David28 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Don't see that Rio missing out is that big problem tbh. As Mourinho would say "he's an important player, but we have other players, too" (or something like that). The only real vital England player is Rooney imo.

Guest toonlass Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Tbh, it could be a blessing in disguise for England. Rio has been injury prone all season and could have broken down with his back after the tournament had started. Get Dawson in there, and let the lad prove himself! gtfo What?

Rooney definitely is the killer, but the prospect of Upson/Dawson/Carragher shits me up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 On a positive note if Gerrard is captain for the tournament it could be the kick up the arse he needs. He's had a shite season by his standards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Much prefer Gerrard as Captain. Rio has been poor for England recently and its not a big loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 It's actually pretty damn gutting that Rio is out. When on form he is our best CB by far We're now going to have to go into the WC with either King (crazy knees), Dawson (unproven), Upson (shit) or Carra (shit and old) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 s***. We can't play Ledley King's Knees King with dodgy knees would still do a better job then Carragher and Upson (and even Terry tbh). Ferdinand was badly out of form anyway so no big deal. Thats ridiculous,he only plays once every two weeks.I wouldn't have taken him at all because of this and the fact he was awful against Mexico.Carragher for all of his faults is a safer option.

The difference at CB between the two halves was huge. Not happy Rio's injured, and I don't expect Dawson to play, but I'm not too worried about this injury. The only one that would really fuck us over would be Rooney (or possible Ashley Cole) and even with Rooney missing we might surprise a few teams with an orthodox 442. Crouch can be an absolute nightmare for oppos if the refs don't do him over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I would definately call walcott up. In carra, upson, king and terry we still have enough cover there I just think walcotts pace coupled with the fact he has got a huge point to prove will make him a valuable assett Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
