Nobody

Capello got absolutely hammered during the World Cup for playing 4-4-2. Fixed Nolan twice?

To be fair to SSN, I'm still not quite sure that Henderson made his debut yesterday.

What the fuck?! There are people actually agreeing with him and trying to defend his point? I guess they must have missed that Carroll was pretty much all England had yesterday as far as attacking was concerned, his flicks down to Milner and Gerrard were our best chances while he was on the pitch ffs

I don't know what's worse, the fact that he's got six out and out attacking players on the pitch, or the fact that he wants SWP to be one of them. No balance and one of the worst wingers to ever have so many caps in the team.

obviously doesn't care as much about Coté d'Ivoire as he does about Newcastle

c***s! the pair of them Shame Zenden has to play for that lot, as I've always liked him. Apart from playing for them, he doesn't strike me as a cunt at all. Gyan on the other hand can fuck right off.

He's played wide left quite a lot under Capello, so the thought is certainly not too outlandish. I'd much rather have Johnson out there though, he should be one of the first names on the team sheet for me.

Carrick is slightly better than Barry, but hardly the answer. Shame Hargreaves is as frail as Michael Owen, or I'd have him over both of them any day of the week.

Agree. He just went missing for most parts of the game, clearly not ready for this level yet. Should still be getting more caps in friendlies if the likes of Wilshere and Rodwell are out.

Hart Richards Ferdinand Terry Cole Johnson Wilshere Rodwell Young Rooney Carroll Fuck Gerrard and Lampard, their time is up.

Utterly pathetic display. Good thing it was a friendly and I'm able to laugh about it, had this been NUFC, I'd have been utterly disgusted with every single one of the players on the pitch (Carroll might have been the exception). What the hell is Lescott doing for their second? Why is he seven to eight yards away from Nasri when the ball is played in, and as he is, why doesn't he even try to get closer once it's clear that's where it's going to end up? Why the hell hasn't Gerrard or Henderson picked up on Valbuena rushing in from midfield? Utterly woeful defending there.

Not a single decent cross into the box during the time he was on the pitch, fucking pathetic display from the midfielders. Gets a 6.5 from me, did what he was asked to do pretty much.

Best player in a white shirt out there by a mile so far. Not much competition, mind.

Christ, that was woeful We basically haven't got a midfield, Henderson and Barry aren't in the game at all. France just pass straight through them as if they weren't there, and when they get the ball they just play it back to our defenders to hoof it for Carroll. Milner and Walcott has offered nothing on the wings, get them both off and get someone who can work the flanks and get a cross in for fucks sake. Funnily enough, it looks like Carroll is the seasoned pro out there, with loads of caps under his belt and is trying to carry the players who are just getting their first cap.

Absolute fucking garbage.

Capello: "This is a big chance. To play with the senior side and to change his lifestyle. I hope he will understand what really happens when you play with the seniors. I have spoken to him about what he has to do during the game. I haven't spoken to him about his private life but I will. Everyone makes mistakes when they're young. He's 21. A lot of people drink, no? We have to help him but he has to understand he is in the senior team. There will be journalists, photographers, everyone focusing on him. Life will be different now. His behaviour has to be better. We decided it was not OK for him to stay with us for the Montenegro game because his behaviour was not OK. Now we have picked him because he can improve by staying with us. He has to be careful in every moment."

I would tell you to stop talking shite, but then I realised that you must have heard that so many times by now that I might as well not bother.

Like....? I'll give you Gerrard, but the rest of that team is hardly world class.

Holland and Carroll to score any time, both singles.

Move Gerrard back to CM and play Nolan behind Carroll

That's pretty much the reason why I won't "take" 17th. For us to get 17th, it'll mean in 25 games we've won about 1 in 4/5 games, and lost 15 matches. Sorry but I think we're a helluva lot better than that. To only finish 17th as well won't do much to convince the likes of Ben Arfa and other better players to come here in the summer, and I'd also imagine the likes of Carroll, Tiote, Coloccini & Enrique would begin to get itchy feet and think they're better than this and look elsewhere. Nah man, there's basically no difference between finishing 9th and 17th.

Downing on the left, Johnson on the right. Sounds like a no-brainer to me like. Downing providing crosses for Andy from the left, Johnson skill, technique and a goal threat from the right. Or, I suppose we could go with Walcott giving us pace and no end product on the right and Milner giving us graft on the left

Cleverly.

Difference is that them two probably couldn't care less about a friendly, while this is a massive game for Carroll. Carroll will do anything to play in this, and fair play to him, so he should. If more players had that attitude towards playing for England, then maybe we wouldn't look so fucking dire half of the time.

Aye, sod Nolan and Tiote
