I quite like the look of this squad, there's a bit of formation flexibility in there with some good young exciting players. it's not always about picking the best 11, but about picking the best team. Also we seem to have weaned out the older guard who have had too much club rivalry involved which i think has affected their relationships/bonding

 

cole/terry/ferdinand/bridge etc.. i can imagine all the shenanigans and fall outs couldnt have made for a happy camp in the past

                  Hart

Johnson Jagielka Cahill Baines

                Gerrard

        Henderson  Lallana

  Sturridge              Sterling

                Rooney

 

I like that attack. That midfield and fullbacks will be played out of the park by better teams. Those fullbacks are very 'meh' defensively as well. Good CB pairing and okish goalkeeper. Will be up to Rooney if you guys want to have a successful one I guess. Seems a lot of team are relying on one player to succeed.

Lots of attacking options there. Good to see that Sterling has come on and will be going on merit, not the name of his club like when he won his first cap. I think Lambert is under-rated as a footballer. He's an English center forward so the assumption is he must be one-dimensional. Anyway, lots of players comfortable on the ball and a good bit of pace, even without Feo.

 

The squad looks pretty weak defensively though, with Johnson starting, Jones and Smalling as backups, and Gerrard and/or Wilshere as the screen. It's not their natural game. Gerrard could be seen floundering behind Gouff a la Barry vs. Ozil for our goal at Anfield yesterday. I tried to come up with an English DM worth taking but the best I could do was Jack Cork. He's canny, but you can't just throw him into a big tournament.

Lamps is a debatable one. Has more yellow cards than goals this season. I'd rather see Carrick as an extra DM

 

If we are picking based on form, surely Barry gets in over Carrick?

 

Yep, had a very good season for Everton.

 

Nee point man. Lampard shouldn't be there, but it should be in exchange for someone who might actually be useful in the future for England. Stones/Flanny/Carroll.

 

Agreed.

 

So if we need a goal off the bench you'd rather which unpicked midfielder come on instead of Lampard? Course he should be there. The reason he hasn't got as many this season is that arsehole Mourinho playing him as a DM.

Lampard played further forward away to Athletico and looked way of the pace.

Wouldn't mind him tbh but Carrick has a small edge in terms of experience in Europe. Also getting skinned by Ozil in SA didn't do his popularity any favours  :lol:

Doesn't even begin to address the point, like. I'm not saying start him.

FFS, Keeps those wankers out of the World Cup. That one game they were banned at Euro 2012 was bliss.

Milner, Wellbeck and Smalling all in squad.  FFS how embarrassing. Possibly the worst England squad we've had in a while. Such a dearth of English talent at the moment.

 

I just know we'll get there, Rooney won't ever be dropped despite the fact that he just doesn't perform on the international level. Gerrard and Lampard will fizzle as usual and it'll be another disappointing summer. Only difference this time might just be that we won't make it through the group stage.

Its not even the worst squad in two years, OTT reactions are the best though.
