England 1
Lampard (9)
Germany 2
Kuranyi (26)
Pander (40)
Venue: Wembley Stadium
Kick Off: 8pm, Wednesday, 22 August 2007
Referee: Massimo Puscaba (Switzerland)
Well that was another interesting friendly match for the 3 Lions. Geetting beaten by Germany at home has become a bad habit. The stat man on the tele mentioned this is our 5th home defeat in a row to the Germans - not good.
Lampard played well today, funnily enough without Gerrard in the side due to an injured toe. Another player who played well is the Man City youngster Micah Richards. Joe Cole looked our most accomplished operator today.
Apart from the first 10 minutes where Lampard scored, there was alot of huffing and puffing, but no more goals.
# Paul Robinson won't be happy with his performance in goal.
# John Terry missed alot of passes today and did not look match fit to me.
# Rio Ferdinand went off injured at half time.
# Shorey did okay for his second cap, but is not as good as Ashley Cole.
# Carrick played another average game.
# David Beckham looked half fit. Probably bacause he's carrying an ankle injury.
# Alan Smith tried hard, but was innefective today.
# Michael Owen needs to play for Newcastle before England, even in friendlies.
Farbeit for me to tell an England manager what to do, I will say what I would like to see.
If we are to play a 442, I would like to see some pace on atleast 1 flank. Some proper speed up front and a bit of size and/or physical presence alongside. A playmaker in the middle with vision, next to a genuine ballwinner who has a bit of aggression, who can tackle and can run.
Come on England!
