we dont have a single player capable of playing that defense splitting pass to create a chance when wilshere isnt playing

wayne rooney gets a lot of stick but a romario or marco van basten wouldnt score any goals in this team as nobody creates any chances

You are allowed to catch an easy ball like that Hart.

I don't like Rooney playing on his own up top when we're playing at home. Much better now he has a partner in Kane.

One of the things that annoys me with teams not giving 100% - short changing the fans and those who put money on them to win.

true

rooney is probably the only player capable of the sort of pass i mentioned now gerrard has retired

i would have fired hodgson after the disastrous world cup simply because of the tortuous brand of football we play under him, i fail to see what he has done to be given the chance of another major tournament

Good effort Milner, only 20 yards wide.

Don't worry, Eddie Howe will take us to glory at some point in the future!
