mozy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 You have to though don't you? Think that was the reason they increased from a 22 to 23 man squad in the first place. North Korea tried to flout this rule in 2010 IIRC, and they were told in no uncertain terms that the '23rd man' would only be allowed to play as a goalkeeper, and not in his natural position as a striker.

Deuce Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 This is one of the stronger teams (rather than the usual mishmash of divas) I've seen England put together in quite some time. Think you'll do well. The Alli-Dier-Kane spine will be crucial for team cohesion. Im not sure thats a spine. I am not sure how comfortable I would be with a spine that ended half way down my back.

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 About as good as a midfield as we can pick imo. Not so sure about the back 4 or the front 3 however, we'll see how it goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 because playing wilshere over drinkwater whom actually won something makes sense Maybe because he's a better player? Only playing once in a blue moon does wonder's for peoples assessments of players. Wilshere can be good, he has barely played. Drinkwater has won the league and Henderson has had a strong season. We should reward achievement not pass it onto yesterdays great hope for the future who has achieved nothing. Wilshere will be nailed on injured for the damn tournament anyway. I can understand the assessing his fitness argument better. It's only a friendly but I also don't really think we should be experimenting hugely with the starting line up at this point either. I'm sorry but what has wilshere done to justify even being at the tourney for ages? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 because playing wilshere over drinkwater whom actually won something makes sense Maybe because he's a better player? Exactly will never understand that mindset tbh, if we were basing selection on team success we'd be running Drinkwater and Noble out every game. Neither of who are good enough for international football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I hate the 'form' argument for selecting players, otherwise the journo cunts would have their way and the whole of the West Ham squad would be in. It's a mixture of form, talent and fit within a system/team. Hodgson clearly rates Wilshere and thinks he's crucial to any England success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mixture of form, talent and fit within a system/team. Hodgson clearly rates Wilshere and thinks he's crucial to any England success. Besides basing your team selection on the form of the current standard of the Premier League is asking to be knocked out early considering how shit it is.

Tiresias Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 It's not about immediate 'form' though, I don't rate noble much and west ham have achieved fuck all really this season. I don't really disagree that we should pick the best team rather than the form team, I just think Wilshere is way overrated honestly. I have seen him be absolutely mint but really fleetingly so. I hope he proves me wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
