Klaus Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 For selfish reasons, it is probably good for us that he is not going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Wiltshire and Henderson barely kicked a ball all season yet they are going?? I was at the match on Friday last week in Sunderland, Henderson was absolutely shattered by the end of it. It will take at least 10 full matches before he is up to full match fitness... Wiltshire has every chance of breaking into 1000 pieces (along with Sturridge) leaving the squad depleted and completely lacking a plan B.... Gutted for Townsend, if anyone deserved a shout it was him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Milner is the only handy wide player we have now Townsend isn't going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Milner a handy wide player ? Wilshere getting picked ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Apparently Milner has had loads of assists this season. Not sure where he's been playing but L'pool fans seem to rate him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Milner's looked handy on the wing whenever I've watched Liverpool after their little revival. Klopp clearly rates him too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Knew he had a few assists but average player at best just works hard which should be the minimum. Still can't understand how that little prick Wilshire gets picked though! Even if he wasn't made of glass, he's awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 It was always a long shot for Townsend, but there are average and unfit players going which I find strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Townsend's form probably came too late. Drinkwater not going is an absolute disgrace tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Milner I kind of understand, but Barkley offers nothing, Sturridge likely to break down. There are no genuine wide players and Townsend would be ideal as sub. Fuck them all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I wouldn't take Barkley or Sturridge, probably not Wilshere, Henderson or Sterling either. I'm aware that leaves a lot of gaps! I would pick international teams almost completely based on form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Townsend's form probably came too late. Drinkwater not going is an absolute disgrace tbf. Leaves them with only one defensive midfielder as well. Who sits deep if Dier goes down, Henderson? I don't really see the point in taking five out-and-out strikers. Sturridge should be probably be left home on form, Townsend would've made sense as a true wide fret. Don't have the wingers to play a standard 4-4-2. Options are limited in the 4-3-3, with really only Sterling and Lallana as the wide forwards. 4-4-2 diamond probably makes the most sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Teams who actually win the tournaments don't pick their players on form either like. There has to be a ballance, but I think Wilshere's inclusion is mental given he's been injured for as long as I can remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Imagine some of the stupid exclusions/inclusions over the years if you picked based on form alone. Has to be a balance, as Hans says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always good for Germany but club form would drastically fluctuate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, but the balance on this occasion is between a key player in a championship winning side and someone who doesn't actually play football. Edit: Actually, that's what hans said. Aye.

Tsunami Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 That squad offers very little variety, at some point you'd expect that we'll need something from the bench with 20 minutes or so left and what we'll have is a variant of who has been substituted. I'd have taken Townsend and I'd gave also taken Carroll. Assuming everyone stays fit Rashford will not get a game and Sturridge being the lazy selfish git that he is would operate best up top by himself with Rooney having to do his donkey work behind him. I can see Vardy being used as the something different from the bench being asked to play wider to a more central Kane or Sturridge. Hodgson is lining himself up for a shit load of criticism if we go out due an inability to change games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Wilshere, Henderson and Sturridge - all 3 is a bad move imo. 1 okay, maybe 2 but not all 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Do think there's more justification for bringing lads that have helped you win international tournaments, 100+ caps I'm guessing. Then there's forcing Henderson into your selection. It ain't the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm not saying he should be starting but Townsend would be very useful as an impact sub. Gives the team something different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
