The Football Thread

hmmm i really thought these teams would get off to a great start.... everton, portsmouth n tottenham... eventually, all three teams fell flat of my expectations. still lookin for a team to break the big four. west ham has always been a mainstay at the top half of the epl. maybe they could break the monotonous stay of manu, che, liv n ars. oh well its stil early in the season. plenty of action to look forward to. hopefully tevez n ronaldo get back on manu's line up. they need em, no need for a berbatov. chelsea n big phil look really menacing sending out a message.

Czech Republic 1:1 England (HT)

 

i forgot to mention that Cech is having an exhibition match. if theres such a thing called a goal-scoring machine, hes a goal-saving machine.

 

meanwhile...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has bolstered his defensive options after the Gunners completed the signing of Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre for an undisclosed fee.

2:2

 

poor English Display.

 

reminds of the Mclaren Era. overprices superstars showboating.

 

why put Heskey up front? hes as good as division 2 now. hes not his usual Liverpulian attitude. back in 1994-1998 Worldcups.

James shoulve been substituted. too many blunders at a stage like this.

 

Capello deployed a winger too many:

 

Beckham

Cole

Downing

Bentley

 

Thats 4 wingers. in the center of the field you have barry, gerrard. but why 4 wingers when you can rely on full backs (A. Cole and Brown) on both sides to create space. too much space in the middle and this is where the czechs were toying around with them. a weak pointman and a deficient engineroom.

 

i say deploy an anchorman, say carrick or even lampard. and 2 midfielders. gerrard and barry. Put Agbolanhor up front as pointman. Downing on the left. A. Young on the Right. M. Richards as Rightback. Gareth Bale as Left back. Terry and Ferdinand Centrebacks. and Paul Robinson as GK.

 

WC Qualifiers next month . i think Capello needs to take things seriously by now if they want to learn from the Euros.
