Spain v England

Its a patched up side though - 1st half we have 1 world class player on the pitch in John Terry when Spain have about 6-7.

I think Johnson and Cole have been outclassed on the wings by their wingbacks and wingers.

Lampard and Carrick made the passing a bit better but and pushed things forward a little but still nothing much, especially with Crouch playing the support striker not giving much help.

Carrick cant control a game like a Lampard or Gerrard, and Barry is just cover so the 1st half midfield was a mess.

I thought Heskey was doing all the leg work while Agbonglahor got lost.

Agbonglahor is not an out and out striker, and again didnt do much. Carlton Cole's been on 10 minutes and almost scored - he's a striker and why he's scored goals this season, his movement is better. Agbonglahor is a winger still learning how to be a striker, showed he doenst know where the space is as a striker. As a striker Defoe, Bent, Rooney and Owen all should be picked over him.

As for Jags -- the pass will be the papers whipping piece getting villain of the match and a 4 out of 10 (not forgetting the fact that everyone's passing was woeful at times or Upson left his man and mistimed his header for the 2nd goal).

James' career is over this season IMO.

Overall...got beat by the best side in Europe with a lot of players out injured. No big shakes but no new boy could claim a stake.

Was that when he skied it out of the stadium from around 10 yards out?

Well Spain are not that good a nation because before the last tournament they were never in contention.

It comes down to the basic skill of pass and move, control and look up. Having 3 or 4 options to pass to. The Dutch do it, the Brazilians do it. We should be able to do it, but we select players who would never have got in the International setup if they never played for Liverpool.

I think in the 1st half with Barry and Carrick in the middle, nothing much was on to pass to IMO, the wingers and Heskey just found a wall of a 5 man midfield.

When Lampard came on, passing improved because Lampard is good at passing and moving - he keeps things alive like that all the time at Chelsea.

Ah, Ghost done exactly what you said too... thought by abused the admin you meant Ghost saying I am the type of person who would throw boiling hot coffee at disabled people :unsure:

As for admins doing nothing - I'll have you know HB served his full suspension. As did Ghost.

Hang on mate that was a misunderstanding and I apologised for it. No need to bring it back up again. Your out of order there.

Was talking about when he went around Reina. But for his 1st international, against Spain, at least he got into the position, got into that space unlike Agbonglahor did for 70 minutes.

Oh right, sorry. I walked out of the living room with 10 minutes to go, got bored with it.

Hang on again, I just felt I got banned for nothing that bad, and I haven't criticised you, dom was criticising you, how about giving him some?

Oi! I wasnt criticising either, i just assumed seeing as he had to make a Ver 2 of his account it was either still banned - therefore breaking rules - or deleted - therefore being Permanently banned?
