TaylorJ_01 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 We're not gonna win the World Cup and Cole isn't gonna be in the squad in future tournaments so good idea to plan for the future. Using the biggest stage in football to plan for the future. Get real. We have no chance of winning this. We might have a chance in 2016. :lol: Something tickled you mate? "we might have a chance in 2016" I hardly said we're gonna win the c*** did I? Obviously it goes without saying that a tournament in similar climate to home and no South American teams is easier than the impossibility that is us winning in Brazil. Plus they're allowing a right load of s**** like Ireland into this one to pad the numbers so we might get an easy group I don't know why you think insulting Ireland is going to hurt me, we're s*** and we know we're s***. Might be something to do with football not even being the most popular sport in a country with four million people. What makes you think that you might have a chance in 2016? might 2 (mīt) aux.v. Past tense of may 1. a. Used to indicate a condition or state contrary to fact: She might help if she knew the truth. b.

Deuce Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 There's really not much of a drop-off from Cole to Baines, and certainly not to the extent that it'll cost England games in Brazil. Hard to say Baines hasn't earned the right to start either and it opens up a spot in the squad for Shaw, the presumptive starting LB of the future.

Neil Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Baines should have been first choice at least 2 years ago. Almost feels a bit late, Shaw is an exceptional prospect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Roy is surprising me here, didn't think he'd drop Walker despite him being erratic for a while now. Smalling and Jones in to backup Johnson? Fucking stupid that this is all coming out like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Smalling and Jones would always be going anyway as CB back-up so it makes sense to only take one RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Apparently this is the squad. Hart, Foster, Ruddy Johnson, Jones, Cahill, Jagielka, Smalling, Baines, Shaw Henderson, Lallana, Gerrard, Wilshere, Lampard, Oxlade Chamberlain, Milner, Sterling, Barkley Sturridge, Rooney, Welbeck, Lambert Pretty happy with that personally if that's the case, can't think of any major omissions apart from Cole. Shame the likes of Rodriguez and Walcott got injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Aye, don't really think there's any great argument for Carroll over Lambert this season but I'd prefer to see him there instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slarth Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Not to bad that squad with a bit of luck Rooney will do something this time around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If that's it then fair enough, good team. Carroll's the only one I'd put in there, but hard to begrudge Lambert a spot after his decent run in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Its a shame Terry isn't involved, wish they would patch up what ever the problems are as he's by far our best CB and its a position we lack quality in as shown by the picks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Depressing there aren't better options than Milner like. True to some extent, but we have a lot more midfield options now. I doubt he's really going to be much more than a Jonas to close out a close game. Would be surprised if he's playing ahead of the likes of Lallana, Wilshere and Barkley, at least i would hope so.
