WELL LADS, what happened tonight?
I will tell you what.
The bloke in charge of England, who earns over 5 million pound a year has not got a clue! He has no plan B, and no idea whatsoever.
If your team try to pass the ball, it helps if it goes forward, not sideways and backwards.
Your captain, selected by your manager, must have something about him to get the lads going on the pitch and dig deep when things are not going our way. Beckham could not get the best out of anyone, he is useless. Give the captaincy to John Terry when he is back.
You want England to win World Cup folks? Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Get him in NOW.
To be fair Sheffield, I thought it WAS a freak result. The problem is he has panicked and tried a new stupid formation. We were lucky against Wales and absolutley ABYSMAL last night. I can't believe that he played a 4-5-1 AGAIN after Wales. Losing against Northern ireland is a disaster which we will do well to recover from.
However, Sven will NOT resign and he will NOT be sacked. You may hate this but it is fact. I would be very surprised if he went. So now what do we do?
Eriksson MUST devise is tactics to England's strengths. Get Beckham back on the right and Joe Cole on the left with Rooney and Owen up front (or maybe Defoe v Austria cos Rooney is suspended).
I would consider dropping Lampard who was useless last night. Gerrard wasn't much better but he should be in the starting line up imho.
Defence? Well let's pray that Gary Neville is fit again (what's up with him btw?). Rio Ferdinand needs a good slap and to be told he is lucky to play for England - it is not his God given right (arrogant t1t). And bring in Terry rather than Carragher.
