Coleman and Naismith handed starts

And Coleman? Named mentioned in the best RBs next season and the best 2 years from now. Can you believe how fast this kid's come along?

Why Baines never played is beyond me as there was no attacking threat down England's left side without him. If this is the best that England can provide then something is wrong as the only ones that played any good were the two players in central defence who were supposed to be the weak link.

Looks as Everton are not the only ones who struggle to defend corners but you expect more from the national team.

Scotland are really dire and Naismith fits right in.

Ex Blue Tim was easily MotM and shone like a beacon in a sea of gloom. He scored one of his 'trade mark' headers and had three other attempts brilliantly saved. On top of that, he worked like a devil all over the field.

Every time I see the likes of Naismith in the shirt I think we could've had Tim loan for the run-in and it makes me sick.

Getting rid of Cahill was the right thing to do. We all love the guy but I really think the decision to let him go was a good one. Any loan would have been a real backward step too, in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I'd have him instead of Naismith... but I'd have much rather we used Barkley, Oviedo, McAleny etc rather than just persisting with the same tired few.

I must say, when Naismith first joined I thought we'd signed a bargain. He did look genuinely neat and tidy. Now, like everyone, I've resigned myself to the fact that he is almost certainly a flop. However, being that Moyes clearly likes him, it does surprise me that the lad hasn't been given a chance in his favoured position – just off the striker. He does have a goal in him too. If he's hopeless then ok, at least we tried it.

You just have to look at how long Moyes played Osman out of position for another example of some crazy Moyes management.

It does seem as though the fans have to cry out for months and months before Moyes finally relents on his decisions. He's a really odd bloke, you know.

While I agree with your views on Moyes and the young ones I still believe that in our current situation with so much hanging in the balance it was really stupid not to accept a loan of Tim. He said he would love to get the offer.

Perhaps Moyes thought Leroy Fer was lined up which only goes to show that a bird in the hand is worth two — or, in Everton's case, make that TEN —m in the bush.

Although Naismith is not great, he is being played out of position on the wing. What is Osman's and Neville's excuse playing in their preferred position? How many more goals have they scored than Naismith? It must be a lot, they play every week... Neville not so much now. Oh, that's right: Osman scored a cracker, deliberate as well, he did mean to scuff the ground to gave the ball curve and swerve.

Fuck me right wing is not our problem, strength, guile and a good passing game is what is needed in the middle. Osman is still being played out of position, he is in the run on side ffs.

Also, I wonder how good Mexico actually is. Is their stadium such a fortress because they usually play CONCACAF sides, would they be as good in CONMEBOL?

We have wasted enough money to have signed Fer in wages paid for benchwarmers. I'm including McFadden and Hahnemann in that equation.
