jdckelly Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Not a chance he's above Jones and Smalling man. neither of them ever seem to play at cb which is a big weakness for judging them as cbs. Plus Jones always looks like an accident waiting to happen at cb to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm not one to get carried away but where does Iron Mike sit in the pecking order of English CBs who are eligible for the WC? Probably 4th by my reckoning of current form: Jagielka Cahill Lescott Williamson Jones Smalling However, I know that selection for England isn't based on form, it's based on who you play for, so he won't be on the plane to Brazil. Even Terry and Ferdinand are still higher in the pecking order than Big Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a frightening thought and very indicative of just how poor the pool of English players is when Williamson justifies getting into an England WC squad (although I reiterate - Roy will never pick him for the team as long as English CBs play at 'big' clubs like Man U).

Ronaldo Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 'Even Terry'? Terry's the best English CB by a mile. Quite sad, but there you go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Don't think anyone is suggesting a starting 11 place but on current form and if that lasts the season then why can't he make the squad ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 It's as simple as him not being England level and his limitations will be badly exposed at the international stage. He will also not get the chance to sit back as he does at his club. England push forward and he will be a sitting duck to the slaughter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 There was a moment against Southampton where he got isolated down in the right back area. Anyway he got a toe on the ball then stood up to the the player then crunched him with a tackle which went out for a throw in. The crowd near him seemed to go crazy and I'm pretty sure he got his own little chat going Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
