The England Thread

[DJS]

Sterlings doing really well this season. He's had a hand in over half of City's goals so far this season. Apparently he didn't like the way he was coached when he first joined City but Pep has been helping him already in training and he seems to have his confidence back.

Meh sterling is a primadonna ****

According to Sky, should be 4-2-3-1:

Hart
Walker, Cahill, Stones, Rose
Dier, Henderson
Lallana, Rooney, Sterling
Kane​

Not too bad. Glad its 4231.

Urgh Henderson, Rooney and Sterling still in there...

Sterling deserves to be there based of this season so far.

Reality is though we don't have loads of much better options. It's going to be more about how they play as a unit imo. Hopefully Sam can make them better as a team than the sum of their parts.

Let's just hope he doesn't play as awfully as he did in the summer then as that was bad...

 

[longtimespur]

He seems to have improved under Pep. so far this season.

 

[NickHSpurs]

Let's hope we have a convincing win, should help our boys get the Euros out of their head

Most non spurs prob saying that about kane

Sterling started the season well

 

[Ghost Hardware]

I hope Alli gets some minutes, he is looking really off the mark at the moment. Hopefully Kane will grab a goal as well.

 

[aliyid]

Not too bothered about Big Sam picking the same players as options are limited.

What I'm looking for is for them to play with more freedom. Always felt like they played within themselves under Roy and were rigidly sticking to a system rather than expressing themselves.

Sounds like he wants to get the players enjoying themselves while on international duty rather than seeing it as a boot camp

 

[king26]

agree

 

[Flynn]

I can forgive most of them but I'm sick of seeing Rooney lorded like the second coming.

Talking of cum, what is that on the window behind lee Dixon?

 

[widmerpool]

Their song is better. And they have a pet buzzard.

 

[ClintEastwould]

The fated first match of Sam Allardyce's illustrious England reign. We will all remember where we were on this day years from now as we tell our children and children's children. Bask in the moment.

 

[Flynn]

Kane in the box for a corner.

Refreshing.

Buts its only been 2 games, last season he started the season really well before giving up around november

 

[idontgetit]

That's a great tackle

 

[widmerpool]

Nothing here yet to suggest that Kane is over his Augustitis.

 

[heelspurs]

Gotta say Big Sam is properly utilizing Dier and the CBs thus far.
