  • Beckham and Sven seem to have this mutual fan-club going. There is a subtext swirling around that Becks is behind the 4-5-1, because it suits himself.

    4-4-2, as Krill described.

    • - though I worry about Joe Cole. Too many stepovers, not enough product.

      • And that is (one of the reasons) why England will not have a chance to win the WC.

        Beckham is great at one thing, and one thing alone.

        Crossing from the right field.

        And he doesn't want to do that.

        So either Sven is blind and thinks that Beckham can play a central midfield role, which he blatantly can't, compared to Gerrard and Lampard, or Sven is supremely overestimating Beckhams abilty as Captain. And as he is doing that, he is showing his inabilty to be a good manager.

        So if Beckham does not go, Sven has to go too so that Beckham can be shoved out as well.


        It would cost alot, but £4,000,000 is not a a bad price for a good shot at the World Cup.

        • CH, Compare the product J.Cole gives, in addition to the improved midfield to that given by the the team yesterday.

          We don't have a lot to lose, to be frank.

          • It's more than £4M, I thought. £5M a year for another few years yet to buy him out.

                You are playing Northern-Ireland and you want to play 4-4-2?? I didn't see the game so I don't know what they played but I would go for 3-4-3 with a forward playing midfielder. It's not like you were playing Italy or Argentina. Or Holland

                • It shouldn't matter what formation England played against NI, we should still beat them.

                  • from the bbc site:

                    Said Toshack after the 1-0 defeat: "The England game on Saturday took a lot out of my players physically and mentally.

                    "Then to have to come to Poland and play the best team in the group on such a difficult occasion was a bit too much for some of my lads."

                    Well its good to see the very muted tones coming fom the other england players - i think they all must know its not good enough.

                    • Its bad enough playing people out of position, but none of the players thought about what they were doing, they just played it any way forward, no matter who the players were, the only thoughtful passing was long to SWP feet, but a decent defence wouldve learnt and dealt with that quickly.

                      England seemed obsessed with high crosses even when all they had as a target was Owen/Defoe and Rooney, its insane.

                      Seems to be real experience and football intelligence lacking all over.

                      There was one moment when Gerrard took a throw-in and someone immediately tapped it back to him (could be A. Cole or Young) in a clearly offside position and Gerrard just shook his head in disgust, and so did i.

                              • I just love this story.




                                Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd has told manager Graeme Souness that he expects him to deliver a top-six finish in the Premiership this season.
                                Newcastle are 19th in the table with one point from four games, and they have yet to score a goal.

                                When asked about his target, Shepherd told BBC Five Live: "Top six.

                                "We've spent £50m since January. We couldn't back the manager any more. Graeme has got his own team now - 10 men in and 10 men out."


                                Yet just last Sunday Fat Freddie was reported in another BBC story.


                                Shepherd sees the arrival of Owen as the final piece of the transfer jigsaw for Newcastle, but maintained there was no extra pressure on boss manager Graeme Souness to deliver results.



                                I wonder what odds the bookies are giving on Souness being gone by Christmas?
                                Never give an AI an even break.
