Saint Garrett Posted 3 March, 2014 Posted 3 March, 2014 Anyone else going. Would like to see Adam and Luke playing in the "first XI" as I'm sure there will be two teams pretty much, and the second half of these games is always very stop start. I would start with: Hart; Walker Cahill Smalling Shaw; Gerrard Wilshere; Chamberlain Rooney Lallana; Sturridge Anyone else going? I'm heading up at lunchtime hopefully be a few other Saints in attendance!
trousers Posted 3 March, 2014 Posted 3 March, 2014 Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC VINE: Rickie Lambert, Jay Rodriguez and @LukeShaw3 training with #England. #saintsfc https://vine.co/v/MAKm1gdIUZq The FA @FA #England update: Walker, Townsend, Caulker, Ruddy and Lallana are only players not training this morning. They continue recovery work inside
Saint Luke Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 I'll be there. Hope to see some of our lads play. Was at the reverse in Copenhagen last year or whenever it was. You could watch the game with a beer in your hand there.
DT Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 Quite surprised Rodriguez and Lambert are anywhere near the England squad. Shaw and Lallana, however, are a different story. Would be surprised if one or both didn't go to Brazil. The other two? - little to no chance.

Would it be that much of a surprise if Shaw doesn't go to Brazil?
DT Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 I'd be surprised. Raheem Sterling I like, especially for the kind of movement that Rickie lacks. Rodriguez too profligate even at Prem level, and loses possession too much. Surprised Adam Johnson not in cut. Hope Hodgson goes for new wave of youngsters in Brazil.
Saint_Tony Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 (edited) There are lots of players who aren't good enough for England. But our players have earnt their chance and for me it'll be amazing if any of them get to play in Brazil. All of a sudden Shaw has a realistic chance of going too. If you look at the scoring charts, the top 5 English strikers are Sturridge, Rooney, Rodriguez, Lambert and Welbeck, so their places are justified. Next ones look to be Crouch then Carlton Cole and Gary Hooper. Are they better players who have had better seasons? Edited 4 March, 2014 by Saint_Tony

Saint_Tony Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 Sterling should go. You have to give a lot of credit to y Rodgers who has managed him very well. He's taken him out of the side for spells to avoid him getting burnt out, and in the last 2-3 months he's been performing at a consistently high level. At this moment in time, I'd have him ahead of Townsend, who has done very little recently, and is still keeping his place off of the media hype of his last 2 England performances
Sour Mash Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 So Adam Johnson and Andy Carroll are the answer instead of Lambert and Rodriguez? What has the last couple of years of their career looked like?
jamesfp1 Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 If jrod gets another 6-8 goals he'll be on the plane. But he doesn't look like getting another 6-8 goals so he probably won't be on the plane.

Well he's got no chance, we've already been informed on here that our misfiring out of form strikers are unlikely to ever score again
Goatboy Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 [video=youtube_share;d86Z_xRHtac] :)Thanks for that Mr Trousers.
Batman Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 My team Hart Shaw Cahill Jagielka Walker Gerrard Wilshere Lallana Rooney Sterling Sturridge
ottery st mary Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 My team Hart Shaw Cahill Jagielka Walker Gerrard Wilshere Lallana Rooney Sterling Sturridge I maybe wrong....but Walker and Jagielka? Doubtful or absent through injury?
Batman Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 I maybe wrong....but Walker and Jagielka? Doubtful or absent through injury? in that case........ Johnson and Caulker
ottery st mary Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 in that case........ Johnson and Caulker Someone might update info re Walker and Jagielka... Roy isn't talking to me anymore re team selection:rolleyes:
Saint Garrett Posted 4 March, 2014 Author Posted 4 March, 2014 Walker and Jagielka both out, Caulker has been struggling with a knock too apparently.
trousers Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 :)Thanks for that Mr Trousers. My pleasure kind sir
trousers Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 Can't see Shaw starting over Baines. Yep, Mr Hodgson seems to be hinting at a cameo role at best... The FA @FA Hodgson: It would be nice to get Luke Shaw on the pitch but I don't want to make any promises just yet #England
Window Cleaner Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 Yep, Mr Hodgson seems to be hinting at a cameo role at best... The FA @FA Hodgson: It would be nice to get Luke Shaw on the pitch but I don't want to make any promises just yet #England depends on whether he's really considered to be a possible for the summer or not. At full international level Shaw is an unknown quantity so if they think he may have some part to play in the summer wouldn't they really want to see what he can do now ? Baines and Cole they know all about anyway.
GAS Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 Can't see Shaw starting over Baines.Baines is being rested. Shaw and Cole probably a half each.
Lazlo78 Posted 4 March, 2014 Posted 4 March, 2014 Game on, *****es... http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/mar/04/england-football-rivalry-denmark-fifa "The Danes had begun to draw praise from their hosts. "They play a good, hard game with perfect fairness and, in the main, a very sound knowledge of its intricacies," said the Observer. "Their merits are pace, dash and pluck; their faults a tendency to keep the ball too much in the air (the defect of most professional players nowadays), hesitancy near goal or, what is perhaps worse, a fatal habit of kicking wildly at the critical moment."" Judging by the tactics, our coach back then was more widely known as "Rotund Samuel" and ran an academy of "all-encompassing football"...
DT Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 Luke Shaw taking some cracking free kicks in training: http://www.theguardian.com/football/video/2014/mar/03/luke-shaw-free-kick-england-video Can we get him taking them for real for us?
ericofarabia Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 Any other saints going ? I'll be watching it in Barasti Bar Dubai, but not many of us Dubai Saints are likely to be there, a 2 am finish mid week not ideal!!
Monk Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 Any other saints going ? I'm here (Wembley) tonight in a work capacity.
Deano6 Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 I'm here (England dressing room) tonight in a work capacity.
Batman Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 team (apparently) hart johnson cahill smalling cole gerrard henderson sterling OxO Rooney Sturridge
Bewildered Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 team (apparently) hart johnson cahill smalling cole gerrard henderson sterling OxO Rooney Sturridge No Lallana? smh
InvictaSaint Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 team (apparently) hart johnson cahill smalling cole gerrard henderson sterling OxO Rooney Sturridge Cole ahead of Shaw eh? Wow. How achingly experimental.
Batman Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 dunno if that is right. one of the journos on the radio claims it is
Window Cleaner Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 No Lallana? smh No anyone,must be a Pompey fan's selection. 2nd half perhaps
Batman Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 not surprised if lallana is not in towsend will be a starter ahead of him roy needs pace for his counter attacking tactics
Goatboy Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 No anyone,must be a Pompey fan's selection. 2nd half perhaps Could see all 4 Saints on together in the 2nd half:)
Batman Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 team (apparently) hart johnson cahill smalling cole gerrard henderson sterling OxO Rooney Sturridge swap wilshere in for OxO and that is the team
nta786 Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 Nothing to do with this, but anyone know how Prowsey getting on against Wales in the U21 game? Staying on the topic now, we'll probs see Shaw get a half... Lallana will get some minutes too, but whether Lambert & Rodriguez play I'm not too sure. I can see one of them them getting the last ten minutes or something.
nta786 Posted 5 March, 2014 Posted 5 March, 2014 Hart Johnson Smalling Cahill Cole Gerrard Henderson Sterling Rooney Wilshere Sturridge This will be the team according to SSN... No Saints boys

I can see one of them them getting the last ten minutes or something. Watching it at the moment, second half just started, really bad game. England having all the possession, but Wales have had the better chances on the counter attack. JWP not exactly overextending himself. Isgrove has done absolutely nothing for Wales except being offside once.
