Hatch Posted 23 February, 2012 Share Posted 23 February, 2012 England squad Goalkeepers: Scott Carson (Bursaspor), Joe Hart (Manchester City), Robert Green (West Ham United) Defenders: Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Leighton Baines (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Micah Richards (Manchester City), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur) Midfielders: Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Stewart Downing (Liverpool), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), James Milner (Manchester City), Scott Parker (Tottenham Hotspur), Ashley Young (Manchester United), Theo Walcott (Arsenal) Forwards: Darren Bent (Aston Villa), Fraizer Campbell (Sunderland), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United) Looks incredibly weak. Hardly any central defenders Cleverley - played about 3 games this season Downing - really!! Done nothing at Liverpool Walcott - Wouldn't get in a schools Under 15 team at the moment. Campbell - On the back of one good goal! FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 23 February, 2012 Share Posted 23 February, 2012 agree why o why do the press/fans keep banging on about cleverly and jones..... also, frazer campbell....ffs, if anyone does not deserve it...ffs walcott needs a break also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 23 February, 2012 Share Posted 23 February, 2012 Great to see Micah Richards called up tbh, Capello had something against him for some reason - but he's been terrific for City this year. Surprised there's no chambo tbh, this would have been a perfect game to blood him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 I'm going to watch Mr. Adriansfc, but only because I have sod all else to do, don't see much live football on television and primarily because it's the Dutch. I'm curious to see how this mixed (putting it nicely) England team will do but I'm more keen to see the Dutch in action, as I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MongoNeil Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 I don't watch many England friendlies but this atmosphere is shocking! I really don't understand why everyone rates Gerrard so much either, he always wants to make the killer pass but just ends up hitting it long, can he keep it on the deck??

mulletsaint Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Didn't think it was that bad to be honest. Ten minute bad patch from first goal. Apart from that we had most of the good chances. Thought the defensive midfielders needed to sit more and offer greater protection to the back four. First goal wouldn't have happened if this was the case. TBH Gerrard and for a lot of the match Young, were where things broke down creatively and they are two of the more senior players. I'm kinda of the opinion that we need to let the youngsters grow together and accept they'll make the odd mistake. I'd rather that than see all of the old players back in the squad.

mulletsaint Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Oh and by the way the commentating was appalling. Mixing up players numerous times, calling Ashley Young Luke Young and missing the obvious deflection for the winning goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Don't get the hype around Welbeck and Sturridge at all.

If they play like that and lose, we'll tumble down the rankings, meaning we get tougher opposition in the future until eventually we're drawn in incredibly tough groups and can't qualify anyway. We'll do well to get out of our group at 2012. Ukraine and France are formidable opposition, then there's Sweden who we just about managed to beat in a friendly not so long ago.

Thedelldays Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 the main argument for parker NOT being captain was (this was on talksport) that he MAY not be around for the 2014 world cup.. eerr, so what..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nor, in all likelihood, will any of the other likely candidates. Terry, Ferdinand and Gerrard will all probably be too old/unfit to be relied upon by then. You could argue they already are. I don't see why the captaincy is so important anyway, no other country really gives a **** who wears an armband and gets to call heads or tails before kickoff.

Wade Garrett Posted 1 March, 2012 Share Posted 1 March, 2012 The new kit is crap. The badge with three red lions is tantamount to treason.
