Allow me to make a case for Frank Lampard

[Snoeker]

As the new and improved Andy Cole.

 

Needs more than 7 chances per goal. I hope Sven now gets the message and plays the Liverpool (Carra Holding) Midfield. Or some other way that actually utilises their best fit player.

Never happen, sadly.

Such as...?

 

Carra - central defender

Hargreaves - not good enough

Phil Neville - ditto

Parker - not in squad and injured

King - same

Carrick - not a holding midfielder

 

I'll be honest, after today's performance I'd definitley look into tweaking the midfield but there isnt a wealth of options availible. And there's no point experimenting during the tournament, might aswell look to beat Sweden and build up some momentum/continuity.

[R A Softlad]

I think Hargreaves would do a great job.

Got or shot?

Got, shot - how can they tell the difference?

You England supporters must be seething. Witht he talent available to you and how this imbecile sets them up, negating the individual threat.

I swear I'd be hopping mad were it Eire.

as long as our lads do well and don't get injured i personally couldn't give a s*** how the World Cup turns out for England..

 

EDIT: oh and as for Lampard, as i said earlier, without deflections he's a fkin fraud.. the MOTD highlights throughout a season also should show each shot he has apart from the one he scores (deflected) cos if last night was anything to go by then he needs about 12 shots before one goes in (off someone's heel or other).. last night, despite me not really caring about the outcome of the game, he just pissed me off.. like the kid in school who wants all the glory for himself.. prick..

Flip side being if Crouch, Gerrard or Lampard pick up a second yellow, you won't exactly have continuty going into the Germany/Ecuador game.

it's insane mate. £5m a year for playing players out of position, unfit or on reputation. a fraud is the manager.

[Knox_Harrington]

bought to you by the same people that have no idea what role Emerson has performed for Brazil and Juve

What role has he performed? I must admit to being genuinely mystified by how he gets a game of football.

[quibs]

Sven is just a bloke from the FA...

 

No idea what he is doing, picks people on his name..

 

Gerrard should be the one to be the team is built around, but we'll never see it happen.

 

Not bothered about Engalnd, just want Crouchy, Gerrard and Carra to do well and come back fit...

[jimmylibel]

Whatever happened to the "Allow me to make a case for..." thread titles. Need reviving I say.

[sutty]

After you've made the case put his clothes in it and tell him to f*** off back to chelsea.

Things cannot be new AND improved. They can only be one or the other.

Yes they can.

 

If it was old and improved - it'd be the original version but improved.

 

New and improved is like an advanced prototype.

 

Yours,

A PEDANT, not pendant (Mr. )

[Coyler]

Yes they can.

New and improved is like an advanced prototype.

The ubiquitousness of this handy, everyday phrase completely backing up the distinction you make.

[ManxRed]

If something is new there was no old version to be improved upon.

 

If something is improved there was obviously a previous version of it and hence it cannot be new.

It's PEDANT not Pendant....

[ManxRed]

Pendant is the new and improved version of the word pedant.

Eire? You mean England C?
