I took some notes while watching the England vs Paraguay game.
Englands' Positive;
- Seems to know the ball
- Lampard and Gerrard plays forward first time off the pass from Beckham they don't even attempt to control the ball.
- Hustled a lot in the first 20mins.
- Were trying to go through the middle.
Negatives;
-Played to deep at the back for them trying to play attacking football
- Could not find any forward
- Forwards could not create space or lose their markers
- Owen and Crouch has no idea about one another, thus Owen end up out of position cause Crouch is tactically retarded
- When pressured their paases became erractic and non-directional
- Defense gets desperate when pressure and becomes susceptible to silly mistakes
- For some reason they seem to avoid playin on the left side alot
* To beat England (I think) we need to step and allow them to play back, this is when we press as a team. Careful about the counter.
*If Beckham wants to cross from just over their half let him do it. But we must not allow the mids to get the ball when Beckham bring it over into our half. This is where Rooney and Owen speed will come in cause then the mids splits the defenseand puts Beckham closer to the goal making it more dangerous. Â
