Mole_Toonfan Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Ox is going to be a very good player. He's borderline. His decision-making isn't great atm. Could go the way of Sturridge (not to say Sturridge is finished, but his progress has stalled lately because he's such a greedy git). Exactly why Wenger has pulled him back.... he's simply not ready yet mentally for the top level the physical and technical tools are there but the mental is lacking atm. I think it will come though, might be wrong but get the feeling he has a bit more about him than some of his peers. Yeah it will come but he's not quite there yet..... still looks good in this team though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 It's not pretty (in fact, it's distinctly ugly) but this team of eleven English workhorses is England's best bet for progressing in the tournament. If they turn up trying to play football with the pool of players available to them, they'll be humiliated quite frankly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hazard definitely doesnt look comfortable in the Messi like role to me doesnt seem to understand the role at all.... Bags of talent and will do well for Chelsea but i feel they would be wise to employ him as an AM or outwide.... "fake 9" doesnt suit him at all or atleast atm it doesnt.

brummie Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 It's not pretty (in fact, it's distinctly ugly) but this team of eleven English workhorses is England's best bet for progressing in the tournament. If they turn up trying to play football with the pool of players available to them, they'll be humiliated quite frankly. England have more chance in this tournament than any recent one. The best any manager can do with such a limited set of players (Downing, Carroll and Henderson, FFS, after their season) is organise them and hope for the best. Woy organises his teams very tightly indeed. Throw in the fact that there isn't just no ridiculous OTT expectation, but that everyone has pretty much written England off, and I think we'll do pretty well. The pressure is off, we're organised, and we're just going to see how it pans out. It might just work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Staying tight is good but if we go behind to a good side we will be fecked, all i can see if 1-0 down is throw on the giraffe and hoy it into the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 This kind of set up is definitely the one with the highest chance of success, yeah. Likes of Welbeck, Young and Walcott will be useful as the outball, just keep tight and compact in the middle. Probably put Milner and Parker together in the middle, Gerrard behind Welbeck and then Walcott and Young out wide until Rooney's back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pressure is off, we're organised, and we're just going to see how it pans out. It might just work. Agree with that. Other teams competing aren't exactly pulling up trees. Expecting a low quality tournament (hopefully high entertainment) but with a workmanlike, solid but unspectacular team like England playing the percentages and winning it. If Germany or France or Holland click, then any of them could walk it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wally_McFool Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Think I'll stick £20 on England to win the Euros on the grounds that they'll probably bore everyone to death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The good thing about being so average, if we're ever forced into a substitution, it's not going to negatively impact the team much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
