That was pure justice. Spain's equalizer was an offside goal. What the heck does de Gea have to do to get a game?

I just thought, why fuck we playing 1 striker vs San Marino TT.
Sack Roy PLEASE. Chambers is not a right back either, making same mistake stupid Wenger is. He is going to be a good centre back, play him there. Just like Phil Jones will be a good centre back. He has to play there, not as right back!!!!

We played a 4-4-2 diamond until very near the end. There are only three strikers in the squad. It was right to try something else when we were absolutely coasting rather than throwing on Lambert.

He played Chambers there because he played Stones there and Chambers was called up to replace Stones. I don't think either are natural right backs but I also don't really think that we have many good right-backs so it's a work in progress. If you consider Johnson to be a good right back then I don't even.

I guess what I am saying is calm the fuck down. We won 5-0 at an absolute canter. Jeez...

It sounds like you're literally the reason papers like The Sun sell newspapers during international games...

o_O



Theres a guy called Clyne in the team who had been called up, who like Gibbs is by far the best player in that position and IS a natural right back. Baines has lost alot and Gibbs deserved his spot over him. Clyne deserves that right back slot right now. Maybe Dier will have something to say about that soon too, he is also a good right back. Chambers is not a right back, i don't see the point of playing people in positions they are shite in at the highest level just because you can.

Formation is an issue and always will be for me when i consider the best talent we have out wide, especially when Walcott is back. Walcott and Sterling on each wing is extreme pace and both players like to run at their opponents, that cannot happen in a 4-4-2 diamond. Then you have Barkley, he is also a staggering talent, where does he fit into a 4-4-2 diamond. Maybe he wants to cross that bridge when he gets to it i don't know.

But also the way England played yesterday was trying to be a team that they will never be. They couldn't pass through a wall of part timers, how are they going to fair when they play a wall of full timers in Estonia or Lithuania. It won't work. The only reason we beat Switzerland was because they attacked and we counter attacked. With pace, which is what we have a lot of. I would never be happy with a 5-0 "breeze" vs a bunch of part timers. Poland, the mighty offensive force they are beat Gibraltar 7-0 in their first european qualifier and im pretty sure i'd fancy England to have more offense than them....

lol what an opportune time for De Gea to have his best game vs. Everton. I think he doesn't organize the defense well enough but his reflexes are world-class and he's improved so much in the air, when he first came he would bobble every cross.

And who will replace Casillas in Spain ? De Gea ? Lol. Xabi and Xavi left the national team because they are too old now and better players can take their places. Casillas still has at least one EURO cycle in front of him.
Casillas' performance in the season so far is great(considering Real's defense) and I can't see why people hate on him so much.

Casillas has had both great perfomances and horrid ones this season so far.

Bravo on the other hand has played 7 Liga games for Barça without a single goal conceded.

Good keepers for Spain are probably De Gea and Diego López.

There is no point playing him if he isn't up for the task/job. De Gea is showing how good he is now and don't forget how young he is. Casillas nearly cost Real Madrid La Decima last season..he was shocking in the World Cup at fault for many goals conceded and he has not started this season very well at all either.
There has to become a time to replace, Alonso and Xavi have replacements in the national team already in Koke and 1 of their other 100 awesome centre mids lol. De Gea - Diego Lopez - Reina and even Valdes probably better than Casillas right now

Fabregas and Iniesta are much better than Koke tho. That kid is mad overrated, a big fluke imo

Valdés was just awesome right before he the long-term injury >.<

Yep... I agree. He was. He made mistakes. He was shocking(as well as the rest of the Spanish team) at the WC. Now he is on form and performs well. Hell, he saved Real's ass last week vs Ludogorets and had clean sheet this weekend.
De Gea - Diego Lopez - Reina and even Valdes probably better than Casillas right now

How can you make such conclusions ? How many of their games did you watch, this season ? Just a reminder. Valdes and Reina have 0 games this season, because they can't even make it in the starting line-up. Diego Lopez is injured... Come on.

Yeah but with Koke you get that thing where he runs back and tries to win the ball
The other two you mentioned not so good at that side of the game ! But yes that is a good point, but i did mention that Spain has 010010101010101010101011001 midfielders to choose from. It is quite staggering how they can even lose a game of football still.

De Gea won Man Utd the game vs Everton last weekend, made some immense saves. He hasn't had Petr Cech moments or Courtios moments where he has single handedly kept them in games somehow over long time, but he has not done much wrong in the last 12 months. I admit in the first 12 months of De Gea Yanited career he was not that good. He is now more than capable of taking over from old man Casillas.
I said those in the form they have shown. Lopez for Real Madrid proved he is better than Casillas already when he was chosen by Mourinho AND Ancelotti over Casillas. That speaks volumes, yes he is injured now but i was just saying the potential replacements he has.
Valdes is injured too and is clubless, rumor has it he is on his way to Liverpool once fit and he will be sure no1 there due to how bad Mignolet is. He too could replace Casillas now, due to how poor Casillas has been.
Reina went to sit on the bench at Bayern for an easy way out, free trophies and working with Pep. Yes he probably might be the only one in my sentence that isn't justifiable but i will still give him a go. The might Slovakia should not be beating Spain TT

Casillas hasn't been at the same level of performance since his hand injury in 2012 and his relegation as a substitute player during the Mou era. It seems like he has become one of those players that do not play because of his recent performance but because of their past and what they represent in RM/national team.

De Gea and Diego López are much better right now.
