Yippeeee - Eriksson is quitting. Bad news is

[snoopy1239]

He played there before and it worked a treat.

This is what friendlies should be used for, rather than just making 10 subs at half time.

[SKIPPYSKIP]

he doesn't give us nothing, watch the last match when he go the ball went forward and then tried to go back because he was lost and didn't know whart to do.

Another stange decision Sven had made better holding players out there than Ledley King, any other manger wouldn't look twice at playing him, but it allows Sven to play Lamps Gerrard and Becks.

LOL

Skippy, Carrick is much better than Parker, the fact you picked James (ex-west ham, didn't leave in infamous circumstances) in front of Robinson (England's best keeper by a country mile, maybe in the top 4-5 of keepers in the world) says it all.

Remember, West Ham are Tottenhams nursery club and are excellent at developing players.

I admit i made a mistake in james lol a vbery bad one.

Carrick..... never in a milion years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

He goes missing in the big games, he's not the best tackler but must admit his passing with both feet is the .best I've seen in the premiership and of course he is another option if it meant play Carrick instead of Ledley King.

How must Carrick feel when the centre half is playing for england in his postion lolololol

[Nem]

He was injured so he couldn't be picked

[Triple X]

agreed skippy - he had one good game there ( i forget who it was against)

The very next game against decent opposition (again i forget who but someone will remid me) where he had no time on the ball, he looked out of his depth.  Not criticising King he is a great centre back, just not a holding midfielder.

Unfortunately England does not have an Ince, Keane, Vieira, makelele style player at the moment.  Parker is good but just not quite in that mould....tho would probably be a good shout.

Can we really not accommodate Becks, Gerrard, Lampard, and Cole in one midfield.  Cant we teach Gerrard and Lamps that when one goes forward the other hangs back etc....The great managers are the ones that can play a player in any position and get the most out of them.

I know i am biased but that is Wenger's greatest gift.  He turns ordinary players in to great players and great players into world class players.  Henry was a left sided winger, Toure was not a centreback, Lauren not a right back, etc etc.

P.S

Carrick better than parker you need new glasses, he wouldn't give us the bite we need in mildfield he is like a mouse.

NEMESIS

You should of gone to Specsavers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ironside]

i just got £5 on berti vogts @1000-1 moments before the rush on him started some bookies now have him at 2-1 favourite after recent comments by terry venables


ok maybe i am dreaming but it a nice dream

[SKIPPYSKIP]

Triple X Sven said he had tried to get Gerrard to play that holding role but he kept dissapearing driving forward, Lampard didn't cover him and left that hole exposed.

I hate Arsenal and Wenger but from a Football point of view would love to se Wenger take the role.

[jammer]

given that Sven broke the barrier of having a foreign manager, perhaps its time we made the move to including foreign players too

I mean if Ireland and Scotland can do it why not us in England!

I agree, but Carrick is a very good player.

[SKIPPYSKIP]

Nemesis do you were them sunglasses when you watch footy lol, you be telling me next Defoe is better than Owen

[Dewi_cool]

As A welshman I dont feel I should comment, but as a football supporter i'm goin to,

1)  you need a manager who has passion, how can you be passionate about the england team if not english?

2) England have a problem, not one person stands out - do you need two, one with the technical know how, the other with passion?

3) Stuart Pearce will provide the passion, who will provide the technichal know how?
