From what I heard today we were atrocious, not going to panic after 1 game but if after 5 games we haven't seen an improvement in performances I will be getting worried myself
People calling it a hard earned point are just trying to sweep it under the carpet an cover the cracks imo, we were...
Your joking right?
We signed
Brown
Malaga
Edjenguele
Barton
Ball
Kilbane
who are all 6 foot or taller
Also Fleck injured by the sounds of it which is concerning
Wood has played over 250 championship games for Sheff Wed and Coventry
Point taken on Clarke and Hussey but they have nearly 100 championship appearances between them now and I have seen enough of them at championship level to think they will do very well in this league
Brown is a novice...
I would say we have a side that should be genuinely competing for the play offs at least.
We have one of the best back defence in the league I would say in the top 3 for defence.
The attack is a bit more unknown as Fleck and Mcdonald who seem to be peoples main hopes this season are unproven...
We were very good vs Italy and I agree about the Gerrard point, fantastic player but goes for the 60-80 yard cross field pass a bit too regularly.
Shame we didn't play like that in the euro instead of the anti football we were treated too
