failure" report is actually a comment on how the media hype surrounding his first cap will have scribes sharpening their pens for him should he fail to become the Best Thing Ever at some unspecified point.

haw dogfucker redknapp has all the luck
he'll take them over for the summer pretending his arm has been twisted or patriotic duty etc etc
then if hes not a total failure he gets a huge contract for the world cup else he just goes back to tottenham and it gets seen as a temporary episode a la ferguson in 86

International manager is a part time job tbh and Arry has shown over the past few weeks he can do the Spurs job part time too.
