Mr Capello please explain

Again, I got up at stupid o'clock on a Saturday morning to watch that.

Shall I make up the spare room for Mr Cockup for the next match?

That one will be in the middle of the night for me and it is mid-week. I probably wont watch that one.

Bugger! Have a tinny and get back to bed.

SY01 - the punditry was world class in comparison to the footie.

It is a bit late for that now.

I might be a big piss-head but I draw the line at starting drinking before noon (sparkling wine with breakfast doesn't count, obviously ). That said, it will be noon shortly.

1) Why was Heskey on the pitch for so long?
2) Why replace Lennon with SWP and then bring on Defoe?
3) Why not switch to 4-5-1 with Rooney supported by Gerrard?
4) Why did our players look so nervous?
5) Why did our midfield play in our own half so much?
6) Why could we not string passes together in midfield?
7) Carragher - why?

1. That is puzzling
2. Inject pace and a line hugger, SWP played better than Lenno
3. Never does, and never will
4. Press, expectation and Capello
5. Barry, side ways passing.if he plays then it has to be with SG off the front and 2 wide men
6. We never have been able to master that skill
7. Who else ? Thought he had an ok game, better than JT

WHS.

What was funny was the pre match interviews where every pundit said Algeria was very very poor and this was a walk over. They predicted 3-0, 4-0 etc.

[wobbegong]

Did you see Mexico play? Fast, close down, passion.

Did you just watch England???

Rooney, gerard, lampard!! Crap.

Rooney had the touch of a rapist wearing saucepans on his feet and scissors for hands!!!

Disgraceful

Spot on MF. Mexico played like a team that wanted to win, they were hungry for it, whereas england played like a team that expected victory to be handed to them on a plate simply because they'd bothered to turn up.



Can't help saying "Donkey" in a reproachful Shrek-like accent whenever Heskey gets the ball.

I blame ITV, England always play better on the BBC.

Thank gawd we're saved
