england squad for denmark friendly
- Thread starter brightonmark1234

Am I the only person still unhappy about Ben Foster's inclusion.
Foster huffs off because he's not as good as Joe Hart.
Hart gets drunk on power and becomes sh*te.
Foster comes sniveling back saying he didn't mean it.
Stick it up your arse sunshine, you didn't want to play, now you're not.

The useless **** who has managed Halmstads BK, Bristol City, IK Oddevold, Örebro SK, Malmö FF, Neuchâtel Xamax, Switzerland, Inter Milan, Blackburn Rovers, Grasshopper Zurich, Copenhagen, Udinese, United Arab Emirates, Viking, Finland, Fulham, Liverpool, West Bromwich Albion and England.
I think we should sack him and put 'Albumen' from the internet in charge, who thinks we'll win things if we tell Rooney to 'play the Suarez role (apart from the biting).
Job done.
No, you aren't. It's what I believe is known as a 'Carragher'.
You don't want to play for your country? Fine. **** off. Don't come back.

I'd rather some of the lads in the under 21's would get a chance, especially for a friendly. Some really exciting and skill full players in there atm. After a look through the current youth squad the future of our national team is very bright

More to the point - why isn't Rohan Ince in the Under 21's!!

His attitude suggests a red card waiting to happen!

Seems a bit top heavy on midfielders and goalkeepers. Not sure why you need 12 midfielders and 4 goalkeepers for a friendly. Other than its size, the squad selected is what you would expect. It's unlikely that a pragmatist like Roy Hodgson would be calling up several uncapped curveballs 3 months before a World Cup tournament and I don't really see who should be in the squad who isn't there. Luke Shaw's elevation is an exception because of his talent and because Ashley Cole has been so short of games at Chelsea that Hodgson has to give consideration to leaving him out of the World Cup squad.
Hodgson will always find space in his squad for players who work hard when the team doesn't have the ball, which in fairness, will probably be over half the time in England's matches against Uruguay and Italy, hence why he always picks James Milner and Tom Cleverley. I'd say that he is overcautious though and in doing so, he overlooks the nub of the problem, which is that if you focus on picking a group of players that are accurate passers when put under pressure, then you will be chasing after possession a lot less and won't then be knackered at the business end of the tournament.

Doubtful. I'm probably younger than you but i can remember a team with Carlton Palmer in the squad.
To be fair you'd probably get us to stumble through the group stage and then go out to the first top class team welcome up against. Which is no worse than any of the other managers who were paid millions of pounds to do the same job.

The same squad that probably had Geoff Tomas, Earl Barrett & Andy Sinton in it.

My team at the World Cup would be something like-
Hart
Walker Cahill Lescott Baines
Gerrard
Barkley Henderson Sterling
Rooney
Sturridge

Caulker and Smalling. We really are scraping the barrel. Problem i cant think of too many players who i would choose in front.
If we had some real talent to choose from then i wouldnt be happy with that squad. But the manager has to work with what hes got. And when whats hes got is mediocre, you have to expect a mediocre squad.
