Warm-Up Friendlies

Start like this next Saturday and Italy will be 5 up by half time
Don't know about 5-0, but it wasn't great. I thought Henderson looked OK, and I wonder whether it's coincidence that Liverpool lost their way when he was suspended at the end of the season. Sturridge's finishing was woeful, and we can't afford that sort of profligacy against Italy or Uruguay. Rooney looks as out of shape as he nearly always does in majors, and I really wouldn't object to Barkley replacing him. Gerrard was firmly in hollywoodball mode, which didn't help. Johnson was embarrassingly poor of course. Does Stones play RB? Surely he can't be any worse. It's a huge shame that Oxlade C got injured, as he would add so much to what we saw last night.

Mind you, Hodurus really were a bunch of thugs. How their number 7 wasn't sent off for belting the ball at a prone Sturridge was beyond me.

France look pretty sharp. Especially compared to a lot of the other big teams in their final friendlies.
