England vs Italy (2 Viewers)

[Otis]

Commenatators concentrating too much on what we need to do to stop Italy getting into the dangerous positions on their right.

Err, If they were defending they can't get forwards. Instead of trying to think of ways of stopping Italy, we need to give the Italians something to think about and push them back by concentrating on our attacking play.


We all know the defence is England's weakness. We are not going to win games with t his defence. We are going to win through our attacking play.
We need to close down Pirlo more, but also try and push forwards at every opportunity. Don't let them dictate play and get Baines more into the game at the other end of the pitch.

Baines has been almost non existent

Rooney only done one decent thing, but because it was an assist I'm sure the rest of his game will go unnoticed by many

if he does another and we win he'll surely be man of the match won't he?

 

[sw88]

Gary Lewin has dislocated his ankle!

That'd keep most footballers out for months! Wonder how long he'll make himself unavailable for

 

[wingy]

was that offside where they hit the post just before halftime??

Probably.

 

[sw88]

Oh no! Henry just said 'I can see James Milner coming on' (in the second half,not right now).

That's the last thing we need!

Better 1st half than I expected. Need to tighten up a bit at the back though.
With the result earlier I'd take the draw now if it was offered.

 

[wingy]

We are shocking out wide ,just could see that coming ,we had them penned in there box and wham.

 

[Otis]

Exactly the same thing down our left hand side.

Why wasn't this addressed at half time?

We will take a draw now!!

 

[wingy]

Get Lallana on!!!

 

[sw88]

Who the fook was marking him? Baines taken on too easily too

 

[wingy]

Hard luck rooney

 

[sw88]

No where near. Didn't even deserve the 'oooooooh'

 

[SkyBlueHomer]

We will take a draw now!!

Sorry, my bad. I'll take blame for that goal.
Nothing to do our left side....

 

[Otis]

Every Italian chance is coming down our left. If we could have just sorted that out. Our attacking play is good but we need to push them back more.

 

[sw88]

Fooking 'ell Wayne! I know I'm not your biggest fan, but even I wanted you to put that one away!

 

[SkyBlueHomer]

Rooney should have buried that chance

 

[sw88]

Sterling has cramp, and we have no physio. So up steps two Italian players to assist :laugh:

 

[wingy]

We're way too Narrow.

 

[6 Generations]

We'll be fine now ! Italy have just introduced an 'Immobile' striker.

 

[sw88]

What a shit corner!

 

[sw88]

This keepers palmed everything that's come his way tonight. Can't say we haven't created chances. Dare say that if there was a weaker keeper in goal some of them may have gone in

 

[sw88]

Sturridge off? Presume he's carrying a knock

 

[Otis]

Johnson has to be the worst player of the tournament so far.

Awful.

 

[Otis]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't professional players supposed to be able to shoot straight?

 

[Otis]

Okay, forget about the first match. That doesn't count. Unimportant.

Just win the next 2 and we'll be fine.

 

[Otis]

Everyone else gone to bed?

 

[wingy]

We're shit and we know we are.

 

[wingy]

It's like Eurovision ,no one likes us .

 

[stupot07]

Italy had the know how, they shut up shop after balotelli's goal. Pirlo is class.

Oh well, wasn't expecting to win.

We're shit and we know we are.

Just two simple things though, Wingy.

All we needed to do was to close Pirlo down a bit and not just give him a stroll around the park and sort out that marking problem down the left. Pirlo is class but we failed to harry him at all.

The problem down the left killed us. Had we corrected that Italy hardly threatened.

 

[wingy]

What Bollocks.
