England Euro 2012 squad [Merged Threads]

[Silent Bob]

f*** it thats a terrible squad.

Real reality check when you see the squad France have just announced.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Johnson, Sturridge, Jakielka and Henderson are stand by's.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Only 3 centrebacks ?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Jordan Henderson on standby but Grant Holt not. Are you pulling my plonker?

As for the rest it's the same old. What's the odds that Oxlade-Chamberlain 'does a Theo' and doesn't even get a minute?

At least I can plan some stuff to do with the kids when the group stages are finished I suppose.

 

[Munkfish]

What a load BULLSHIT.

I'v been looking forward to seeing a new squad and is the same shit served up.

Back to not caring about the England team, it was fun while it lasted Roy.

 

[brunswick]

not impressed.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Oh well JT made it, there goes my interest in this tournament. Terry, Gerrard and Lampard all there to remind us what utter failures they have been as England footballers.

dont agree with the ones in bold.
i'd have gone for no 3rd keeper with richards filling the place instead.
Rio instead of JT
sturridge for downing
Holt for defore.

5 strikers for me was a must with rooney out for 2 games.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Lots of width there.

Downing is a shit decision. Scholes would be so much more to the squad.

 

[keithbeaky]

Only 3 centrebacks ?

Terry, Lescott, Cahill and Jones? Though I guess you cant count Lescott. So yes only 3

 

[Ninja Elephant]

To all the people moaning about the squad, that's the best England have. Like it or not, that's the best we can do. Micah Richards MUST be injured, there's no other reason for him not being in there, surely. Nobody left out who is any better. Scholes and Foster, presumably, said no.

 

[The Giant Bolster]

pfffffft - probably, almost the same squad that fabio would of picked - in my opinion.

 

[kevo]

Same old, same old... Wish Capello had stayed. At least Bobby Z might have got in there.

 

[Knightsworld]

Oh well JT made it, there goes my interest in this tournament. Terry, Gerrard and Lampard all there to remind us what utter failures they have been as England footballers.

Pretty much THIS.

Fucks Sake.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Apparently Jordan Henderson to replace Parker if he doesn't recover from injury.

Blimey, a thought it might be a quite exciting squad but has Terry, Walcott, Downing, Henderson - oh well, won't bother watching any of it then.

 

[bluenitsuj]

I think that is an awful squad. Looks like Hodgson has gone for a safe team, rather than going for it. Same old same old.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

What did anyone expect when Hodgson was given the job

 

[Silent Bob]

Only 3 centrebacks ?

Phil Jones

 

[Driver8]

Same old same old.

This.

I had hope Roy would have had the bottle to drop some of the dross but it would appear not.

Can't see this side getting out the group stages.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Terry, Lescott, Cahill and Jones? Though I guess you cant count Lescott. So yes only 3

Why can't you count Lescott as a centre back?
