    Just grinding a meat skewer into my ear trying to drown out Andy Townsend...

    "Well that's international football!"

    NO!!!!!!! THATS SHIT DEFENDING!

    On what planet should Milner be a right-back? Getting ripped apart down his side.

    How is Chris Smalling in this squad? Good god he is terrible.

    Luke Shaw and Smalling really not covering themselves in glory there.

    Milner also failed to close down and stop the cross. He failed to position himself between the ball and the goal, basic positional play.

    How many games has Milner ever started at right back?

    Camera operators doing my nut in. Following the ball in the air and really jerky movements and shit fast zoom shots. Making it impossible to concentrate on the football. No wonder the yanks don't like football.

    We Look alright Attacking wise , Yet Ecuador are No Italy or Uruguay

    Defensively we're a mess , What anyone sees in Smalling I will never know , Another English youngster who's in the team because of Playing for united , ( Cleverely , Welbeck etc ....)

    I get the sense that this formation is a test for the plan B's. Milner won't start there, but may have to fill in there. Like Foster, Smalling, Shaw and even Rooney on the left. Hodgson's seeing how they get on, or at least, giving the a trial run.

    Lovely move there from Chamberlain and Barkley. The youngsters showing the rest how to do it.

    In a way should be a good thing this. If there is anyone left on the planet who thinks we are getting out of our group they can all lock themselves in the same stationary cupboard!

    23mins played. Can we officially declare the Milner at Right Back experiment a failure?

    Very enjoyable tempo to the game for a friendly.

    Do like the look of Barkley

    Milner is so shocking. Even in his preferred central midfield he can't control the ball properly or pick out a pass or tackle. He's like a slightly more versatile cleverley

    Can we officially declare the Chris Smalling as a footballer experiment a failure?

    Possibly the worst goal of all time there. Suits our play.
  • Both these friendlies have shown everyone how bad we are at right back.

    God help us if any of the first choice back 5 get injured or suspended. All over the place defensively.

    Did this Back Four and keeper having a training session together? No organisation whatsoever.

    Ben Foster has already been out of his box more than Courtney Love in the last ten years

    Shaw looking good, I wonder if Baines or Shaw could play on the right?
