am more disappointed with the second half than can express
typical ERIKKSON performance - sooner we are shut of him the better
fab first half, we pressed, tackled had shots at goal and played 4-4-2. Gerrard and Joe Cole were everywhere, as was Crouch - world cup winning display
then the Sven factor comes out - that man wouldn't know a good substitution if his life depended on it - and this IS NOT hindsight talking.
Owen needs games to get match-fit, so we shall take him off - do we put another striker on and try to kill the game off? NO - bring on a fifthe midfielder with Cole (allegedly) pushed up ( i didn't see that- looked like Crouch on his tod to me!!!) THEN, as we are defending deeper and deeper (why?) we take off Cole, and put that muppet Owen Hargreaves on (bless him) - how did he get in the squad, other than "he plays in Germany"?
We then defend our back 30 yards for the final 20 minutes and skank through on what should have been a comfortable 3-0 victory!!!!!
Go Sven Go - and i mean that literally - DON'T BLAME THE HEAT, BLAME THE SUBSTITUTIONS AND SECOND HALF TACTICS
That said, we got three points and Sweden didn't
RANT OVER!!!!!! (for now lol)  |
