England B v Belarus - 25/05/2006

[Batch]

My opinion, I'll treat it as if it was a proper match. Clearly it wasn't:

James 6 :  Didn't have a lot to do. Did what he had to.
A. Cole 8 : Class act. Didn't look to like he had been out for most of the season
Carragher 6:  Solid but not a first choice
Camp-bell 6 : Looked slow and lumbering at times. Tried some things that I hope he won't against better opposition (should he play).
Hargreaves 6: Tried hard in an out of position role.
Lenon 9: Looked full of running and tricks .
Downing 4: Poor. poor, poor waste of a shirt
Jenas 4: See Downing
Carrick 5: Tried hard to get things going but had a mixed bag of a game.
Owen 5: Didn't look match sharp.
Crouch 6: Did some things well. Did some things poorly. Clearly in on hieght and not quality.
-----
J Cole 5: Has been to diving schoool.
Walcott 6: Very good first 5 minutes. Didn't get the oppertunity to impress as the game degenerated into stop/start subs and fouls.
Green 5 : oooouch!
Carson 6: Didn't do much. Good kicking,
Defoe 5: Not much chance to impress
---------------------------------------------------
Beer: Fosters. Not too bad if expectedly pricey 7
Hot Dog : Average frakfurter affair :5.
Taking the piss out the steward following a 'Curo/Swindon 3-1 win' conversation: Priceless

Was good night out for £15 only a shitty warm up game anyway....

Was bit annoying how Walcott maina took off so as he was ready to come on, as in chanting his name singing his name before he'd even touchd the ball?! Half the stadium has never seen him play ffs!

Bloke sat next to me spend the last 30mins sayin 'Give it to walcott' everytime ANY england player had the ball!

The result isn't really important. .

Disagree. Good teams win. Good team's B teams win too ! Different sport, but look at the Aussies in cricket.

But without the Green injury we would have won, I've no doubts about that.

This team's B team had never played together before. They still had nearly 2/3rds of possession and were clearly the better side whether they won or not.
