Ash Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 How many friendlies have we got before the big KO? Egypt at Wembley in March is the only confirmed game so far. Rumours of a couple of games in May too, one possibly in Austria against Japan where we are going to have our training base. Mexico have also been mentioned as potential opponents but no confirmation as yet where it will take place, if at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The form that Rooney is currently in, could we maybe see a change in formation for England? I know the current system is working well with Heskey alongside Rooney, but I think playing a 4-5-1/4-3-3 could aid us with the talent we have in midfield. I think it could also allow us to get the best out of Gerrard and Lampard, who are the two other most important players in the squad. Rather incredibly, Rooney's now our best target man as well as our best withdrawn striker. It'd be worth a try, if only because it would open up a space for Joe Cole.

Guest Stephen927 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 He is having a great season, none of our other players come close to matching him in skill or desire. If he performs at the World Cup, we will do well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 James and Hargreaves aren't going to start. I like Hargreaves but he's clearly had it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I haven't rated Ferdinand in a fair while. Upson isn't great, but I can't think of anyone else to put alongside Terry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Upson and Terry is a good combo imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1878 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Upson is lucky he'll even be on the plane. Yard dog. I had to laugh at all the stuff in the papers about Wayne Bridge missing out on the World Cup because of Terry as well. The lad is shite and it's baffled me for ages how he gets picked ahead of Baines & Warnock when he's been so poor week after week for City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I would probably take one of Baines or Warnock as back-up to A.Cole. Hard to choose which, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much to choose between them but Baines has got better technique and is better going forward imo. Warnock is a bit more solid defensively and a fair bit taller. Depends what type of fullback you want really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 For Thespence Just saw your post in the other thread Milner admits the leftback may not be his best position for England. If he does play leftback for England that would mean AV have 3 England left backs on there books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I would probably take one of Baines or Warnock as back-up to A.Cole. Hard to choose which, though. Thanks for narrowing it down for what it's worth I rate Baines but I still don't think either are quite good enough. More 'best of a bad bunch' (maybe a bit harsh). I'm praying Cole is fit, quality player him, fecking quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monkey Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Leighton Baines would be the solution at left back, I think Warnock is slightly overrated, he certainly had a torrid time against Valencia (the player that is) yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I would probably take one of Baines or Warnock as back-up to A.Cole. Hard to choose which, though.

Depends what type of fullback you want really. Yep. I am of course biased and would love to see Baines go and play, but I appreciate that opposition teams would probably see him as a relative weakness and would seek to attack that side as much as possible. Decent sides, I mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
