Classic case of ...........
 

Playing our best TEAM instead of our best Players!!

England are a TEAM now, against Russia, - devoid of the best Players ... but just goes to show that we can have Englands 11 BEST Players playing, but they are not a TEAM!

:thumb:

Do agree to some extent. No place for Lampard in that team and wouldn't play him in the England team again, ever. Not missed Beckham or Rooney in the last 2 games and again no place for Lennon even though he is a great player.

That team tonight is our best team even though I can't stand seeing Heskey back in the team, he does feed Owen goals and thats what we need.

Gareth Barry was SUPERB and everything Lampard isn't when he plays!

Rooney and Becks will be on the $hitter now :D

Oh and Lampard and....

GB ran that midfield. His passing was almost faultless as was his defensive covering. Wait until you see what Ashley Young can do ;)
We all know that if Lampard was fit, McClaren wouldn't had had the balls to drop him. Will he have them to leave him and Hargreaves out for the next game?

Was 'inspirational Stevie G' playing tonight?

Yep. I saw him boss the midflield, along with a good performance by G. Barry.

Next. :Whatever_

.....and Gary Neville and Hargreaves

Doesnt look like Carrick will be getting in that side any time soon either:eek:

I doubt Rooney is troubled as he is a player who goes well with Owen:)

Micah Richards and Gareth Barry have been the best two players in the last two games.

Will be a joke if Neville gets back in that team... either of them!

Well done Eng-er-land. :)

(I'm in a good mood ! ;) )

Andy Mc

Man Utd fan are you?

Owen is now 14 goals from 14 starts with Heskey. Rooney can do better can he? :cuckoo:

Rooney is a match winner .... difficult to leave him out if fit.

Lampard - overated

Beckham - finished

Carrick - who?

Hargreaves - good substitute for Barry

Neville brothers - end of

It was stark for all to see that you can play players who are not the best in the country, but, who play as a team and gel ..... and who can beat an excellent team like Russia!

To score 3 goals against a team who came to defend and with the defensive qualities of russia should not be under-estimated

Owen doesn't go well with Rooney, he needs a player like Heskey and Crouch.
Rooney doesn't score for England, so shouldn't get in the side

And Downing? Boot boy maybe? :lol1:

No Rent Boy :lol1:
