Cronky Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I'm hoping Capello is only going to take Ferdinand, Terry and King as specialist centre backs, because he'll have Carragher and Barry who can fill in there if necessary. In any case, I don't think the other contenders - Upson and Dawson - are any better. That would free up one more place in the midfield for SWP, who I really think should go.

Ronaldo Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Adam Johnson should definitely be a starter, on the right or left. Based on what? He's good but he's nowhere near the finished article and not quite yet up to the standard of Joe Cole and Lennon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the type of player you'd want to be able to bring on if your wingers are struggling, much more so than SWP and Walcott. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I like Walcott, just because he scares the shit out of fullbacks. Even when he came on in the first leg vs. Barca, he brought the game to life (and scored) purely because he is unbelievably quick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Our ESPN thing is awful: http://www.worldcupbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Nigeria1.jpg Yes, that is Mikel Obi flying on a bird. Played to a 1-1 draw with Colombia today. I liked the look of the team tbh. Obviously the result isn't what we would have desired, but several players impressed and the team was pretty industrious and played well together. Haruna Lukman was pretty good again and got himself a goal. It's absolutely imperative for us that Obi Mikel and Ike Uche get themselves fully fit, though. It's not all in place, yet but I think we can make noise in SA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 You must be loving the free flowing, sexy football of Lagerbäck with your one goal scored under him so far The players seemed to have some sort of plan. That was a massive improvement to what we've been treated too under Amodu Tbf man, it's only been two matches, both against decent teams. The team looked prepared and was cohesive. We do need Mikel in the middle though, as I thought the midfield lacked the composure to feew the ball well to strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not all in place, yet but I think we can make noise in SA. Bit off topic, but I've wondered for a while if you had an opinion on the old Obi Mikel transfer saga when he signed for Man Utd, but then went to Chelsea and in that way fucked over his Norwegian club, Lyn, who now are bankrupt and facing relegation to the Norwegian third tier?
