Disco Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Unfortunately a much past his best Gerrard is still Englands most reliable midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think there's some overrating going on with Henderson IMO. I think some might be mistaking his clear improvement as him being actual quality. He still doesn't contribute anywhere near enough to be considered an excellent player but fair play to him, he's really improved in the past year and currently deserves to be going to Brazil. That, and also I've a bet on him making the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same Hence praise him on forums/social media to spread word around until chinese whipsers reach Hodgson's ear stating Jordon Henderson is world class and would walk into Spain's team!

KaKa Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I admire that young man Henderson, because quite frankly I thought he was an absolute nothing player previously. Apparently he works really hard, and is always doing extra training sessions, and his improvement is clear to see, he is still young enough to continue to get better and better. I respect that a lot. He's nothing special from a technical standpoint, but he is constantly on the move, pops the ball about, and can occasionally play a surprisingly good pass. He can also get himself into scoring positions and tuck them away. He just doesn't stop going either, and makes an absolute nuisance of himself by constantly pressing the opposition. A young guy with his general mental makeup and professional attitude to the game, absolutely has to be on the plane to Brazil, especially given his performances this season.

Guest palnese Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Adebayor? The striker that everyone has known for ages that he can be a world class striker when he's bothered, but can also look like Shola Ameobi when he's not? Aye, well done on that one. I said Sherwood would turn him around once it was clear he was back in the side. People said wait till the transfer window is closed and if he can still produce then...suppose we'll have to wait till the summer transfer window is over now since it's faily clearly he's still in brilliant form all these months later, he should be bored of football by now apparently. Playing for one last contract. That's why he's upped his game. Nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 So Cleverley has been picked ahead of Huddlestone?! I'd even select Livermore ahead of Cleverley for goodness sake. England would be so good if they just went with a young energetic pacy team. They'd do so much better I reckon. Shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides someone's got to pass them the ball. Huddlestone should definitely be in the wider squad. For sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be nowhere near a national team that wants to win the World Cup this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when you consider said national team is picking Cleverley, then there's certainly an argument for him being included. Quite. We're back to the same questions: sure, he "should be nowhere near a national team that wants to win the World Cup this year" but we're not going to win the World Cup, barring a series of miracles. I don't see anyone else being considerably better, and I certainly think he's a more effective player than Cleverley. He gets a great experience which should stand him in good stead, plus having a young guy who runs and runs in Brazil might come in handy late in games.
