PKC 0 Posted June 15, 2012 Watching the game; tried to watch with 5live commentary but get Moyles in a pop up window even if you don''t have his version. BBC dumbing down again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted June 15, 2012 Andy Carroll does exactly what it says on the tin. The problem is that it doesn''t say that much on the tin. If he had the all-round play of Ibrahimavic I would be happier. For now and for England''s future/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phillip J Fry 0 Posted June 15, 2012 Another solid defensive display from England, the defence looks better with every passing game and could be up there with the best in the tournament. Hodgson has identified the weakness of the English team (keeping possession) and has decided to play with the counter-attack. I''m still concerned with Englands'' ability on the counter, England need to stretch the play more and encourage the wide midfielders to really attack the full-backs. So, it looks like the England team are really buying in to Hodgson philosophy, offensively the counter-attacks need working on and England could really do with a calming presence in midfield to keep the ball (but England have always needed one of them) but this is only Hodgsons fourth game as England manager and so far, his philosophy has got the best out of his players.

Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted June 16, 2012 You can make all these Holt v Carroll v Welbeck comparisons till the cows come home, but one very Norwich City thing about England is their new-found spirit. I''m sure that under Capello, Sven and Brollyman, if we''d gone 2-1 down v the Swedes, that would''ve been it. Or a draw at the very best. Certainly Hodgson has instilled a never say die attitude in the England players, in the same way that Lambert did so in our lads . Counts for a lot in a team of (relatively)average players . Of course that''s not to say that (again as with Norwich) when England come up against anybody any good they''ll not get beaten, but I''m confident that wuith that kind of attitude we can get a result v Ukraine.
