Belfast Boy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Severe lack of options on the bench. Young and Johnson aside, there is only defenders and then the other three fowards, Cole, Crouch and Bothroyd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Henderson nowhere near ready for international football. Could benefit with another year in the Under 21s. At least he is looking to be patient and play it short in the rare instances he has been involved. However he is getting no help whatsoever from the two supposedly senior players alongside him. Actually feel bad for him in a way. Does look slightly out of his depth but I do empathise. I think he can develop into a very good player but he needs to first and foremost find his actual role. CM, DM, RM? He could do with leaving Sunderland if he is to develop, though. Aye, he should sign for Chelsea or Man City where he can rot in the reserves and ruin his career. Because that's just what I said. I'd have him at Everton, for example. Sorry about that, I simplified your position, it's what you do on forums. But to me a team like Sunderland seems alright for him at this point in time. Not too much press attention, competitive in most games, regular football. Not many teams he could move up to outside of the top 4 or 5 really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to wonder if he has the ability to hug the touch line/whip a decent ball in. No worse than Osman I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 England are 6th on the Fifa ranking? You're not even the 6th best team in Europe. Should never pay any attention to those rankings. Pointless things. They're a marker on current form, and usually remains a good marker even though it pretends to say that it gives the ranking of the best nations in the world, which it doesn't. I look at it as a guide to which nations have been in good form recently compared to others. That said, you still shouldn't be 6th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Good changes. Johnson on the left, Milner into the middle for Barry, Richards at RB, Jags replacing Ferdinand and Young on for Walcott. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 BARRY OFF! :frantic: :frantic: :celb: :celb: And the first thing Southgate says. "I'm concerned." Fuck off. Ian W: perhaps not now - another year at Sunderland I agree with but in the not too distant future he'll need to play with better players if he is to significantly progress.

KaKa Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Few things as frustrating and irritating as watching Milner on the wing. Fantastic prospect through the middle. Had it all set up perfectly for him at Villa for the next ten years, but had to get ahead of himself. He'll be out of both teams soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd probably drift inside for Seamus to exploit the space. Anyway, I wouldn't say I'd go all out for him or anything, but if he did come then I'd be happy with it, at a reasonable price. Won't happen, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
