The England thread

[DavidMarrio]

They don't half love a tackle these Honduras players.

[Jimmy]

Sturridge has been so bad.

[Dan]

That was pretty poor.

Barkley was great though. I really hope he starts against Italy.

[Lineker]

Mercy.

[Nerf]

Sturridge has been so bad.

Yeah, he just doesn't get up for England. Probably down to tactics and teammates, but still.

[Dan]

He really should have scored twice. I don't think his general play was that bad (not on the level of Johnson anyway) but as a striker with 2 big chances he should be disappointed.

[Jimmy]

Barkley was wonderful for like ten minutes, but he wasn't great outside of that. Would still love to see him start, he at least tries to make things happen. Pretty poor game overall, but Sturridge could've easily had a hattrick. Hopefully he just puts them away next time.

4 goals in 11 games.. not a bad ratio. :/

[King Ellis]

I thought we were bad in that last game but at least we scored there. :/

Yeah, but he plays like shit. Like I said, that's probably down to the lack of an adept manager, though.

I was in the group on the field behind Honduras' keeper first half and Hart/Forster second. Good bunch out there.

Fun game to watch for someone with a bias.

Close enough to shout at players!

[King Ellis]

Clearly you were just checking out Baines' buns.

[Baddar]

Nerf is well and truly back.

[Jimmy]

Not quite sure what Hodgson has to do with him missing three really good changes.

[Nerf]

The conversation was about Sturridge's international career in general, not specifically last night.

[METALMAN]

This inept manager than Nerf is talking about - is this the same one that has only lost one competitive match as England manager, that being on penalties? Doing so while in charge of the worst England team in about 20 years? Yeah, he's pretty darn hopeless.

[Gorka]

Nerf still has flashbacks of Konchesky playing for Liverpool.

[Baddar]

If Liverpool didn't have a stupid inept manager, Gerrard wouldn't have slipped. Fucking Rodgers. :/

[Nerf]

Yeah, okay. Roy Hodsgon is a tactical genius.
