Nigel Posted August 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2013 Couldnt help but be chuffed for Lambert. Its really good to see things pay off for players that havnt been pampered their whole lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 roy has said he expects sturridge and carroll to come back in for the October games but lambert wont be struck off his list lightly **** joker, how about he just picks the in form English strikers in October? Because it's Hodgson. He has his favourites (mostly Liverpool or ex-Liverpool players) and if you're not one of them then you have no chance. I'm surprised Lambert was even called up in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thats awesome for Lambert. Waits forever for an England call, gets one and scores a winner against Scotland with his first touch. Gotta be happy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Poor overall but I'll take the win. The only stand out moment I can think of is Ricky Lambert, very pleased for him. On the other side of things, Welbeck was incredibly shit tonight (MotM, WTF!?). Couldn't control anything, played a part in both of their goals and generally didn't really contribute. I think Cahill/Jagielka top him for shit though. Scotland played long ball to Miller all night long, on his own, against 2 defenders. And he won every **** ball. Absolutely shocking from that pair, it's really not acceptable, they made him look like Ibrahimovic FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 wasnt much of a game, havnt really rated any starting line up since sven, no idea what the game was meant to prove, alot of average kids, bit boring to see as its near enough made of up the 'dross 4' but still, a win is a win, and what we have proved is that even when we play sh ite, we can still beat the bitter sweaty socks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 15, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 15, 2013 Scotland kept England interested until they ran out of gas. And the football was much the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 thought was a great game for a friendly but if being honest neither team are great shakes though was happy for Lambert he showed that some people care about international football and be a travesty if doesnt get another call-up have said it before and so has Roy Keane but Joe Hart is average and a major accident waiting to happen. he makes a lot of mistakes and seems to get an easy ride. last night wasnt first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Welbeck is the new heskey. Picked for no good reason and contribution is minimal. Other than him that's a decent effort from woy. Englands best player last 2 years is probably the reason. another man of match performance last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I hate the fact that the England team features so many individuals who are only really squad players at their respective clubs. If you can't get a regular spot in the Manchester United side, then you shouldn't be in the England side either. Wellbeck, Cleverley, Jagielka, Cahill and Zaha were all rubbish last night. Rooney gets a pardon for lacking match fitness. I also thought Walcott's goal was pretty poor, did his best to mess it up with a couple of poor touches prior to his finish.

Englands best player last 2 years is probably the reason. another man of match performance last night no and no he's shit, like I posted during the game 6 shots on target in 17 games from an attacking player is an awful stat, he's all over the shop playing pretty much everywhere but where he should be and then like we saw last night it means that he ends up in positions that he shouldn't be in and doesn't really know how to play either that or he's actually incredibly lazy when the opposition has the ball, which the Madrid game suggests isn't the case, his closing down and pressing was pathetic at times, his general touch and passing is poor, but every now and then he does something fancy or hits one good pass and ITV jump all over it instantly forgetting everything that came before, really don't see what he offers that gabby doesn't, other than being a utd player... cleverly is the same, it was a great pass for walcotts goal, but what about everything else that was shit?

Zatman Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 players like Welbeck and Cleverly are young, always give their all for England and unfairly getting abuse. Englands worst player last night was probably Rooney and no real mention of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadenb42 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Wellbeck is gash been saying this for a few years since I saw him play in the U21 tournament a couple years back. Another manure player who gets picked due to the media hype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I also wouldn't agree Rooney was the worst. Both centre backs and Welbeck were far worse. Rooney at least chased things down, Welbeck was Scotland's best player.

ryanvilla_1994 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Whilst I agree Welbeck was shite I really don't buy the ' only in the team because he plays for united' argument. He gets in the team because Hodgson for whatever reason rates him. International managers are never going to pick players purely on form either so I don't know why people always moan about that.

villa4europe Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 hodgson came out before after picking i think around 6 man city players in the line up and said he likes his players to have the club connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) If Cleverly played for Fulham, I doubt he would he get in the team. Edited August 15, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
