Colinjb Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 Would hope so. Equally his dissapointing game against Sunderland may be all the excuse Hodgson needs to drop him. The strikers will probably be Rooney, Sturridge, Defoe and an out of position Theo Walcott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 Rooney, Sturridge, Welbeck and Lambert for the striker positions. This would be my thoughts, Carroll is unfit and no idea why he would take Defoe. Hopefully Rickie can do more against Moldova then he did vs Sunderland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope he listens to Gary Neville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Bob Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 Rooney, Sturridge, Welbeck and Lambert for the striker positions. Rooney was awesome last night whilst Wellback showed why he shouldn't be anywhere near the England squad, no composure in front of goal at all... I am hoping that the good stories and comments about Rickie from the last international meant that he fitted in with the squad and that would be a plus for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhari Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 SRL should get a spot based on his performance against the Scots, and the fact he offers something different to the core English strikers. He'll be there. If not I will take a dump on Roys car seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever a red and white Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 Defoe should not be in the squad at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceandfriendly Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 I think he'll be included, based on Neville's comments and the general reaction from many in the media. I reckon this has a large effect on who Roy will pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Saint Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 Think he will make the squad and, alongside Sturridge, hopefully will get some decent game time against Moldova. Both deserve it. Wellbeck and Rooney will most probably start against Ukraine as the forward pairing, but expect Rickie to be brought on as an impact sub if we are struggling - which is highly likely.

The9 Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 My gran could have scored that - and she's been dead forty years. Yes, but he scored, and he's an English striker who offers something different to the usual suspects, so he's probably in contention. I'm still surprised Crouch didn't get Lambert's spot in the last squad given some of the thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farawaysaint Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 (edited) If he had scored against Sunderland then he'd be in no question. He didn't and I fully expect the lame excuses to follow Edited 27 August, 2013 by farawaysaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 If he had scored agains Sunderland then he'd be in no question. He didn't and I fully expect the lame excuses to follow especially with that Campbell bloke (ex MU of course) winning against Citeh all by himself. Looked a much better player than Lambert in respect of agility and physical impact. Still can't see Lambert being dropped just like that. He'll be in this time but needs to start getting on the PL scoresheets from open play cos penalty kings are not much in demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 Rooney was awesome last night whilst Wellback showed why he shouldn't be anywhere near the England squad, no composure in front of goal at all... I am hoping that the good stories and comments about Rickie from the last international meant that he fitted in with the squad and that would be a plus for him Wellbeck's goal vs Scotland marked his 6th goal and a 100% shots to goal ratio... This dropped to 6 goals/ 7shots following his ambitious bicycle kick later that game... He is **** and should not be allowed anywhere near england. Ffs. By comparison Lambert has a respectable 1/3 shots to goal ratio.. Despite and missed the two clear cut chances. Well beck is not an effective striker for man united... But he is for whatever reason for england. To say otherwise is to be frigging ignorant tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Ive always quite liked Cambell, he has bern previously capped and if he stats fit is certainly a good option. He is similar to Sturridge in respect to physical stats mind, though he plays differently. Not entirely sure why Welbeck gets such a hard time, he is on form for England after all.

Giordano Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 I cannot remember how many strikers Roy usually picks, but suspect its 4. If so its Rooney, Wellbeck, Sturridge and hopefully SRL, who will probably not play unless there are injuries or we are coasting late in the game. If its 3 then I think no place for SRL, if its 5 then he really should get in the squad. Four is the difficult one though as Roy does have the option of really piccing me off and picking Defoe instead.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 If Rickie scored 15 and Carroll 7. Carroll will go. Depends on whether all 15 of Lamberts are penalties TBH. But its irrelevant, Lambert wont get 15 this year. If he does, and Carroll gets 7 then Lambert will be on the plane. FWIW I know its fashionable to dislike Carroll but he is better than people give him credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 I noticed Andros Townsend's name there somewhere......watching the recent Spurs game he dived very well in the area without contact from anyone near him.. So Woy, if he can win the penalties, then Rickie can score them ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
