As bad as the game was his substitutions worried me the most. Looked like Mclaren was more worried about keeping the 'big' players happy than trying to improve the teams performance. Lampard imho opinion was totally shite, i would have had him off at half time.

I wouldn't play Lampard, he just doesn't perform for England. Haven't seen the game but any criticism given out can only be expected after a fucking 0-0 draw with Israel
I guess once again the Lord was on their side

Lots of possession, no cutting edge. Please do one MacLaren.

take out Joe Cole and David Beckham and you've got no creativity at all.
Very few chances, but I thought their keeper played quite well.

Gerrard is the problem.He was supposed to play on the right, but he played in the centre with Lampard leaving Phil Neville to do all the donkey work on the right.
We were so unbalanced due to this also. Why play Lennon on the left, when he scares defenders when he plays on the right.
What McClaren should've done is play Richards at RB, with Phil Neville at LB. Downing on at LM, with Lennon at RM, with Gerrard being dropped.
It will send a message that no-one is safe, and if Lampard plays crap, you just do a straight swap.
We're supposed to have all these 'great' midfield players, but we've scored ONE goal in five games.
Says it all...really.

agree with dex, people need a bit of perspective. there are alot of dickhead fans who clearly know absolutely nothing about football and expect us to go there and win 3-0, they need a reality check. these matches are always going to be very tough. having said that, we were poor. very little in terms of creativity and no real determination shown apart from a couple of occasions; gerrard and hargreaves. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A21100366i agree with this article. mclaren seems so uninspiring. and for once and all can we rule kieran richardson out of international football!? why waste everyones time calling him up to squads for friendlies when you're going to play gerrard and lennon out of position anyway? and with downing in reserve, richardson is nowhere near the side. don't bother. |

Its been the same for years, players put on the England shirt and play like totally within themselves. Looking lethargic can mean that they are just scared to make a mistake, and/or their club has told them not to get injured. They didn't get Saturday's off years ago, either.
Thew last manger that had the England team playing with freedom was Joe Mercer. That was about a million years ago, and he was only temporary.
Playing Lennon out of position was the sort of genius we got used to under Andy King. Sort it out McClaren, you're embarrassing your mate Fergie. The FA deserve you, we fans do not.
Drawing against Israel, not acceptable if you are rated in the top ten in the world. If we accept that we are not good enough for the European Championship, then a draw is just fine.
