Depends how up for it Italy are as they will already have qualified.

The subs were pathetic any other manager would have taken a defender off and threw the kitchen sink at Uruguay, instead we done like for like changes.

We didn't even have a go Barkley and Lallana for Sterling and Welbeck were the changes. Any other manager in this world cup who was in our situation would have took off a defender and went 3 at the back. Should have chucked on Welbeck, Sterling, Rooney, Sturridge, Barkley, Lambert all together...

That's what you get when you appoint a manager who can't pronounce his own name

I yearn for the days of quarter finals under Sven

I think its more that Uruguay are pressing us a lot and forcing us into mistakes, Italy were happy to sit back and soak up the pressure last game. Will improve as Uruguay tire but whether it will be enough I don't know

If Pressley had given names on our targets we'd have the same people asking why are we naming our targets, it would probably be Waggot and Fisher's fault. Deliberately naming our targets to ensure other clubs get interested and we don't sign them. Some people just love creating something out of...

This thread went downhill quickly

Don't forget Cody 'Goal' Mcdonald Can't believe SISU let a player of his quality leave us

Says who? You think Murphy was still interested in staying here and taking a wage cut when he and his agent found out championship clubs wanted him?

No doubt you were saying the same 12 months ago

That's his international aspirations back down the pan just after he had broke back into the squad

Can you fit Sturridge and Rooney into a team which doesn't play 2 upfront or should it be a choice between Sturridge and Rooney?

I agree with that, which is why I think his best position is to play him at striker with freedom to drift, roam and drop into the free spaces. Once you say pin him to say left side or in the area behind the striker than you lose a large part of his game.

What hype over Rooney? Pretty much 95% of of England are questioning his place in the team.

Would probably have to go 442 to accommodate Rooney as Sturridge can't be dropped, I think Rooney is best playing at striker right up the top and dropping deep sometimes. I hear a lot of people saying his best position is number 10 behind the striker but he seems to find less space when he plays...

The system worked fine, the problem was they showed countless replays which looked like it wasn't in. Then NO GOAL flashed, in relation to when it hit the post, obviously we know the no goal was from hitting the post. The problem was I think all this was shown on a big screen in the stadium...

We were ok, could've drawn on another day. Still confident of progress

Do they still receive money over the Tevez saga? Weren't they awarded something like 30-40 million a few years back for there relegation?

Playing with 10 men, an interesting tactic. Could catch Uruguay by surprise, thinking outside the box I see
