Monkeh Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 17 hours ago, cynic said: There is always a major mistake in Joe Hart and I cringe every time he gets a pass back. He is a liability with the ball at his feet, too cocky (with no reason). For me, he is the weakest part of the England team and, with Smalling and Cahill at centre back, that is saying a lot. The lad is vastly over rated and shouldn't be anywhere near the England team imo. Having said that, this must be one of the worst eras for England goal keepers. he is the second best keeper in england, Forster, Hart, Butland in that order, considering we have to take 3 keepers then hart would make the squad regardless, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butland's fracture against Germany didn't cover him in glory... but that aside he is Mr Consistent. I'd reverse that order personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider-manc Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 A lot of criticism of Hart on here. Yes he is cocky but having watched him on a regular basis at champs league games this season all I can say is he is a class act. He was at fault for the Wales goal and he has had some dodgy moments recently but form is temporary class is permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted June 5, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Was amazed this evening listening to Sterling at the England press day that the gun tattoo that the press went nuts about last week he had done last AUGUST!

There always seem to be a story about a player, or manager, fights, arguments or something just before a major tournament ? I've heard it mentioned before but just ignored it , but this fits right into that idea. Could have ran the story almost a year ago, but waits until they can sensationalise it linking it with England/World Cup . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think a 3 at the back formation will be much better for the squad in general. We have an abundance of talent in attacking midfielders and wingbacks, not wingers. Sterling, Alli and Lingard all work best as roaming but generally central players. Vardy will definitely have more impact off the bench imo. Kane up top, maybe with Sterling, with one of Alli or Lingard linking up behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happened before every tournament as far back as I can remember The agenda against Sterling appears to be particularly personal. I cant find it now but in the wake of the gun tattoo fall out there was a thread of all the stories that had made front page news about Sterling from him eating a greggs sausage roll and flying via EasyJet, to not cleaning his car. If that's not a witch hunt then its just plain odd. I actually like the guy, he's fought back from a lot of criticism and had a blinder this season. His attitude certainly seems right. He still needs to improve his finishing, he's scored a lot of goals this season but he still misses many good chances - 2 spring to mind in the first half on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 I like Sterling as a footballer and what I’ve read of him and heard from him as a person Considering where he grew up he’s stayed away from trouble and appears reasonably down to earth considering his wealth Takes a lot of bumps and rough treatment on the pitch ,often with little complaint but gets up and goes again Doesnt pull out of squads with niggles Think the gun tattoo wasn’t a great choice , but in the whole scheme of things ....... One of our most talented players and I wish the press would leave him the ***** alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 They can`t help themselves. I`ve still not forgiven them for trying to stich up Sven before the 2006 World Cup just because the tabloid press had decided he needed to be sacked - bear in mind the players threatened to strike if he was.

EnderMB Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 It amazes me how many opportunities The Sun have been given by football fans. Just today, I saw someone sat in Bedminster on a building site reading the back pages of The Sun, and all of this is despite: Hillsborough Repeated attacks on the England camp during international tournaments Hounding footballers based on the colour of their skin IMO, enough is enough. More clubs outside of Liverpool should ban The Sun journalists from their premises, and fans should stop buying their shit-rags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Media hounding against Sterling have been nothing short of disgraceful, articles of where he shops, Tattoo’s, how is missus is hard done by etc there’s plenty more, leave the bloke alone FFS he’s done F All wrong. It’s mainly The S*n, but clearly are trying to destroy the mans career (just before a major tournament as usual) then will complain what bottlers the players are when we exit at whatever stage, despite them digging up whatever they can on someone within the squad to try and destroy their confidence. The UK Media is a joke all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
