NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLAN!

[On The Edge of Insanity]

We were so unlucky not to get a point, the Defoe offsides, and our last ten minute flurry deserved at least one goal.

As far as Nolan for England, apart from the goal and the post hit, I didn't really see what else he did in the game apart from hooking aimless balls into the corners which Diouf and Giannakopolis were too lazy to run after, and making a few tackles. I don't get the feeling he totally comfortable with the ball at his feet, and at international level that is vital. Admittably though, he definitely deserves to be in the squad if Hargreaves is constantly in it, cause Hargreaves really is truly useless.

yeah what ive been saying since euro 2004, his useless! what does he actually bring to the team??

The worst thing is that whatever the situation, Sven always brings him on. If we need a goal he comes on, if we need to keep it tight he comes on, I wouldn't be suprised if one of our goalies got injured that Hargreaves would come on to replace them.

Oh man, Bolton was as lucky as it's possible to get.

1. Defoe through 1 on 1, onside, but offside wrongly called, would have been a 100% chance.
2. Defoe through again, scores, but wrongly disallowed for offside.
3. Jenas crazy shot is stopped by Gardner, Mido hits the bar on the rebound.
4. Stalteri failed cross somehow ends up hitting the upper bar.

It was a pain to watch. 

I don't think Nolan is good enough for England, with players like Lampard, Gerrard, Carrick, Jenas, Joe Cole, King, all competing for 2 places in the center, dunno why Smith is in the national team, though he was good against Chelsea, and Wright-Phillips is hardly being used @ Chelsea..
LOL @ Young & Konchesky, England needs a right-back.. and even Heskey would be a better choice than Crouch. 

Uh...the offside goal was so close it was a simple linesman snapshot, thats football, end result was we absorbed your pressure, yes we got lucky on occasions but we too hit the upright, had decisions go against us, but it was further proof that teams have to complately alter their style of play against us.

and carrick and jenas are overrated, nolan is worth a chance, im not saying he is better than the other players but i beleive he provides another option...sven needs a solid squad throughout for the WC and testing a few other combinations before wont hurt.

I wouldn't have Nolan is the squad.  Great player but his timing is bad.  If he came into the squad now it would make a shambles of all the friendlies and games that the current squad have played in order to try and cement their place in the team. 

Great player, maybe next time.

Yeah, those offside goals, penalty decisions, red card, over/not over the line decisions always seems to go against the team you're rooting for.. 

Jenas might not be ready for England yet, but imo Carrick is the best defensive midfielder in England today..
You won't notice it unless you're paying attention to him, he isn't flashy but he's doing the dirty work, always breaking up the opponents attacks, his passes have pinpoint accuracy and great tackles, and he's still improving, players like that are priceless to the team..

As for Nolan, I didn't really notice him, Gardner, Davies & Diouf was the livewires I noticed, Nolan seems to be the type of player that can be quiet the whole game, then pop up out of nowhere to bag a goal or two..
