Gribz 850 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Shame!! McLaren will be in for a nightmare of a time from papers and media! I bet Massimo Maccarone is loving it!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 England were awful apart from the first 5 minutes of the game. Kieron Dyer started off well but faded as the game went on. The excuse McLaren used for the poor showing was because of the amount of players who were missing through injury. I can only come up with 2 or 3: Rooney Cole Terry (I thought Jose passed him fit though). Excuses excuses as always! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Worst excuse ever!! I dont think you can use this excuse at international level especially with the host of players england have. They are normally saying how strong they are in depth but coz they get beat they com out with this crap. But what does he expect when he plays G Neville at LB, Gerrard on the left and Crouch in the squad. Crouch makes Owen look a player!! IMO they have the management team the wrong way round. It should be El Tel in charge with Mclaren the assistant 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whosthedado 1,680 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 The English seem to think it's their right to turn up and win games tough. Jeez the reaction of the defeat last night has been comical. It was only a friendly and it was against a fairly strong team. Maybe they need to realise they aint as good as some of them seem to think 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
