did anyone watch the England B game last night?
Thought Aaron Lennon had a cracking game, very impressive.
Crouch was quiet and didn't instill me with much confidence.
Owen looked sharp but didn't see much of the ball.
Hargreaves was shocking at right back, but Sol looked somewhere near getting back to form as did Ashely Cole.
Carrick was ok, Jenas wasn't great despite his goal.
Feel sorry for Green, looked a horrible injury. How dark does a 'ruptured groin' sound?!?! :eek:
First glimpses of Walcott who played half an hour. Didn't see much from him but he looked comfortable enough.

i saw it, they were crap except for Lennon.
I think he was really calm and patient too when that bloke kept fouling him all the time

You feeling alright mate?
I thought that we played pretty abysmally tbh. Our goal was offside and we were playing against 10 men for a good deal of the second half, who the fuck are Belarus anyway?
Hargreaves is a fucking joke, me and Gabs were HATING on him so much lol, Lennon was heavy tho and Walcott looked impressive at times.

All about what's best for England mate, whether they be a gooner or a yiddo mate!!
I've been a supporter of hargreaves as a possible utility man, but he was terrible last night, absolute gash!!

Walcott looked like he could pull something out of the bag in future games - know Sven was testing people out but 2-1 to Belarus - aw phuleese !!

Hargreaves is always absolute gash for England

Would rather take Neville to Germany over Hargreaves personally, Hargreaves is only versatile because he isn't real any good in any position on the pitch, lol
Carrick looked a bit poor last night I thought, glad we have better options in that part of the field, not a fan of Jenas or Downing at the moment either really
Did anyone see when Belarus hit the post in the first half? James just jumped backwards into the net, what a useless prick...
Cambell, Carragher, Ashley Cole and Lennon looked good so at least there are some positives to retain from the 90 mins of shit I watched last night, Owen will get sharper as time goes on and I think Crouch just needs a little bit more time (he's only got 5 caps thus far).

Lennon has been roasting people all season.
If Walcott can emulate Lennons Form then we have an exciting front line
Carrick will suit the international game with time on the ball, and helps us finally with plan b ie pushing lamps and gerrard forward behind a striker
Walcott had one good effort but didnt show anyhting new
Downing was awful
Rest of the time gash
