If you put a decent team in place of Algeria, England will get destroyed playing like this. Worst England performance for a long time. Hopefully Defoe can give us something.

Heskey's job is more to support his other striker/midfielders, rather than to score.

What are you talking about ? Algeria in this game is playing at the same level as England, the latter cant even string a few passes together before lumping a long ball to heskey. Algeria has had better teamwork and good passing and defence, in my opinion, thats why theyve restricted England to long shots and very few clear cut chances.

Algeria is more than decent, they are the African champions if you forgot

get Rooney off

I guess what he meant was 'imagine if it was Brazil'

Just because he gives 100% doesn't mean he's qualified to play for the English national team.

It doesn't matter when he obviously brings NOTHING to the game. He has no individual skill, can't run and weird enough, can't set up his teammates.

He's been shocking.

Yes, I know, I mean you put someone like Argentina, or Brazil in there, England are done.

twice as good as rooney today though

I'm refering to his effort today. If you look up my views on the thread for the match v USA you'll se that i acknowledged Heskey's performance as good and he set up Gerrard for the goal.

However today.....

 

[tux119]

rooney at left mid?

 

[zakantoni]

All teams England plays becomes really good especially teams that are ranked 40th over
They just seem so motivated to beat England imo.

 

[Cal.]

Capello is one stubborn *******, how hard is it to make changes in reaction to the how the game is being played?

 

[Max]

That was embarrassing by Lampard.

Infact, this whole game is embarrassing. No commitment aswell, nearly every 50-50 tackle, Algeria win it.
