Mr Capello please explain

[suityou01]

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?

I could go on but I'm off to get drunk now.

Total joke Mr Capello, you have lost the frakin plot.

After being slammed by "Der Kaiser" following the USA match for playing "kick and rush" football, Mr Capello thought he would change tack. Against Algeria they played "kick but don't rush" instead.
Still, all in their own hands, so no need for the England fans to worry..................apparently.
Trust me...............as a Scotland fan of very many years, I am well aware of when the point to worry is reached. For this England team it occurred about 45 minutes into their first game. Shame the pundits have not cottoned onto that fact yet.

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

Mr Capello seems to have conveniently forgotton all his English in the post match interviews, so let's help him out a little.


1) Perché Heskey in campo per tanto tempo?
2) Perché sostituire Lennon con SWP e poi portare su Defoe?
3) Perché non passare al 4-5-1 con Rooney supportato da Gerrard?
4) Perché i nostri giocatori sembrano così nervoso?
5) Perché il nostro gioco a centrocampo nella nostra metà campo così tanto?
6) Perché non si stringa passa insieme a centrocampo?
7) Carragher - perché?

1) Why was Heskey on the plane?
2) Why replace Lennon with SWP and then bring on Defoe? Didn't want to disrupt the "creative flow" of the team
3) Why not switch to 4-5-1 with Rooney supported by Gerrard? Because of the language barrier?
4) Why did our players look so nervous? Fabio had given John Terry their wives' mobile numbers
5) Why did our midfield play in our own half so much? Only way to get near the ball?
6) Why could we not string passes together in midfield? The ball was a "bit funny"
7) Carragher - why? Not a problem for the next match - he is banned!

I could go on but I'm off to get drunk now. Good plan!

Total joke Mr Capello, you have lost the frakin plot. Go easy on him....it is his Birthday, and he has received hundreds of Postman Pat Birthday cards!

FTFY

It all sounds so complicated - Thank God I'm not interested in football

[MarillionFan]

The remarkable drawing power of delusion!!

Just used on BBC1 News. Great line!

The midfield were awful. In general the team lacked leadership and seemed to be looking round at each other hoping for guidance.

3 hours of football and Robert Green is still joint top scorer!

Zippy, we are aligned. You are always spot on with your comments, be it about pundits or players or managers. I assume a good upbringing. A real breath of fresh air from listening to all the "Eaton wannabees" and sweaty socks on here.

@Shaunboy : Good quality banter mate, love it
