World Cup. England 23 announced

[grummitts gloves]

Weak at the back, not great up front. Wheel lost.

 

[somerset]

The I hate Man Utd crew are out in force today!

For fook sake,..... its nothing to do with Man U, I dont care about who they play for, I simply think they are a little below what is expected at world cup finals..... ok now?

 

[somerset]

9 goals from 25 games coming off the wing is hardly "abysmal". between them, Sturridge and Welbeck will stretch defenses.

He doesnt come off the wing,.. he plays up front most of the games I have seen.

 

[Ernest]

About the best we've got, at least he has finally sussed the likes of Cleverly out

 

[perseus]

Wingless wonders

Blame it on the injuries. Townsend and Walcott would have given the squad an edge. Ashley Young overlooked or naff?

Curtis Davies (Hull) come have been added as a stand-by?

 

[Brian Fantana]

He doesnt come off the wing,.. he plays up front most of the games I have seen.

This.

He's been picked in the squad as a striker, not a winger. If he's not in the squad to play through the middle, I'd rather have a genuine winger in there instead.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

This.

He's been picked in the squad as a striker, not a winger. If he's not in the squad to play through the middle, I'd rather have a genuine winger in there instead.

Redman maybe, I doubt he would be in squad if Walcott and Townsend had be fit.

So whose better then? Who would you take instead? There is nobody!

 

[Brian Fantana]

Good point.

Townsend getting injured is really annoying, but had he gone off the boil a bit for Spurs beforehand?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Wasnt playing, Lennon (who has been dire) was getting in ahead of him

 

[Ravids]

Couldn't have really picked a better squad tbh, not sure what Jones is dong there though, he is crap and has had a poor season.

Not sure about Forster too, but unless Hart get's injured/suspended I don't think either Foster or Forster will play a single minute, except maybe against Costa Rica if by then we have secured a F16 place (which is unlikely).

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Let's be honest.

That's as good/exciting squad as Roy could have picked.

Delighted that naturally talented footballers like Barkley, OX and Lallana will get to go.

Well done Roy.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Where's the best player in the world, zaha?

 

[strings]

I'm happy with that. I'm not convinced we would be able to whether the storm if we were under the cosh, but we have bags of attacking ourselves.

Tactics will have to be to score loads, and hope that we don't conceed too many!

 

[MarioOrlandi]

I don't think even Palace fans would be pushing Murray's chances this season. Since he's been back, he's mostly been on the bench.

Doesn't mean he's not a good player (clearly he is), but I'll be surprised if he features in Pulis's first choice XI much next season.

Oh good can we have him back on loan

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Imagine Warren Aspinall having to commentate if Foster or Forster were to get a game.

You could listen to the entire ninety minutes on the radio and still not have a clue which one had been picked.

 

[Laridae]

Just finished watching the press conference. Have to say I was very impressed with Roy's comments.

 

[Puppet Master]

Well, it's youthful and it's looking to the future.

Meh.

 

[somerset]

So whose better then? Who would you take instead? There is nobody!

I would prefer Stones and Caroll instead of Smalling and Welbeck for sure. Jones can just about manage to be a reserve utility man,.... water boy.

 

[keaton]

You've probably watched him more times than me, but he's got to be a better finisher than Welbeck. Heck, I'm a better finisher than Welbeck.

England's record with and without recently is silly. Without him on the pitch we haven't scored in 8 games or something
