Dave Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hodgson now getting slated after saying he picked Ox, due to how well he dealt with Pirlo when Arse played AC Milan. Pirlo wasnt on the pitch, he now plays for Juventus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Well..it'll be a typical England tournament looking at this squad, you guys better hope you get past the group stages at least. Downing ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 What a boring ass squad. Pandering to the media once again. Complete and utter rubbish. Hope England get absolutely smashed. I'd like to see what Hodgson can do once this generation of shithouses is too old to compete in the next major tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirlo wasnt on the pitch, he now plays for Juventus. Oh God. Absolutely stunning. I honestly can't wait for this summer. No hopes, no expectations, no supporting England. Just full-on hilarity.

Wullie Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'm a bit gutted I feel so lifeless about England. Maybe I'll get into it but if the France game was tonight, I'd just be hoping for a Cabaye and Ben Arfa inspired battering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Same as me. I was well up for the last WC and was against the whole 'don't care about England' stance, but that shite really did it for me with regards to England. If we've signed Debuchy too I don't think I could have any choice but to support France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NufcBano Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Cant believe Woy has fell for the assuming Pirlo still plays for Milan trick. I thought he was aware of Italian football? Big school boy error. He should have just stuck to praising Chamberlain's talent, that is all. The fact Ambrosini didnt play either...!! Oh woy.

Cronky Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I don't know whether there's a lot to argue about tbh. I'd have gone for Richards for his ability in attack and at set pieces, but there have always been question marks about his positioning and concentration. Downing isn't as bad as people make out, and it's not as though we're flooded out with options for the left side. I'm pleased he's taken the Ox. Despite his age, he showed in the CL that he can handle that level of football. Henderson is probably on standby for his versatility. And if you asked 100 managers whether they'd take Gerrard, all of them would say yes. Adam Johnson. Daniel Sturridge. Aaron Lennon. Well from what I've seen, all three tend to play down the right. You can make a case for any of those three, but not an overwhelming one. Johnson has barely played this season and there are question marks over his reliability. Sturridge hasn't matured yet as a player. Lennon is very right-footed and relies a lot on pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he's made a tit of himself BUT that was a significant game which showed that Chamberlain can handle a big occasion against continental opposition.

Not to sure about the bigger picture with Liverpool this season, but for nearly all of his career at club and international level he's been down the left.

Guest Chubby Jason Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The one thing you can say about Downing is that he's been OK for England when he's played recently. He's still been dire for Liverpool all season and shouldn't be in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
