Swapped with Rooney. Day and night compared to the first game. But everyone was gash, so it could've been a collective meltdown.

poor guy. feel sorry for him
I'm not really into nomenclature but that sounds like something that I think this thread is in desperate need of, yes.
Bollocks to the 4-2-3-1

What's going on here, I don't see Pikachu or Bulbasaur in the field. Japan doesn't stand a chance.
yeah, but going by the match vs England I'm not really sure whether Italy can outplay a side that only wants to defend. I still think that you'll win 2-0 but it won't be easy / pretty.

Its not the system, its the insistence on playing 3 strikers in that system... which it is completely not made for. Roy just lacked balls to play 1 of the 3 strikers.
I am normally all for 4-3-3 but our midfield is so weak for proper CM's/DM's.

So Uruguay and Colombia won today, and Brazil didn't do too well. It's a good day for South Americans.

Supporting Messi for the rest of this tournament, pls do it GOAT.

England need a manager that has a system and just picks the players that will fit it best. Sacrifice the ones that don't fit, I don't care if it pisses off a big name player. Stop playing players out of position when it's clearly better to just put someone there that can actually play there. And stop playing people because they used to be good once, ffs.
Basically, sack Roy and pick a young manager with actual ideas. And preferably a backbone.
I think they should ask Rodgers to do it (as long as he can also do Lfc at the same time).

I remember someone in this thread saying at the Confeds saying that Japan had a 100 year plan to dominate world football. Were they chatting rubbish, or is that actually a thing?

Didn't you guys give Rodgers a lot of flak for never resting Gerrard or subbing him off?
that's probably what he wants
I think we'll do fine with the midfield we have. But Roy wilk need to drop players though...
....
D:
YES FREE!
Let Rodgers have his season in the CL. Then poach him the season after.

He still has to play and live in England though.
No, not really. There was a period towards the start of the season where Gerrard was still being played further forward and it clearly wasn't working. He was then moved deeper when he came back from his injury, and from there on out was one of our best players. I don't think anyone wanted him to play less once his role changed.

Common amongst alot of English fans, especially in the North.
It's a bit of a fail safe - almost all fans of the larger clubs prefer their club to the national team but they all over egg it. Liverpool fans would have been loving it if England were doing well.
United fans were very similar, still are to a large extent, few years back. Feeling rose especially after what happened with Beckham. Not sure what Liverpool fans have to feel aggrieved about though.
Anything to keep 'Arry or Sherwood away. 😞
To be fair Roy has been sending all the right signals and has really pushed the younger players forward in the team. Sterling has started both games and Barkley has been used as a substitute several times recently. Thats why I hope to see him put out a young starting XI in the next game.
At the same time, English players generally lack the technical ability and mentality of the top teams. ENG havent reached their potential but tbh their potential isnt all that great either.
So? The Liverpool fans aren't exactly bothered. It's not as big as your making out.
I don't really understand the United comment, but a lot of them do.
Are you basically saying you have no preference on a CDM as long as it's an actual CDM?
Liverpool fans forgave him after he begged to go to Arsenal.
They'll be fine.
There are a few CDM I would take and don't have a huge preference as long as we get one.
Usho's biggest criticism of 'Arry was his lack of rotation, if he didn't rotate with England it wouldn't rally matter since there's so few games.
Why don't you want him?
