Wilson Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Taylor's never going to get an England cap under Woy. I don't think Taylor will ever get a call-up as long as he plays for NUFC.

TenkoDaLuz Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 International squads nowadays are just for the show, and the players could not care less about it. Still I'm hoping for 2 wins in a row for Portugal, if we still want to dream about WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 In recent years I've never been one for England at international level, the over rated players, jobs for the boys instead of players being chosen on merit has been a real disappointment time after time. Still though in recent years I have persisted with them in the name of it being our country. Now I'm past this, the England squad for a long time haven't represented England, they have represented the FA and now I find it impossible for myself to support such an organisation. I no longer have any passion left for the FA 11, I cannot support an organisation who willingly allow players to be put at severe risk, risks that include not only the ending of a career but potentially the end of someone being able to walk. I cannot support the referee's and the decisions for the big teams despite it being obvious at how much they dive, cheat etc. Respect a referee, in the world I was brought up in respect was there to earned not given. I cannot support a bunch of middle aged men who have never had any passion for the game who are so out of touch with the fans and the game itself yet these are the very people who condone both UEFA and FIFA for doing the same. When they England team once again become that, a team built of English players who have gained their places on merit not on past glories and names, and when they stop becoming a face for the FA then I will support them. As it happen tomorrow I would laugh if the FA11 lost, not that it will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Which English players haven't been included who absolutely deserve to be there though? Can't think of many. They could do a better job at constructing a better team though, even if that means benching better players. Not sure if that's what you're getting at.

Tooj Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Is Glen Johnson fit and in the squad? If so it should be him as he's miles better than Walker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You surprise me, whether you rate Walker or not. I'm not a huge fan either. Yes Johnson is in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'd play a right-back at right-back personally. I can't say there are many English RBs who I can think of that should be in ahead of Walker/Johnson... sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Is Richards knackered? Haven't seen him for ages. Reckon my preferred England (all fit) team would be: Hart Richards Smalling Cahill Cole/Baines* Wilshere Carrick Chamberlain Rooney Young Welbeck *dependent on attacking threat of opponent It's not that good but it should qualify at least. The paucity of quality players in numerous positions is startling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Would it be fair to say that Glen Johnson's best form was when he played right wing? I remember that being when he was shit hot at Portsmouth and then getting the move to Liverpool, who then played him at right back. That's how I remember it anyway.
