Monkeys Fist 41330 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Beckham won't be going- tore his Achilles tendon against Chievo this weekend. Could be game over for his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson, Agbonlahor and Bent I like that team...Did think about Hart but he is yet to get a cap no? Also J.Cole i like but can he do a job on the left? More use in a 433. Is it just me but i fuckin hate Lampard....most overated player in the PL for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonTheMag 4 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 ------------Green---------- Johnson-Terry-Ferdinand-Cole ------------Barry------------ Lennon-----------------J Cole ------Gerrard--Lampard----- -----------Rooney----------- Subs: Milner, Crouch, Defoe, Baines, SWP, James, Lescott Wont happen, cause Capello loves 4-4-2 too much, but Rooney has been phenomenal playing as a lone striker this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7117 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 If Jagielka picks back up where he left off (prior to his injury) then he should definitely be the first reserve for centre back (and behind Terry and Ferdinand on reputation alone). The fact that Crouch is considered good enough to start by many is worrying. Probably down to most people thinking that Defoe and Rooney can't play well together.

Barney 0 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) Lee Dixon, despite having a bit of Lawro about him, is doing an interesting position-by-position study for the England WC squad. He discusses why Brown should go in ahead of Johnson Brown might be the better option when you consider who might play in front of him on the right of England's midfield, too. With Theo Walcott a favourite of Capello's, do you need an attacking full-back behind him? He's done both full back positions.

Besty 4 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'd definitely take Joe Cole like, and on current form I'd take Downing before A. Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7117 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) ...Most of Crouch's goals have been easy goals against shit opposition. Fair play to him, he's half decent, but I think there's several better forwards in the picture. In the premier league where the standard of opposition is on average better than the countries he's been scoring against (Belarus, Andorra, Trinidad & Tobago, Egypt in which 1 was clearly off-side) he has a return of 5 in 29.

I hear that a lot as an argument against crouch but you can only score against those put in front of you and, for the most part, as one of the top ten teams in the world we are constantly put up against what we'd call "shit opposition" what with the seedings and such you may as well criticise messi for not scoring against teams better than barca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 While I do think Crouch is a bit of a 'flat track bully', that sort of player can be invaluable, especially in a tournament and especially since England can often struggle against so-called minnows.

Granted he offers a different dimension to most of the other candidates. He could possibly be the only not passed it sort of 'post' player that England have as an option.
