snakehips 0 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 SWP. I must have forgotten how many times he created something from all the opportunities he had in the first half - please remind me As far as I am concerned, SWP flattered to deceive. There is no doubt he was the main outlet in the first half - obviously the English plan from the start - but what did he do when given the opportunities??????? NOTHING of any note that I can think of. Please remind me. For my money, both SWP and Luke Young looked like fish out of water and this was against poor opposition. Mind you, the rest of the team were no better. Apart from Hargreaves, of course! Who tried to sign him? Was it Boro? I bet whoever it was, the supporters are over the moon that he didn't come.

You cold say I was in a slightly better mood at half-time than I was at full-time. In fairness to Northern Ireland though, they deserved it.

BigAl 0 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Eriksson is trying to fit in too many players, Lampard, Gerard, Beckham at the expense of the team, you have to play in your natural position and if that means leaving out a big name so be it.

As soon as Cole came on he played in two dangerous crosses which both were goalscoring chances. Did SWP create one chance whatsoever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Wright Phillips had a mare last night like. Just one of those games for him, couldn't do nowt right. On a more serious note, I wish the BBC would get rid of his dad who's an irritating non-coherent wanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say he was pretty incoherent. As for Wright-Phillips, he had a mare but I still think Sven took the easy option in bringing him off and Leaving Lampard, Beckham and Gerrard on. By the time he did change things formation wise we were one-nil down and it was too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be the new 'forward letting the team down by playing a system around him'.....I have forseen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember when we played Argentina in the WC back in '98? Lineker, Hansen & Wright were all stood in the stands summarising rather than inside a studio. Cue Ian Wright turning round and hurling a shed-load of abuse to the Argie fans below him.... Never again did the summarising take place outside of a studio!

ticaL 0 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Unproffesionalism is surely the best thing for pundits. Otherwise you get top3 tonge arsing bummers like Andy Gray...viva la resistance, Redknapp, Dowie and Ian Wright !!! Hargreaves is dreadful, the problem is he will play again with Sven as manager. 4-4-2 should be played no matter what. Even without Owen, we could of used Defoe or Heskey FFS! Beckham can't play DM, it should be Parker or Gerrard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 (edited) Ian Wright is a twat like. Excellent centre forward, but a wanker on and off the pitch. There was a few on the SMB saying they admired his honesty and he was a breath of fresh air to punditry. No he's not, he's an arse of the highest order who gets away with it for some reason. What I always hated about Wrighty was the way he would bring the race card into every debate. I know that when he started playing football racism was still ripe in football, but Wrighty has spent his career using it as an excuse for his wankerish behaviour. A lot of good work has been put in to kick racism out of football, and imo Wrighty has done more to hinder it than help it with his outburts.

I would also add that perhap having his adopted son in the side prevented him fro msaying what he really thought about Sven and his tactics.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Gerrard isn't a DM ffs. 30293[/snapback] But he can play that role for the good of the team even if he has to sacrifice something of his natural game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
