Has he got a plan lads?
I like the eggy one the best

Alan in a partridge pear tree would do a better job than this fucking owl..
He's fucking brainless la
>plebs like you understanding the system
Funny how every guy in the pub thinks he can do a better job than a professional with a proven track record.
>>68361913
>a proven track record.
kek
>>68361913
>track record
list the things he's won
i'll wait
I actually thought lallana played well. Kane was shit why he's taking our set pieces is beyond me. Sterling is also terrible but why Milner was brought on just to chase the ball like a terrier was retarded.
>>68361913
We didn't make it our the groups in the WC.. Proven nutter is all he is.
Also never stepped foot in a pub but spent the last 21 years actually playing the sport.. Academy level and all so I would like to think I know my stuff when it comes to the sport.
>>68361945
its standard shit manager thinking "welp its the last 10 minutes, better tighten up"
instead of actually pursuing the game for the other 80 and making sure you have a two goal lead
he is so conservative its ridiculous, no wonder he couldnt get any club jobs after liverpool
>>68361925
>>68361939
Only the LMA Manager of the Year Award.
>>68361988
The team sheet would deny your claim but you're right about the last ten minutes
>>68362026
it was still only one upfront in a team with 3 top level strikers combined with a relatively slow midfield
against russia, who are championship level, its just so obvious that two strikers are needed
>>68361864
>leaves Townsend at home
Good.
>leaves the lad who drinks all the water at home
He's overrated.
>leaves Vardy on bench
Vardy should have come on.
>starts Lallana
Lallana was actually pretty good, even though he can't finish for shit.
>Kane is taking corners
I don't understand this either, he's been terrible at corners in friendlies as well.
>brings wilshere on for arguably the best player on the night
Rooney was impressive, but he did look tired as fuck by then.
I think the biggest mistake was Milner. Him losing possession was what invited pressure, leading to the goal. Will probably find he wasn't tracking back either.
>>68362126
Townsend is a good winger and consistent, we need him for the burst of pace and brashness out wide.
Danny drinkwater was a key player to Leicesters league triumph, it's clear to see he has something.
Rooney did not look tired as fuck, that's the look of someone playing in humid weather.
Lallana was average with a few good spells here an there.
>builds wall
>>68364104
>Townsend is a good winger and consistent, we need him for the burst of pace and brashness out wide.
Stopped reading there.
Wilshere is good.
>>68361864
crashing this plane
>>68364154
Make a point at why you don't think he is a good player.
>bring four strikers to the tournament
>revert back to a 1 striker formation
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>68361864
>I know better than a professional manager with 20+ years experience
want to know how I know you're retarded?
>>68364154
Are you stupid, having a winger who attacks the defence instead of trying to play it around them helps the attack more.
>>68364559
I don't think I know better, refer to >>68361970 please.
>>68364452
>>68364606
Because he brings nothing to the table that you don't already get with Sterling.
Hell, why not bring Walcott if you want yet another pacy winger in the squad?
>>68364895
Townsend brings blooters
>>68364895
Sterling tries to dance his way through a game and Walcott tries to get in behind the defence.
Townsend attacks the defence, he gets at them and forces play. Do you watch the EPL or even the games when Townsend plays?
>literally fields 10 nig-nogs and Rppmey
Kek
>>68365110
And Kane. And Dier. And Lallana. And Cahill. And Hart.
Literally over half the team was white.
>>68361884
stohbewwy. dey tastle like stohbewwy
>>68365107
What does "attacks the defence" even mean?
>>68362126
This.
Bringing on Milner was the mistake. Should have been Vardy or Rashford to hit them on the counter with pace.
>>68364478
It's actually 5 strikers if you class Rooney as one.
>Select and field Spurs players
>Surprised when they choke
England pls
>>68365107
But he's fucking terrible at beating defenders, every time I've seen him try its some shitty step overs before losing possession. His quality is running into space and crossing, with the very rare blooter.
>>68365262
He gets on the balls and attempts to take them on or draw in fouls, either ends up with a free kick to us or a defensive error on their part. It's a term used quite abit here, at least from what I have experienced
>>68365604
But Sterling can do exactly that (he's one of the most fouled players in the league) and at a level that's higher than Townsend. It's just a matter of coaching to get him to play like this
>>68365494
He forces defenders into errors and tackles that most likely lead to fouls, he may fumble the odd step over but who doesn't?
He makes sure he is forcing the defenders to play their hand early, he wants to either go through or around you with the ball. Sterling runs like a T-Rex and fails with the majority of his technical play at international level.
>>68362126
Townsend and his pace would have been a big help in that match
>>68365965
But the majority of the times he is fouled the ball is nowhere near the goal, it's either 10/15 yards from the half way line or when he is hugging the touch line.
>>68365965
Sterling earns those fouls mostly 10/15 yards from the halfway line in each half and when he is essentially hugging the halfway line. Townsend makes sure he's doing it in positions that his team can exploit and use to their advantage.
>>68366042
>>68366162
I got so paranoid that I failed to post, using my phone.. I look like such a pled right now
it's like Wally 2.0
what I don't understand is bringing subs on who tighten up the game. surely you want impact subs who can bring flair and speed as the opposition tire?
>>68366399
>it's like Wally 2.0
>Woy qualified for Euros winning every match
>Wally failed to qualify for Euros
Americans are so dumb.
>>68366802
It's the England way, go 1-0 up then try to defend for the rest of the match.
>>68366908
it just seems counter-productive. Armchair-managing from me, but I'd play 4-4-2 with Dier and Wilshere in the middle for example, then bring Alli on for Dier in the second half to open the game up
England played well to he fair.
All this abe and hatred is not fair really lads.
Why on earth is everyone obsessed with England.
Even the Irish do it...muh premier league lol england list I love Stevie G haha Stevie G lost
>>68367113
I think they all take English gloating literally, when we talk about how great England is and gonna win the tournaments etc it is very much ironic and deliberately hyperbolic.
Like this pic for example
Is the Townsend defender in here a Newcastle fan? Just wondering.
>>68361864
is it possible to bring townsend in if somebody gets injured
>>68367348
I know mate
Lads her spend more time arguing over the england line up and sqaud than they so about Ireland. They don't even realise they do it.
Two lads in work proper arguing over drinky. Spend two mins talking about Ireland and twenty about England
>b b but im gona laugh when they lose.....I swear
>>68367543
Well England is the dominant sporting/cultural force in the isles so it makes sense.
I was thinking more continentals and Americans having no sense of irony, and being needlessly bitter.
>>68367543
Irish rugby fans aren't like that, but they are annoyingly chippy
>we beat France, they always overperform in World Cups
>only the All Blacks stand in our way of winning the Worldc Up
>t-the quarters were the aim
>L-los Pumas are the next New Zealand
>>68367647
Mate do you really expect Americans to understand banter? Bit naive there lad
>>68367869
Irish ruby fans are the definition of the bandwagon. Just can't get behind them due to this.
It's pathetic
>>68362126
>Lallana was actually pretty good, even though he can't finish for shit.
His chances were the clearest and he had multiple of them and missed them all. His not international standard, has never played well for England and he should be dropped for Wales.
But this is Woy, playing Rooney in midfield was a masterstroke, it felt wrong when we were able to control possession in midfield because of him so Woy does get some things right, its just on a 6:1 ratio; why can't coaches just go with the consensus for a change, give it a try. I'd of even prefered Walcott to Lallana, least he can finish.

HAHAHAHA!
>play pre-tournament friendlies with no wingers
>suddenly decide to play with wingers against Russia
>oops lol I only took one in the squad
>>68367965
Yep. As a Wales fan I actually your team, there are plenty good players and when they ignore Joe they play some attractive rugby, but the fans piss me off a lot. It's like r/rugbyunion coalesced into one fanbase
We are going to lose to Wales, I can just feel it.
I shall then have to commit sudoku.
>>68368164
*actually like
>>68364895
Are you fucking kidding me? Townsend is super direct and can actually score a goal. Sterling has just been le pacy dribble with no end product man for England
>>68361864
Lallana is good
People are saying we played well, but in retrospect this is going to look like a shit result, as Russia are the worst team in the group by a distance.
>>68361864
>Townsend
Love to see the reaction if he actually played fucking Townshit in a Euros
>>68368164
It's mostly women having the craic and laughing hahahahahahha I don't even know the rules cmon Ireland woo these players are proper men u like "soccer" players wimps
>>68368207
Yeah, then draw against Slovakia. We're just not cut out for this game anymore lads, the game is rigged.
As soon as the Chinese swarm snooker we'll only have Darts left.
>>68362126
I agree with every part of this. Biggest mistake was not bringing Vardy on around 60th minute when their already slow defence was tired
>>68368475
>we'll only have Darts left
EBEJ will bring rugby home, and there's always EBEH and EBTH
not to mention EBTF and EBAJ
>>68368234
Thank you, someone who sees it to!
>>68368296
This
It's starting to sink in that Russia are trash
Surely heads will roll if Wales beat us and we don't come top of the group?
>>68368296
when you play with massive pace you simply have to win against 50 year olds who are missing their 2 best players
>>68368772
you'll pull a heroic victory against Slovakia same as vs Slovenia in 2010 then get a good team and go out
>>68368772
maybe, but I'd look forward to the wendyball equivalent of this frog
>>68369164
why is uruguay brown
>>68369318
they are pretty brown
Woy is obviously pro brexit, and prolly has some pundit job lined up with sky for the final.
>>68361864
good, townsend is brainless(no more thank barkley though)
bad, should be there
bad, better than sterling
good, lallana was good - worked well with walker
bad, seriously wtf?
meh, rooney was tiring and wilshere did well enough
I have a feeling Ramsey is gonna go god mode again when we play Wales.
Imagine our team vs god mode Ramsey, we'd get absolutely annihilated.
>>68361864
Woy never plans anything, I've given up on his management, hope we get Pardew in next..
>>68370360
Roy is building for the future :^)
>>68370407
That's cool but his management is small club mentality :(
>>68361864
Woy "the owl" Hodgson
>>68372676
I know. Help.
>>68365107
Sterling really is >that kid
He just made a career out of it
>>68372947
Fuck, sides gone.
>>68370322
Ramsey is shit m8
Vardi is scoring from all over the field in PL. Woy leaves him on the bench.
Only the English lel.
>>68372947
The Somalians on the playground thinking they will play for Madrid imitating Nani's style of play.
