Looks bare doesnt it?

Still, i'll be there at Wembley on Wednesday, secretly hoping England lose to nail another nail in McLaren's coffin

 

[Les Biehn]

I give up. James, Brown, Campbell, Neville and Owen should not be in the squad.

You are quite right. Especially since Terry, Gerrard, Owen etc are all injured/ short of match fitness.

Who should play up top from those lot then? For me, Owen if fit and Darren Bent

 

[Beach Hut]

Where is Carlton Palmer ?

 

[Uncle Buck]

I give up. James, Brown, Campbell, Neville and Owen should not be in the squad.

Only striker with a goal scoring record.

Been here before.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Hopefully is Hargreaves is fit there can be a Hargreaves / Gerrard centre Mid. Please no more fatty Lampard!

 

[Lokki 7]

Alan Smith? How can he warrant a place as a striker. A sad state of affairs.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Owen is our best striker at that level and James has been the best english keeper in the prem for a season or two.

Neville, Brown, Smith and Dyer can all DO one though...

Exactly, Big Sam plays him at CM atm as well.

I thought Gerrard was out for this one, oh well.

 

[clarkey]

I thought Gerrard was out for this one, oh well.

He has a broken toe, but can play on Sunday so i presume he is OK for England. Cant see who else will score.

Although David James has played well recently, he is always capable of making a huge cock up.

I know all of the alternative may not be fit but please for the love of good, WES BROWN!!!!!!! The wings worry me a little bit but apart from teh injured Lennon I can't think of any alternatives.

And nothing conclusive came out of it so what's your point?

I'm sure you will bang on about Bent not being good enough as was conclusively proved by his 2, yes that's right, 2 England caps.

 

[Silent Bob]

I give up. James, Brown, Campbell, Neville and Owen should not be in the squad.

James, Campbell, Owen, why not?

The other two are shite obviously.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Owen (Newcastle) - Dean Ashton, Gabriel Agbonlahor

Hmmm, I would just leave this thread now.

 

[Uncle Buck]

And nothing conclusive came out of it so what's your point?

I'm sure you will bang on about Bent not being good enough as was conclusively proved by his 2, yes that's right, 2 England caps.

Yet Owen came back into the squad, not fully fit and still scored.

Shows the difference.

End of.

 

[Statto]

Typical Mclaren

 

[pasty]

He has a broken toe, but can play on Sunday so i presume he is OK for England. Cant see who else will score.

According to The Torygraph this morning, he will play for Liverpool against Chelsea with painkilling injections, and then be withdrawn from the England squad by Benitez to rest his toe.
