albyella 0 Posted November 22, 2007 1st half was dire, whole crowd shell-shocked - only player(s) that showed anything at all was Crouch (on his own, with no support) and SWP (ran his little heart out). I have never experienced a Wembley so subdued at 1/2 time. 2nd half was rocking - like him or not, Beckham DID make a difference, and not just the inch perfect pass through for Crouch''s goal - he was back defending and clearing the lines. However, I don''t know if it was seen on TV, but after our 2nd goal, McClaren was up and waving the players back to defend for a draw - this when the Croatians were all over the place and we could have pushed for a 3rd.At the end of the match, the only 2 players to come across and thank the fans were Beckham & Crouch - the rest just walked off.So, totally deflated this morning, expect McClaren will be gone by lunch time (£2.5M pay off, he must be hurting.....) BUT, roll on Saturday with renewed optimism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feathers 0 Posted November 22, 2007 McClaren''s 2.5 Million pay-off exemplifies everything wrong in English football today: Money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unlucky Fried Kitten 0 Posted November 22, 2007 I knew we were out as soon as the 1st Croatian goal went in. It was such a massive game, and I just felt our current team don''t have sufficient determination or spirit to come back from adversity. It might have been different if Beckham had started and if England had a competent goalkeeper available. I''m not sure if there is one goalie, anywhere in the country, up to the task just now. Who''s next in the hot seat? Martin O'' Neil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
