That's why Young and Welbeck are making easy runs around them, right?

the only time their defense has been surpassed with an "easy run" has been when milner fucked up his chance. the other times theyve been playing their line perfectly for the offside, and i even recall the so called blistering speed welbeck kicking the ball to run behind it and mexes catching up to him easily.
 
Both Sweden and Ukraine have some pretty good chances, I'm surprised nobody has scored a goal yet. Quite a fun match to watch, Ukraine has more potential than I expected.
 
I though England played well. had the better chances, kept France to long shots, and none of that stupid pass the ball backwards as soon as you cross the halfway line junk. far more positive in defence and attack.
 
seems like arsenal has just agreed a 13m fee for giroud with montpellier. pretty good signing, poor montpellier lost their main man though :(

wonder what this means regarding rvp. also wenger has a left foot fetish.
 
obviously, france's weakpoint is at centre-back. koscielny is pretty bad but probably better than mexes and rami. why doesn't he start is beyond me.

also weird that debuchy who is very suspect defensively starts ahead of an established and possibly world class right back like sagna. i mean the guy has everything you want in a full-back.
 
lol.. Koscielny 'pretty bad'? Plus you had no idea Sagna was out with a broken leg..

I'm assuming you don't really pay attention to much. He's far from bad.. and if anything.. the most improved player in the league for 2011/2012. A real quality and dependable back now.
 
Give him a break, he's a Liverpool fan - matters regarding top 4 clubs are totally superfluous to him.

A lot of people now owe me some money, why was no-one banking on him to get the job even when he won the Champions League? Yes he parked the bus, but Abramovich is obsessed with silverware and Di Matteo's got that for him.

Because Di Matteo is a distinctly unglamourous, average manager and the only reason he has been hired is to keep the seat warm for Pep. He's an idiot, should have taken more notice of the interest he was supposed to have from Italy..
 
i don't think di matteo is 'average'. he barely commited any mistakes during the time he was managing, i'd rate him higher than, say, roy hodgson (but i guess he's actually surprising everyone with that poor squad)
