Hodgson has season ticket

[9-3]

Was there again today.

Jay Rod was MOTM for me.

I think he is sussing Luke out, not there yet I reckon.

JWP has great vision, one for the future.

Great composure from SRL.

Adam had decent first half.

Clynne, Chambers? Fear Clynne will go in summer. Can't have both.

[Roger]

Clynes better.

[pangy]

Lol of course you can have both,they are both very young and will both get game time as we have seen this season,we need to have more depth in the squad as opposed to one player for each position

JRod and Clyne both had good games and would have done their WC chances no harm at all.. I think Roy will take Lallana, shaw and Lambert.

He is trying to suss out how we play so that he can replicate it in Brazil and shut that plum Greg Dyke up by winning the World Cup

I don't think there is any hope of us winning the world cup. However, there could be a lot to be gained by picking a young, enthusiastic squad,

My hope is that Chambers eventually moves to CB and then we can fit them both in the team. I would love to eventually see:

 

Boruc

Clyne Chambers Lovren Shaw

 

As our defence. Possibly with a new keeper but we would be fairly solid there.

Kind of agree. I think Chambers will be a top player and could play almost anywhere in defence/midfield. If he can add a few goals to his game he will be worth a fortune.

I think he will ultimately prove to be more defensively solid than shaw and could therefore be more important to us in the long run. Shaw will always command the higher fee and be more coveted because he can do the eye catching stuff so well.

I admire your optimism, but European sides don't win World Cups in South America. Given that, we really should be taking a side designed to be prepared for future tournaments. Does anyone else think Lampard and Cole will get another cap after Brazil? Baines is playing left back until we get knocked out, or until he gets injured - why not take Luke to gain "tournament experience". I think the majority of opinion would be behind a youthful selection for this one, tbh.
