Dokko Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The same Wenger that has said he would never take the job as it should always be an Englishman in charge? That doesn't really matter does it? We're talking hypotheticals and besides, situations change, if arsenal dispose of Wenger in the summer and he wants to stay in England (especially London) then there's no better job for him than the England gig. So in your opinion is Woy is the only man for the job? He's your choice to take us forward? I really don't care either way, England are shit, the FA are cunts, and international football is a drain on club football which really is second best these days to CL and top domestic competitions, but if I were the FA I'd be doing everything to get him in, I doubt arsenal would stand in the way either.

LRD Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Maybe Woy thinks Taylor is a midfielder too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 In the game against San Marino playing Carrick at the back sounds like a decent idea to me. Better footballer, won't be tested defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 So one manager doesn't pick Taylor because he thinks a midfielder, and the other one selects him and plays a midfielder in defence anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Did anyone else notice on Sunday when the ball hit his hand and went for a corner, Taylor begin to grimace and rub his thigh as if he'd been hit there? He does subtle little thing like this all the time. I think a PE teacher taught him it when he was really young and it's embedded in his subconscious and he just can't stop.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 So one manager doesn't pick Taylor because he thinks a midfielder, and the other one selects him and plays a midfielder in defence anyway? You couldn't make it up. I hope this story isn't true about Carrick, as he'd be an abortion of a CB. Has he played there before for England or Man Utd? Seem to remember him doing so on one occasion, may have made it up, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 He's definitely played there a few times for Man Utd but then again that was during an injury crisis outside a transfer window and I don't think Ferguson had a choice of all of the fit English actual centre halves to fill the gap.

Stottie Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yakubu had easy pickings for Blackburn against Carrick at CB last year. I think it was the game before we beat them 3-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Would it not make more sense to play Carrick in his actual position and let a proper centre back gain some international experience? Of course it would. Even if the theory of a ball-player at the back vs San Marino would help us play it out from the back, it's completely unnecessary given the level of the opponent, and will do nothing for our future defensive cohesiveness.
