168 Gerrard goals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1D9RRML2As

Someone compiled a huge open play assist video but the FA have taken it down.

I try to avoid these videos nowadays, otherwise I'd spend the whole day GIFing his goals.

 

[Wilbur]

Hazard's been deathly quiet.

I don't see the point of bringing Rooney on, save to get some match fitness.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Welbeck off, Rooney on. C'mon Rooney, bring some fear to these Belgians!!!

 

[Dark Machine]

"Just fuckin' launch it!
You've gotta just fuckin' launch it!
Just fucking laaaaaunch it!
You've gotta just fuckin' launch it!"

"England, hoof the ball, England England hoof the ball!"

 

[Soi-Fong]

England is missing Wilshere...

 

[Ushojax]

How can Belgium play without a true centre forward? Their shooting has been utter shite. Its all neat and tidy until they reach the penalty area, then they don't know what to do. Nobody is leading the line and giving a structure to the attack.

 

[Wilbur]

England is missing Wilshere...

Wilshere and Cleverley centre midfield.... imagine.

 

[kharma45]

Thought I'd try out England in FM12 and try to win the Euros.

Topped my group beating Bosnia and Portugal and drawing with Spain only to lose to Slovenia 1-0 after John Terry got sent off. Useless man.

lmao who said that/

I just woke up, have we been playing good

 

[Soi-Fong]

Is Cleverley still injured?

I might do this. Never tried international on FM.

Not that I know of

 

[caramac]

Yeah, out of their depth.

 

[Dark Machine]

They're just my suggestions for new chants at the Euros. And no it's been like watching paint dry, but England are winning. Greece-style baby.

It's quite boring, spent most of the time 'on holiday' and just skipping to the matches, nothing to do day-to-day.

 

[caramac]

and him

None of the namby pambying around with fucking transfers and agents. Dortmund wanted 34m for Kagawa!

 

[elsk]

I'm writing an article but I wanted to make a reference to some team using a 5 players in the back line. Was Wigan using 5-4-1 in the last part of the season ir it was a different formation? Btw, anyone has the link about Wigan "new" formation and success, someone posted a few weeks ago?

 

[BlindCommunication]

Cool a winger out for another winger. Not gonna score today.

 

[Dark Machine]

Do it part-time while managing your own club. Then it's an entertaining distraction. Can't do it until you're really successful though.

They were using a 3:6:1 or 3:4:3 formation with Wing-Backs and inverted Wingers. As far as I saw anyway.

 

[Soi-Fong]

lol Hazard.

 

[danwarb]

Rooney back pass.

[Wes]

We're useless bringing the ball out from defence.

Ganso is where it's at.

Yeah that's what I usually do.

[Willkiller]

Bollocks to this, I'm just gunna go play some TF2!

 

[GorillaJu]

Belgium having free reign right now. They should put one of these chances away

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

LOL

Ohhh damn, as I thought then..2nd half collapse on route

 

[mxgt]

Come on Belgium, just fucking score.

We don't deserve to win, this team and performance is just embarrassing.

 

[Wilbur]

Walcott up front?

 

[Mastadon]

Chamberlain looks like he could be Walcott's dad.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Why is Walcott coming in?! Chamberlain been doing decent.

 

[BlindCommunication]

What chances? It's pathetic that our only presence in the box is Fellaini, a DM.

Perfect. Thanks!

 

[Bumhead]

Belgium look a handy side but look incredibly short of ideas in the final third.

Hodgson's England is clearly set out to soak up pressure and catch teams on the counter. I'm fine with that. Got to play to your strengths limitations sometimes.

 

[Dark Machine]

"Yeah we've got shape and are hard to break down. But when we've got the ball we're so rigid, no movement, no passing, no threat."

Chris Waddle and the rest of England finding out what Uncle Roy's really about.

Boring boring England. Boring boring England.

But this is what England fans wanted. They want England to win. England are winning. Yeah it's shite football, but they're winning. Enjoy it, because they'll only win 33% of games.

 

[caramac]

Its a warm up game for the euro's

please do

 

[Gareth Bale]

Defoe will either score or do fuck all, although to be honest he'll do fuck all either way.

 

[Fry]

lol Perfect way to describe him. Great finisher though.

 

[GorillaJu]

He's gettin a chance to impress and earn the respect of the great Roy Hodgson.

 

[Wes]

In that he finishes his relationships often?

England are winning so Roy is certainly doing something right. Who cares for movement, passing and threats? Just score one more goal than your opponent. It's not as if Belgium possession mounted to anything.

 

[mxgt]

Not like we're going to set the world on fire at the euro's. This team is painfully average and I can see us easily going out in the group stage.

 

[Bumhead]

England have got to play like that because unfortunately this team doesn't have any Chris Waddle's in it.

This is an incredibly limited England squad. Roy is playing with what he has at his disposal. To be fair I'm more confident (if not entertained) watching an England side set up like this than trying to pretend we're a decent footballing side.

 

[danwarb]

England are not particularly entertaining, but they are solid/frustrating and dangerous enough on the counter. They might do well at the Euro's.

 

[Ushojax]

A striker at last.

England are crap but they know that, that's why they are using these Greece/Chelsea tactics. They get results.

 

[Dark Machine]

Exactly. I think Roy might be ideal for England, because it's just one off games and tournaments, and he CAN get results like that. Over the long term his tactics get found out and he only ever wins 33-34% of games a season.
