Useless International matches

[clockwork orange]

So what's up everywhere?

Hiddinks announced that Holland will not play 5-3-2, 3-5-2 or any other combination of those digits any more.

JVP will remain captain, so will play a lot also in useless dangerus friendlies v Italy. Robben and Hunterlaar are out with minor injuries.

Wonder how the new England era will start. I would have picked Rooney too.

I bet Ox gets injured. Just feel it coming...

 

[Buhry]

\ For once I'm interested in a Norway game, if only because the opposition has some Arsenal players Shame Welbeck is out, not sure he would have started anyway though. Wilshere and Chamberlain start for england apparently.

We are so ****e these days it's a joke, England really should win comfortably.

 

[GDeep™]

We're probably seeing signs tonight at what direction England are looking to go - Stones, Jones, Wilshere, Henderson, Ox and Sterling all starting.

Feels like a 'new England' with no Gerrard and Lampard, both last of the "Golden Generation".

Rooney needs to look for the ball more tonight and makes things happen, he's England's number 10 and shouldn't just pass of the responsibility to the deeper players.

Golden shower generation?

Neither Özil nor Poldi are starting for Germany tonight.

Why don't we just put all the internationals together at the end of the season? That way, the players not involved in internationals get a longer break, the international teams get a solid month+ to play qualifiers or to prepare for tournaments, and it won't feel so stop start between the domestic and international seasons.

Are you actually suggesting Fifa be logical?

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Good point, let's keep it the way things are.

p.s. just thought as well, it'll be less likely that players return to their clubs injured.

Wembley is nice and full

 

[blrgooner]

Wilshere and Ox are getting a good run out here. Wilshere especially looks very good here.

 

[Buhry]

Sturridge has brilliant close control, great dribbler.

 

[bingobob]

Wilshere playing very well Ox a few bobbled touches. Sterling has the lot how did we let him end up at Liverpool, I'm sure Wenger is thinking that.

 

[Bigbludfire]

If Henderson wasn't English and didn't have a good work rate then he'd be playing for West Brom. I hate these types of players.

 

[Buhry]

Wilshere is doing ok, 3-4 very good passes.

Chamberlain is all over the place positionally, sometimes he's at right back, sometimes DM, sometimes CF, even though he has a lot of space on the right.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Bendtner lording it as usual.

I thought WIlshere was one of the best players in the half along with Sterling.
Ox still has some way to go before he discovers how to use his game effectively IMO. He is obviously very talented. He is just not sure about where he should be on the football pitch IMO. Seems a bit frustrated too.
I do think he will end up being a great player for us in the future though. Wenger just needs to find an ideal place for him.

 

[stiiphunn]

Sterling and Sturridge are pretty impressive tbh. Jack was also pretty good. Not too impressed by OX though - a bit all over the place and a few dodgy touches.
