Not a good start. Getting out of our half would be an improvement. David Platt needs to shut up as well.
phil neville truely is garbage.has he actually completed a single pass yet? i think the team needs more patience here .hopefully lampard can stop being invisible and actually do something.
phil neville doesnt want to defend his touchline. he comes infield to stand next to the central defence every time. basically allows macedonia a free run to the edge of the box every time. only hargreaves and ferdinand look anything close to competent so far. the rest stink. crouch is falling around like a hapless giraffe.
midfield need to take a grip here. hargreaves his trying his best but getting no support from the other 3. lennon should appear at some point.
I'm only listening on the radio but this sounds like an awful game. The dreadful BBC commentators are just insult to injury.
We really are up shit creek for right backs if Neville the elder is out. Crouch should have had a penalty for that shirt pull.
Absolute cack. Apart from Hargreaves, midfield is dreadful. Crouch and Defoe are non existent. Defence apart from Mong Neville is doing ok.
Take off Fat Frank and Neville at half time and bring on Wes Brown and Lennon. Frank is nigh on invisible and is letting the Macedonians overwhelm Hargreaves, at least with Gerrard in there we'd get some control.
neville cant pass,tackle or cross. id give this lineup 15 more minutes.. then it will be time to send lennon in.
Crouch was man handled down in the box.. Should have been a P.K. He also should have finished on that header late... His old habits of falling down are resurfacing.. P. Nev has been shite..I see some substitutions coming...
