England World Cup Starting line-up

[Schrödinger's Toad]

and u can't drop gerrard who is the best all-round midfielder in the world....

You can if he hasn't played really well for England in five years. Talent means nothing if you can't use it.

f*** sake.
WHEN will people get away from this idea that Gerrard and Lampard MUST PLAY together ?

 

[Redhead]

[GK] James
[RB] Neville
[LB] A Cole
[CB] Ferdinand
[CB] Campbell
[LM] J Cole
[RM] Beckham
[CM] Lampard
[CM] Gerrard
[CF] Rooney
[CF] Owen

If I were to drop a centre midfielder for a holding midfielder I would play Hargreves the only successful English Holding Midfielder.

[GK] James

I got this far.

Go and stand in the corner of the class.

 

[enigma]

David James....Why oh why.

 

[Easy 10]

Aw gawd, he's got Campbell in there as well.

 

[Redhead]

Robinsons big fat and consequently things hit him, not actually that good a keeper.

John Terry is too rough and tumble for international football, playing against top class players, like last Tuesday, count the fouls against him, Campbell brings experience to the side.

Redheads been at the ale

 

[Redhead]

Tea total, if you could see my face its dead pan (thats dead pan pan not hit with pan)

David James is a better keeper than Paul Robinson

You had me going there, I must admit.

He is, Paul Robinson is like MM lucky, when his luck runs out he'll go on an Albionesque streak.

I'd like to see Sven try a 4-5-1 system before we go to the world cup. could be useful against the stronger countries.

Robinson (GK)
Neville (RB)
Terry (CB)
Carragher (CB)
Cole/Bridge (LB)
Carrick (holding midfielder)
Beckham (RM)
Lampard (CM)
Gerrard (CM)
Cole (LM)
Rooney (CF)

This is blinding...... James better than Robinson...brilliant mate... Are you related to him?

 

[Redhead]

Don't think so, David James is more agile and experienced that Robinson, also he doesnt play for Spurs, which is a big plus.

He is more agile? Hmm maybe...he's also more error prone and shit at crosses/corners etc.... I can think of any number of high profile clangers, whereas Robinson makes relatively few.

Granted he has made a few mistakes but Beckham missed a penalty ( well numerous) and wasn't dropped, surely worth another look before the World Cup?

Well Mr Head, you are clearly as mad as a bucket of frogs. You even make Sven sound like a tactical footballing genius. I shall bid you and your madcap England schemes goodnight.

Everyone seems to have this huge infatuation with people like Ronaldinho and Messi etc this is because we see them from a distance, Im sure people in spain and Brazil are saying the same about our team being fearful of our players, its only because we criticize our own players so much that we seem to have all but written our chances off. On our day we are without doubt a match for any team in the world bar none, look at Brazil who they got in defence? Lucio at centre half who is a frustrated centre forward and the Leeds reject Roque Junior an aging Roberto Carlos and Cicinho who are both better going forward than defending, I can see it being a dissapointing tournament for Brazil and anyone betting on them at short odds must be mad.
