Peck1961 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Why listen, when I can watch!! The equaliser had been coming, since going 1-0 down, Belarus have been coming at us quite strongly! Midfield is not looking balanced again, but it's early days yet, still think England will sneak home 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peck1961 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 2-1 England, 50 mins gone. Great work by Heskey down the inside left channel, low cross for Rooney, who first finishes first time at the near post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Great result, but still same old problems in midfield. Gerrard and lampard look ok when going forward but Belarus at times dominated the midfield because the pair are not defensively minded. To be fair both appeared lazy and when the ball did break they were trotting along miles behind. England cannot have that luxury. They obviously cannot play together so it is time to leave one of them out as England need a balanced midfield and it just is not there. With Hargreaves and possibly Carrick in the midfield England will look better. Walcott is still playing hot and cold, but not Heskey and Rooney who are fast becoming a good pairing. The defence seemed ok although they had to work hard when Gerrard and Lampard went missing and let Belarus have the freedom of the park. Overall ok and the win will give them plenty of confidence after all it is the best start England have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peppermint Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 No matter how the game went there will always be some improvements that can be made and I am sure when Hargreaves is fit he will play a part. Cappelo seems an astute manager and he is gradually building a good team and it is great to look at the table and see England in the clear. The England manager does not seem the type to rest on his laurels but will seeking to improve the team at every opportunity.
