International Call Ups


Saint Charlie

As always it's a very nice little clique, with no imagination. Most players outside the top 6 must be scratching their heads trying figure out how they might get into the England squad, to be honest they have probably given up. Especially when Carrick was being talked of as playing centre back in place of the beloved Rio.

Roy sat in SMS the other day must have very deep down must have been disappointed at the performance of the 4 nailed on England players who didn't really get a look in against a Saints team containing 7 English players.

Cleverley & Wellbeck play in a team that plays to a disciplined system, Rickie Lambert could play for Manchester United and score for fun once he had adapted to it.

 

If there were no external pressures on the England team, you could have put a team made up of English Championship players against San Marino and they would have scored more than 8, mainly because of the passion they would have shown to wear the England shirt.

Agreed. Quite how Sturridge is better than SRL completely baffles me - yes he scored today, but missed more, and if today was about trying new fringe players that would otherwise not get a chance, then a perfect opportunity for Ricky?? Could have been brought on for the 2nd half to show what he had, with no risk.

 

The FA are a joke, as exampled by cow towing to has-been Rio, when this was a perfect opportunity to try a new and upcoming CB (not suggesting a Saints CB BTW). Only saving grace is that old saggy chops was not in charge!

No. I just made that up.

You must have, because Forren was awful. Rash, poorly timed challenges troughout, looked fat, slow and unfit, clearly lacked match practice, and didnt pose any danger at all when in attacking positions.

Based on that showing, we have (for the time being) 3 other CB`s who are head and shoulders in front of him in the pecking order.

So were you at the game or did you have a live feed or did a mate go ...... or....... ?

 

This is a polite question asking for the source of your judgement. I am in no way question it BTW

 

If your question was directed at me, then yes; I was at the game. Miserable Norwegian Saints-fan over here..
