How anyone can say Loldado deserves a place ahead of Torres baffles me.

Such a poor footballer.

Negredo has impressed me though. Slow as hell but he's much better with the ball at his feet.

@ Ganso Who would you start at CF for Brazil?

by Ganso Sat May 26, 2012 5:55 pm

Damiao without a doubt,the guy has been playing well for us.Then Luis Fabiano.Hulk,Neymar and Damiao are musts upfront

lol, no one gives a shit about england, i see.

by Valkyrja Sat May 26, 2012 8:59 pm

Every time Lucas had the ball he had 3 men on him. He wasn't bad, but this wasn't his day.

by Mr Nick09 Sat May 26, 2012 9:01 pm

yeah maybe not ready for Madrid

by Kingofeverythingclassy Sat May 26, 2012 9:07 pm

Horrid Result for Holland. 2 Gifted Goals after leading 1-0 up. VDV doing a bad hand-ball & then just a 93 rd minute goal.

BVM is horrible. Destroying Oranje's chances by picking bad players. Dropped Anita was by far Ajax's best player this season.

Did not call Clasie voted best Dutch talent in Eredivisie & 2nd best footballer behind Vertonghen

Did not call Van Rhijn who had Nani/Valencia in his pocket & was brilliant for Ajax when VDW was out

by biggiejay Sat May 26, 2012 9:10 pm

Yeah I personally don't think Lucas is ready for a big club like Real Madrid. He's a great player but still needs to develop a bit more, he has a bad habit of playing with his head down.

by Mr Nick09 Sat May 26, 2012 9:13 pm

Let's hope Mourinho saw he wasnt ready, i love the talent but i have also seen way too many alarming signs.

England is playing the most boring game I've seen.

by Adit Sat May 26, 2012 9:27 pm

England is getting owned by Norway.

The underdog football england is playing is a disgrace btw.

by Jay29 Sat May 26, 2012 9:33 pm

The football is poor but "getting owned" is an exaggeration of what's actually happening. Norway have kept the ball well but haven't troubled us that much. We haven't used the ball and haven't created much either, but have defended reasonably well at the very least.

Sure England are no possession sides, but they couldnt even have few good spells with the ball . England were totaly out classed in the midfield by Norway but defended well. Both team created very little but the football England played with all the talent they have just made me lol

Adit expects WC final commitment and gameplay from players in a pre tournament friendly Laughing

Seems like you have big expectation from Hodgson in Actual tournament..

by Jay29 Sat May 26, 2012 9:49 pm

I thought Gerrard used the ball well and Parker defended well. They weren't helped by the lack of options in front of them. Both wingers played alongside them instead of ahead of them, while Young played alongside Carroll instead of behind him. Even when we made changes in stayed that way. That's something Hodgson has to change.

That flat bank of four in midfield did help defensively, but the front two cannot stay so disconnected from it otherwise we'll never keep the ball.

by Lex Sat May 26, 2012 9:52 pm

Hodgson unbeaten in international games with England

by Lex Sat May 26, 2012 9:55 pm

I'm on it now! Very Happy

by Art Morte Sat May 26, 2012 9:56 pm

England were dreadful when they had Gerrard, Milner, Parker and Barry on the field. There was no movement off the ball whatsoever! England played much better in the final 20 minutes when they brought Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcott on. Young players who actually want to run to create spaces and make themselves available for passes.

If England go to the Euros starting Parker, Gerrard and Lampard it's going to be just awful.
