alexf Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 walcott is useless when he has time to think and a defender stands up to him but put him through on goal and he is a great instinctive finisher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 He's a great player occaisionally. If he turns up absolutely must be in the team, most the time will look dangerous occaisionally then fluff his lines. Ox no idea really as hasn't played enough but seems to have range of passing to at least keep ball going. Personally though I'd stick Ox on left Walcot on right and young and carroll up front and be done with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Walcott's main problem is that he's so inconsistent. That's what holding him back from being a really top player and that's also the reason why he's not rated so highly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 As if you'd play Ox over Walcott, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 whatever happens. Downing must not play! really disappointed he was picked ahead of adam johnson who i know doesn't play much for city but when he does he's always good for a goal or assist. None of which downing has contributed this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Can't believe people are picking Cahill over Lescott. Lescott has the luxury of playing with Kompany I suppose, but he's a far better defender IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think Cahill's better. He's a far better partner for Terry anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 To me, Walcott just doesn't cut at International level as much as when he first burst onto the scene as a youngster. I just don't rate him that much at this level. Think his decision making is poor and other than pace, he offers very little to general play for England.

Mr. Snrub Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Lescott had a brilliant season, should definitely be starting at the euros. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Is Cleverley any good btw? Saw quite a few people raving about him but whenever I've watched him he doesn't exactly look top class if you know what I mean. Not convinced. Don't think he is anywhere near as good as he is made out to be. Next season will be make or break with him at Manure. I'm in the yet to be fully convinced brigade too. Looked alreet but I remain to be fully convinced. That's what I'm saying. Looked alright but I wouldn't exactly say he looked a class act, not compared to when I've seen Chamberlain and Wilshere anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Lescott had a brilliant season, should definitely be starting at the euros. All true but like Ronaldo pointed out Cahill has a better partnership with Terry and Lescott plays the same position as Terry. I would personally play Lescott and Cahill from the names but Terry will play and i think Hodgson will pick Cahill alongside him because of the fact they play together for Chelsea. Dont think i agree with it but i reckon thats what he will do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think centre half is one of the last areas we've got to worry about. It's going forward we seem to lack talent, ability, cohesion & skill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, our midfield, in particular, is shocking. All of our main/natural central midfielders (Lampard, Parker and Gerrard) are all over 30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Only just realised Rooney has just had his best ever goalscoring season. I hope he is massive for us and that we get past the first 2 games unscathed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he is massive for us and that we get past the first 2 games unscathed. It's an odd one because he hasn't quite seemed to be having an amazing season. It seems mainly because the burden of scoring has fallen on him mainly rather than spread more evenly, with Hernandez being injured and Fergie refusing to use Berbatov, but it's symptomatic of their season, scarily efficient, oddly unimpressive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think Cahill's better. He's a far better partner for Terry anyway. The latter is why I'd play him ahead of Lescott, continuity and understanding means a lot at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 If Hodgson picks the team according to the way he's given out the numbers 1 - 11, then it'll be - Hart Johnson Terry Cahill Cole Walcott Gerrard Lampard Young Rooney Carroll It's a fairly predictable first team apart from Gerrard and Lampard in CM. Haven't Chelsea tried Lampard in a holding role for parts of games recently? I'm not sure it'd work, but I'd actually like to see us give it a try against Belgium.

The College Dropout Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I don't rate Barry but he's better than Scott Parker and is more suited to international football. Neither works well in a 4-4-2 mind, then again neither does Gerrard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Gerrard being captain puts the England side in a straight jacket. That means he is going to play despite going into the tournament in the poorest form in his career. Lampard I can handle, if the team is built around his ability to find a goal. As much as I don't like Terry, having a Chelsea trio in the back four makes total sense, especially with their heroics in the champions league.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's mystifying that Gerrard is starting for England, he's had a terrible season. Our midfield is rank TBH, only Young is (arguably) anywhere near the top of his game and I hate the diving little cant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
