Too cautious. Just like Capello (Sven, McLarene etc.) and so many before him. Something about England that just cries out let's be cautious and defend really deeply. It's almost like we set out not to lose half the time.

Thing that really irks me the most is that we know our defence is poor. We know we are susceptible and it is our weakest side to our game. That's why we should have just gone for it tonight. I think we were too cautious, too deep and really didn't get at them as we should have.

Err, let me guess. Played out for a gentle 1-1 draw.

I wish they would stop talking about it not being all over yet too. We are OUT!! Forget it. Too many permutations. Play the kids on Tuesday. Forget any hope of getting through. Worry is though that Roy will still play the old stagers on the back over a 1% chance of getting through. I do wish...

Really think we need to rip it up and start again and I would start with Hodgson. Again tonight there was caution and lack of flair and belief. Thought we had blown those cobwebs away. When we attack with freedom we look good, when we start using caution we look piss poor. We should have...

Agree! We didn't have a go. I said during the friendlies, we looked better (apart from the back 4) with the youngsters in (Barclay, Lallana, Wilshere, Ox, Sterling etc.) And I disagree about us being beaten by Suarez. We were beaten by a better Uruguayan side. We simply weren't good enough.

Sorry to keep banging on about this, but I once again go back to the fact that we didn't deal with Pirlo last Saturday. Big Hodgson mistake I think. He has now come out and said Sterling was allocated to deal with Pirlo. Now, Sterling did have a very good game of course, but with him up the...

England never lost their first 2 games in the World Cup. This now officially makes us the worst ever England team ever. Oops.

He has. Poor.

Wasn't expecting miracles, but certainly not out after 2 games.

Not if the ball stays by the corner flag for 5 mins

Don't understand it. We pull level and then look good for about 2 mins and then all of a sudden it is all back defending again.

Bugger. Game over.

Don't like defending corners though with this side.

Uruguay have to win this with Italy next. Think we may find a fair bit of space now.

Good grief! Someone just been feeding them Red Bull or something?

Johnson you beauty!! :whistle:

Well blow me down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's been poor for sometime though Grendel. Not just talking about tonight.

Usually very optimistic sort me, but I already think we have lost this. Lacking inspiration, poor final delivery. Think we will huff and puff and they will bag a second on a breaakaway.
