Tell me, given he has no intention of leading us into the World Cup, what exactly is the point in keeping Capello in charge through to the European Championship finals? Where is his motivation to build a team to win a World Cup exactly? He isn't English so he doesn't give a damn about the nation and, given he will not be around, why will he put the emphasis on youth?
I backed the selection of Davies because I like the guy. He is passionate. He gets stuck in. he fights for the shirt. And he is not without ability. But he is 33!
Tell me, as well as he played tonight, where is the point in "re-appointing" Ferdinand as captain? He may be around for Capello's big farewell but what chance is there of him leading us to the next World Cup? Virtually zero I would say.
But never mind the dubious personel, what is most worrying is Capello's utter lack of a plan B. Remember all that talk of 4-5-1 and 4-3-3 at the last World Cup? Remember the campaign to get Gerrard playing higher up the pitch? Capello doesn't! Gerrard sat as deep as Barry through-out the first half and only really started to get forward in the last 15 minutes.
When it clearly was not working, Capello had the chance to change things. But what did he do? Davies for Crouch - like for like; and Wright-Phillips for Young. The only difference was that we were ten inches shorter as a team after the substitutions!
Tell me, what is the point of having a manager if that is the best he can come up with? Any thought of taking off Crouch for a midfielder and moving Gerrard forward? Nope.
Let's jettison Capello now. Make Pearce the "coach" and ask 'Arry to manage the team on a part time basis. We couldn't do any worse!
can we have a full match report and player ratings please
ReplyDeleteTell me, why aren't you managing a football team?
ReplyDeleteOh, that's right, you're a clueless, ignorant, keyboard warrior. Give it a rest.
Is that a piss take Fred?
ReplyDeleteHart 6 (nothing to do! Green could have been in goal!); G. Johnson 4 (distribution awful!) A.Cole 6 (crossing awful) Ferdinand 7 (looked calm and composed) Lescott 6 (did nothing wrong) A Johnson 6 (good first half, went missing in the second) Barry 4 (kept giving the ball away) Gerrard 5 (played well but in the wrong area of the pitch!) Young 5 (disappointing final ball) Rooney 4 (needs a game against West Ham to play him back into form!) Crouch 5
Tell me Gav, why aren't you running your own blog? Oh, that's right, nobody would read it!
ReplyDeleteNo Fanny-o, because I don't have personality issues like your good self. Nighty night x
ReplyDeleteI think I nailed it actually. Night night. Try not to dream about me, you know your mum gets fed up with changing the sheets.
ReplyDeleteWhy didnt my comment show up? whats up with this place??
ReplyDeletenot much of a blog if it's being censored?
ReplyDelete23:05 - Nobody reads yours except stani! Oh, please don't cite your doctored 'hit counter' as evidence - that's just there as it's the only thing in your life that strokes your ego!!!
ReplyDeleteErm... You must read it too to know who Stani is.. I know 2 people is only one more than one, but it is also double one. Oh yeah, plus me, that makes three of us. Pessimists may say only two more than first thought, but it's still three times as many readers!
ReplyDeletePlus you're a mug.

ReplyDeleteI left a comment here this morning that never got posted.
ReplyDeleteDon't think so "Sav". I posted a comment from "Sav". Check.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that it got lost somewhere. I surely didn't mean that have censored it. It was a very innocent comment in any case.
ReplyDeleteI did post a comment from you. Hang on, I will check.
