Guest antz1uk Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 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.

Also getting skinned by Ozil in SA didn't do his popularity any favours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TruToon94 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 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.
