Rooney is being played out of position, he's not a striker never has been. Why Steve plays him up front with Crouch is beyond me, he needs to be playing just behind the strikers with the freedom to move forwards when a move presents itself. So not only do you have Wayne having a dip in form but you;ve got him playing out of position as well. It's the same with Gerrard, hes not being played how he's best either. Let's move onto Frank Lampard, he's exceptional for Chelsea surrounded by a team of 20mil+ players, but when has he played well for England, honeslty when? Ditch him or at least havehim on the bench. Then you have Michael Carrick, he's not an exceptional player to start with, he's good but nothing special, on Saturday he's was stuck in the middle of the pitch, whenever he got the ball he was passing it right away without moving, again Steve has it wrong. Now I understand why this is, it's so that he leaves Gerrard and Lampard free to do what they want (in theory) but then you've got a player who's almost not present, I'd much rather Lampard be taken out of the squad for someone else and Carrick given the freedom to move with the ball, to take it forwards. We need Beckham back, I've always said people won't realise how good he was until he's gone, we'll our long passing and crossing without Beckham in the squad is frankly abysmal, Beckham can cross the ball better than any other player since Bobbly Charlton. Finaly I'll move onto Peter Crouch, Crouch generally only scores against talentless teams, he can't do much imo. I don't rate him at all myself and never have. He's got no skill at all, he's just tall. If he was 6'4 he'd be a nobody.
Granted our goalkeeper was all flappy and couldnt catch a ball for ****, but that doesnt cover the rest of the teams performance. Its not all Stan's fault, the players aren't excactly doing their job very well
Great match, keeper was alot better, good keeper, good match overall. Should of won though 
Robbie Keane is really out of his prime now 
) but we never hear the end of the fact you won something once. What country gets another countries national football games live, as if they were their own? It didn't happen this time, but we've usually got to put up with Motty et al, going on about 1966, and "we" this, and "we" that, and then only getting highlights of our own game later on that night. The BBC need to realise they're the British Broadcasting Corporation, not the English Broadcasting Corporation. Its bound to grate.
Wow! They've been watching us... 
, fag ass ESPN ftl...👎
