6oclockcrew Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hart Walker Lescott Cahill Cole Young Gerrard Parker Ox-Chamberlain Rooney Welbeck Wouldnt have terry or rio anywhere near the squad, theyve both been shit for a long time, and have had shit seasons. The above team wont happen and they will both be there, we will go out in the group stages and people will say we did so because of an atmosphere in the camp because of them, or some s*** like that. Will have one eye on the england games but got money on holland so im doing it dutch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Carroll has to go. Great option off the bench Christ, no, why would we take a £35M donkey? FWIW: if I were Roy, my squad would be GK - Hart, Foster, Robinson DEF - Walker, Richards, A Cole, Baines, Cahill, Smalling, Jagielka, Lescott MID - Gerrard ©, Milner, Parker, Carrick, Rodwell, Henderson FW - Rooney, Defoe, Welbeck, Walcott, Moses, A Young I'd leave Terry behind on principle (the principle being that he's a donk, a ***** and just a horrible person), Ferdinand 'cos he's a fossil and Lampard because I've never thought much of him when playing for England. Moses (is he English???) deserves a place 'cos he's been ace this season. Defoe rather than Crouch 'cos I don't rate Crouch against decent international sides, and we've got a hellish group where technique matters more than height - pace will be useful.

The Fat Controller Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Assuming Scholes isn't tempted out of retirement: GK (3): Hart, Ruddy, Carson DEF (7): Richards, Walker, Cahill, Lescott, Jones, Cole, Baines MID (8): Young, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Parker, Gerrard, Milner, A Johnson, Walcott, Carrick FW (5): Rooney, Crouch, Carroll, Welbeck, Sturridge Seems to me a good mix of youth, potential, pace, form and versatility.

Admin Ian M Posted May 9, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 So Andy Carrol scores less goals than Torres, Not to mention Sturridge and yet most on here want Carroll to go because he played well for about 60 minutes against Chelsea....who are 6th..over two games...And still won the fa cup and then rested a load of players at Anfield?!!?!! NO WAY should Andy Carroll be taken to the f'in euros over the likes of Sturridge and welbeck! Absolute madness boys! It's all much of a muchness. In 2012, other than Rooney, no English qualified strikers have exactly set the world alight. In terms of PL goals, they have (appearances in brackets): Rooney 13 (16) Crouch 6 (17) Holt 6 (17) Welbeck 5 (16) Graham 5 (18) Defoe 4 (11) Zamora 4 (16) Bent 3 (7) Sturridge 2 (13) Carroll 2 (17) Maynard 0 (0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Strikers really concern me, Rooney has scored loads/well quite a lot because he is in a team that creates loads of goals. Put Defoe, Bent in that team they would as well. This is what concerns me about Wellbeck. I know he is a different kind of striker, but he just doesn't look international standard to me, no real wow factor from the kid, nothing that marks him out a special. For me if Bent is fit he has to go, the guy is the most natural finisher out there. I cannot think of another striker who would regularly hit the net like he did for that Charlton side, and I mean anyone, Where ever he has been he has banged in the goals, even when he was in and out of the side at Tottenham. if he fails he fails, but for me he has proved he can play as a striker up front on his own time and time again, as well as a player in a front two. Time to see if he can do it at the highest level. Fingers crossed he is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to see something fresh, which we wont it will be the same old rubbish, the undroppables. Id rather start an 11 who had never played an international but gave a s*** rather than the 'experienced' lot who always screw it up anyway.

Chivs Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Like a lot of people I'd leave Terry out. On principle. Or just because he isn't playing very well. I'd take Lampard and leave Gerrard, mainly because Lampard is playing in a winning team and Gerrard seems to have lost a lot. Joe Cole is a good call. Play him behind Couch for the first two games. Finally, I'd take Grant Holt. He's got a good touch and is great at bringing other players into the game. He'd be so surprised by his call up that he'd never give up trying. So: Hart Richards Cahill Lescott ACole Parker Lampard Oxlade-Chamberlain JCole Couch Nice mix of experience and youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Couch up front? that will give us some bite I would go Hart Richards Cahill Lescott Cole Barry Johnson (Adam)Parker Lampard Cole Bent Then when Rooney is back (if he goes) I would remove Lampard, drop Cole back into midfield and put Rooney in behind Bent Trying to get a little defensive protection in front on what would be a quite inexperienced defence, while trying to feed those up top.
