He seemed to be shielding the ball from the keeper overlooking the opportunity to help it into the net.
Good that he is bringing on the youth though I suppose, England suffered for years by managers scared to drop big names like Beckham, Gerrard and Lampard, even in 1990 we might have won the World Cup if we'd had a younger more agile keeper instead of Shilton
If you look at our record since the world cup you will be shocked and its all because he has been constantly doing different formations, moving players around as well as playing tons of college players who you have never heard of. In one game I watched (that we lost) we had something like 5 players get their first cap. It means that our fifa ranking is horrible but I do believe that its exactly what he should be doing.
Their nonsense. Look at Ronaldo he is 6th in the world? Funny I remember them being dog **** in the last tournament and couldnt even get out of the Group that we got out of. There is also no chance Wales are better than England, I doubt Wales could even beat us.
Well, of course FIFA rankings are ****, it's actually possible for Wales to be 2nd in the World next month, and no matter what, they are going to go higher in the rankings next month, as a lot of teams above them are playing friendlies (Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Portugal) whilst most European teams play competitive fixtures. If Wales beat Israel in their next match, they'll go fourth. That's ****ing insane.
Not great for Scotland - they lose; their charter flight home was not booked so stranded until 6 am - nice prep for next game! ! and ROI 3 up at half time against "home" team Gibraltar in Faro
Northern Ireland on the cusp, 3-1 vs Faroes, if results stay this way they need 3 more points and they're going to France. It'll be nice having more than one home nation at the Euros, never mind three!
Thought Maloney looked excellent. Great corners and free kicks and intelligent passing and runs off the ball into the box. Should really spice up our MF attacking capability. Both him and Clucas seem to be able to deliver excellent CKs. Davies, Dawson, and Elmo should score a few this season.
I thought he should have put a bit more pace on some of the free kicks, the floaters were easily picked off!
