I think its time we dropped everyone from the 'Golden Generation' Rooney included. The most annoying thing is people are gonna praise Rooney like a messiah now that he scored, i'm sorry but if he missed that he would be the worlds worst forward.

Yaya and Kolo's younger brother passed away.
One of the reasons I'm looking forward to LVG so much - and one of the reasons why Fergie was so fucking good - is that everything was in service of the team. Moyes and Hodgson had favourites and made it abundantly clear.
As good as Gerrard and Rooney are as individuals, they are the two players that stand out as being particularly ill suited to the formation and system that Hodgson likes to play. If we are going to insist on playing two in the middle, Gerrard should not be one of them. If we are going to insist on playing a number ten, Rooney should not be it. They don't fit whatever semblance of a gameplan we have at the start of matches, because like jtb said, they're both too tactically undisciplined.
As a 4-3-3, with Rooney up top, Sterling and Sturridge either side and someone like Wilshere to do Gerrard's running for him, it would work better.
And there's a tendency to bring football down to things like formations and statistics and shit like that, but when Chile and Mexico are notable for playing three man defences and doing it brilliantly, or someone like LVG places so much emphasis on what formation he's going to play, you can only assume that it does have an impact.

Vermaelen is denying the United story.
PLS.
PLS.
RIP.I think you can and should look forward to LvG, but he certainly has favourites as well. Players he dislikes might as well leave right away. Apparently the only one he changed his opinion on was Gomez (according to LvG himself), but it was at the end of his tenure.
Still, he will be exactly what United need, I'd say. He has no scruples and will tear down everything in his way to rebuild it as something fitting his ideas.
Oh, of course he'll have favourites, but I can only imagine it may be because what they bring to the team as opposed to just being big names like Rooney.

Some great threads in the OT right now.
Attractiveness one is pretty jokes. My favourite is "my girlfriend won't let me watch Sparatcus". Some geniuses on GAF - they just dont know it.

One of the televisions at the gym was playing BBC News and they kept on showing highlights of England vs Uruguay. It was torture.

"Retribution"
We should have him sectioned under the Mental Health Act when he lands at Heathrow

I agree, Henderson normally does the running for him at Liverpool in a 3 but again they were part of 2 not a 3 which left them a little exposed i feel.
Try telling that to a football fan in England.
Someone I know posted the following on Facebook earlier.
People can't accept how good he is and have to make bullshit up to pass off their own teams frailties. He was clearly still injured in the match and as farces I'm aware there's no illegal miracle cure for healing from surgery. Haters gonna hate. I hope he stays at Liverpool at hits 40 goals next year just to piss these cunts off some more.
Bungie, pls. That's not a nice thing to do to Gerrard.
It was a great assist (and a brave one given the incoming tackle) but if a guy who can't even block a cross is our best defender on the night then I think that says it all.
This will work in Liverpool's favour. Barcelona will come calling for him as a replacement for Dani Alves because of his "best English defender" performance. His reluctance to actually defend and instead always bomb up top and fail stepovers like some Emile Heskey tribute will raise his profile significantly.

I know gerrard has been good for Liverpool this season, but I thought he was the worst player on the pitch for the two games and have no clue what he did or what he was suppose to do.
He hit a few nice cross field passes, but for me he is a player all about his drive and energy of getting forward.

@TonyBarretTimes: Baines is a great player. His biggest strength is overlapping. What does he get? A system that restricts his ability to get forward.
@TonyBarretTimes: Rooney is a great player. His biggest strength is getting into the box. What did he get initially? A system that wasted him out wide.
@TonyBarretTimes: Henderson and Gerrard have been brilliant in a midfield three. What did they get? A midfield two that left them exposed.l
@TonyBarretTimes: Sterling shone as a number ten in the first game. What did he get in game two? Shifted out wide & his impact greater reduced.
@TonyBarretTimes: Barkley's biggest strength is his fearlessness & willingness to run at players. What did he get? Told to take fewer risks.
@TonyBarretTimes: You could go on & on.The players have to take their share of responsibility but the biggest issue is strengths being turned into weaknesses.
Fuck Woy.

I think he's done a decent job incorporating youth into the side and is a bit unlucky to get such a tough group.
But I struggle to see how at his age he'll learn from his mistakes and become more tactically advanced than he is now.
Honestly, as jokes as it is, Alan Pardew is the best English manager around. And that's kinda devastating :lol

Who should replace him though, nearly everyone seems to agree the coach has to be English cause it's the national team, and are happy not to have some dirty catennacio Italian there anymore. So... Ehm.... Redknapp? Fat Sam? Pardew (that is going to be expensive with that Newcastle deal lol)?
IMO go, unless he can show in the next game that he can correct his tactical mistakes. If I see that we line up in the same 4-2-3-1 formation then he has to go. After these two games, if he is unable to see his mistakes...
I sort of wish me 'foreign part of me' was the English part, rather than the Italian. Would make international football much more enjoyable.

Pogba isn't a a defensive midfielder.
I do think that national sides should have a national manager or coach, just because your entire playing personnel is from that country (Diego Costa pls) so really it's weird if you have a foreigner as manager. But that's just the romantic in me baby. We'd probably be better if we didn have someone English because a) they're all shit and b) emotion may get in the way more
He will. There is no doubt. He failed everywhere he was but he did in those clubs was incredible.

What about Paul Clement??? would be a risk but he has worked with Hiddink and Ancelotti.
Think he should take a club job a la Clarke at WBA first. England job is a massive pressure cooker.

The media would criticise the FA if they went for a foreign manager again...but who gives a flying fuck what they think. We also have no really tactically brilliant English managers too.
Brendan pls switch your allegiance to England.

It's time for Southgate.
I do think that we should really play as the UK, as that is our nation state. It's silly that we are limiting ourself for historic reasons. It's only in sports that we invented that we don't play as the UK.
We are limiting ourselves by not playing as our nation state. Wouldn't it be nice if our whole country supported one team like we do in the Olympics.

It says a lot when we all struggle to pick a half decent manager for the national team. loool
Do we even have a Klopp/Simeone/Conte style manager plying his trade in other leagues? We could do with them. Someone who's tactically astute.
....
LT, pls. This is a bad idea. England will just get in the way of Wales, Ireland and Scotland. D:
The only reason that it hasn't happened is that our FAs don't want to lose their 'power' in FIFA, by being merged into one. Selfish reasons.
Marshall, Bale and Ramsey is all we would have m8
