First was that stupid 'diamond' that he had the players experimenting with for so long. I think he finally put that one to bed and settled on 4-4-2 as the 'English' game plan (although he did try 4-3-3 with Rooney as the backup man).<BR/><BR/>Second was that our world-beating super-heroes were 'tired'. And that was true - in the World Cup and Euro, they did look tired. That was the bit that disgusted me. Remember when you were a kid, you'd go to the local park, pick teams (coats for goalposts), and play football from dawn to dusk? Rain or shine?<BR/><BR/>What is wrong with these professional athletes? But I think you're wrong about the long ball jibe. Sven's style was always to get them to play it through. <BR/><BR/>MacLaren's side has had to resort to long balls once the back four have faffed about playing it back and forward across midfield for 80 minutes. We should have stuffed Israel. but we never actually attacked them.<BR/><BR/>Anyway mate - you don't want to sell, that's your business. Looks like Warnock the week before the season starts......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12154887.post-66827546329357785012007-06-30T13:26:00.000+01:002007-06-30T13:26:00.000+01:00I hate the thought of this take over.
