Honeymoon is Over
The honeymoon is now definitely over after last night’s performance.
Forget Robbo, I think he was the best player on the pitch, he certainly kept England in the Game in the first half by making 2 great saves. First Goal maybe he could have done better from a corner he opted to punch away when he could have caught it and it never got cleared.
It kept coming into the box and then when the cross came over he was still going forward - if he were in the right position he would have picked the ball up easily.
The second just disguised the fact we were never going to score against Croatia and got everyone talking about a freak goal instead of the main reason why England played so badly.
Ok 3-5-2 was a waste of time; the boys mainly use 4-4-2 so they are not going to be great at this new formation, however here are a few more points I want to get of my chest
1) why is the fittest player in the England set-up not playing his football in England but in Germany (Hargreaves). Have they better methods than us?
2) We pick players who are not playing in their firstteam so why are they good for the England set-up (Wright-phillips and Richardson)
3) Gary Neville was doing a lot of crossing last night, he does not do this for club so why country.
4) Are you telling me that Beckham would not have delivered more for England last night then some of the midfield?
5) Terry was supposed to make the players more of a team with a strong Captaincy well where was it last night?
6) Rooney's form, how long does it continue without people realising that something has changed with him. I don’t know what, but he is not enjoying football like he use too when he first entered the game. People said pressure never gets to him, well we know now that he is just human after all and only should be called world class when he has done something.

"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that." - Bill Shankly
