reddogkev Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I've heard that tonight's friendly is in Alicante, being played at the airport, somewhere between two of the seldom used runways. I know some folk say they don't care about England, especially friendlies, but I'm not one of those folk. I reckon England will win 1 - 0 with Kane scoring the goal. Hope to see a good show from the lads as they continue their unbeaten march to European glory in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Don't understand why the Spanish haven't picked Messi. Must think we are a rollover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I don't understand the reasoning behind the starting line up tonight. We knew we had qualified long ago and had games against Estonia, Lithuania and San Marino. Why didn't we experiment against those teams? Potentially our toughest test before euros and we are experimenting. Win or lose tonight, would this 11 start the first game of the euros? I highly doubt it.

Spain much easier on the eye, but we have caused a few problems down their left. Our shooting has been awful, but at least a few times got in a position to have a go.

I'm pleased that Roy has accepted we cannot pursue a possession game against the top nations as they will easily out pass us. Thought we started to grow into the game after about 20 mins and packing the team with pace is the best way to go. Keep things solid at the back and look to pick up something on the counter. Oh and practice penalties for half of every training session! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people, (I'm not one of them), believe we should have an English manager. Well, in the Premier League, there are now just four of them : Pardew, Pulis (!), McClaren & Howe. The only one I would consider suitable would be Howe, and that would be in around 5 years time, after he has proven himself in the P.L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider-manc Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 It's not a great game buts it's interesting in terms of style. Spains high press and quality passing vs England sitting deep and being direct with pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
