I've removed the players I know to be injured from the above lists... So starting line-ups for tonight, anyone? Mine, from that squad, would be: ---------------Robinson--------------- Richards----Ferdinand---Terry----Barry Dyer---Gerrard---Hargreaves---Downing -----------Rooney--------------------- ---------------------Johnson---------- Would definitely bring Lennon on as an impact player later; I think he's more dangerous against a tiring defence. It would also (in theory) finally lay to rest the argument that Downing is of international quality - but for the impact player factor, I'd have Lennon on the left; I honestly believe he'd be better there (out of position) than Downing, based on past performances for England. Cole's a lazy cretin who only performs when the rest of the team does; Barry would actually have some hunger and do the job. There's talk of dropping Hargreaves, but for who? Carrick? Don't think so. Parker? Just not the same standard. Hargreaves showed in the world cup that he can attack and that he has the balls to work hard; let's see it here! I'm predicting a scrappy 1-0 win, maybe getting a second towards the death as Andorra get desperate to salvage a draw. I know we've been a pile of wank recently, but surely we can win this one? (Of course, if we played using pace and aggression down the wings, with support up front from the central midfielders like everyone but McClaren knows we should, we'd probably get 3 or 4 :  |

Not bad Neko san.... you're probably right, but personally I'd give Becks the re-call and stick him on the right...

Like I said, based on the squad above. Becks still has plenty to offer the team, without a doubt - I'd use him tactically depending on the opposition though (weak against set pieces = Becks on right, weak against runners = Dyer/Lennon on right with Becks on bench)

Andorra have been fucking awful throughout, ain't they? Not the sort of opposition we could do with after all! |

Well, a totally shambolic first half and a much improved, though still uninspiring 2nd half! I think only Gerrard and Micah Richards can come out of the game with any credit, though Nugent looked lively when he came on! Mind you, Andorra are a disgrace!! |

Well, not pretty but in the end, it's definitely the 3pts that count. First half, toothless, ineffective and rightly booed off the field but the quality of the strikes were the difference. Andorra were, predictably, very poor and it's pretty disgusting that they adopted such tactics of hack 'em down and piss them them off, hardly surprising Rooney got subbed.
Downing, is rubbish; completely ineffective at international level and countless times Lennon was drawn over to the left to practically help him out.

Were they like San Marino, more interested in rolling around as if a sniper had shot them They were rolling round, throwing elbows, mouthing off, doing stuff behind the ref's back; everything, really. I have to admit, I reckoned before the game that 3-0 would do me nicely, given our recent form, and we got it. On paper, I can't complain. Performances left a lot to be desired as a rule, but job done in this encounter, at least. |
