England

[loozy]

I'd say it was a mixture of both I think Hodgson is doing good work even if I will forever carry a beef with him due to his Liverpool- time, but what he has done with the team so far is something that I quite like.

I gotta give it to England today... that was a seriously entertaining display of football.
Great ball movement, a lot of creativity, and constant pressure.

4-3-3 with Wilshere and Cleverley in midfield. Who knew it could be good on the eye?

About time England switched from the boring 4-4-2.

Wasn't perfect though. Welbeck looked out of place on the left.

A nice result considering we pressed the self-destruction button for about five minutes after Cahill's blunder.

It was nice to see England play with some creativity rather than route 1 boring football.
One thing I don't get is how Carrick is a regular starter for ManU but can't get a callup. Gerrard is a versatile player and did a phenomenal job as a holding mid but Carrick is like the English Busquets.

Hodgeson should try Gerrard - Carrick - Wilshire next time out.

Carrick is injured.

Carrick pulled out through injury but yeah he doesn't get much of a chance for England

 

[Barca8]

Oh alright. I think even when fit he used to be overlooked for players like Gareth Barry which was a mistake.

I hope that Carrick gets playing time; Carrick - Gerrard - Wilshere would be one sexy English midfield.

Carrick is in the past, this midfield can't use him now

Interesting to note that after all being at St. George's Park together the Seniors, U21's and U19's all set up as a 4-3-3 for their games this week.

 

[FCBarca]

Shame England can't use Baines more, he's looked good most times he's had a run out

 

[Jenks]

Probably a bit too Real Madrid(ish) for most people's tastes, but I quite like it.

First kit from Nike after they took over from Umbro, meant to commemorate the FA's 150th anniversary.

Should've been red or blue instead of gold

Why blue?
