Will Rollason Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/10497297/World-Cup-2014-England-Squad-Selector-pick-your-23-then-compare-to-our-choices.html Some of the pundits only picking 5 mids?? 4-3-3 / 4-2-4 Back four picks itself and Hart starts. Apart from that i got confused after about 10 seconds!! Maybe keep Gerrard and Henderson, they are used to the roles, in front of a back four and tell any 4 of these to spread out and enjoy themselves; Barkley- sturridge- rooney- Lallana- wilshere- sterling- chamberlain. Take Lambert if we need a number 9? Not thought this through much mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Shaw should really go ahead of Cole, Shaw is putting in good performances where as Cole can't even get in the starting line up anymore. Lallana should also start as well, a player whose right on top of their game at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first team is young and exciting, whereas I can only see hogdson going for a team like my second I'd add Rooney to your side, will still be around for the Russia world cup so shouldn't be discarded 15 goals so far this season and probably a good few assists.

Yeah, I would have. Just couldn't fit him in unless it went Lallana Rooney Ox/Sterling Sturridge Which I guess is just as good, although its finally a fight for places and a nice dilemma for places, there's more than enough good players fighting for players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Enormous Turnip Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 The 11 I'd like to see: Hart Johnson Cahill Terry Baines/ Shaw Gerrard - Henderson Sterling - Rooney - Lallana Sturridge Keeping the holding mid and central defence partnerships in club. I'm pretty sure Terry won't go though. This is just the best 11 on current form, for me they pick themselves (apart from left back where I'd be happy with either of those two - not Cole though!)

LondonBristolian Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I don't think there's any good reason to take 8 defenders. Realistically defenders get used a lot less than midfielders or attackers and we've got central defenders who can cover as right backs (not brilliantly admittedly but our right backs aren't great as it is). Far better to have options on the bench when we need a win. So (assuming Rodriguez is out and Wilshere hasn't played enough on his return) I'd go for: Hart/Forster/Foster Glen Johnson/Jagielka/Cahill/Smalling/Jones/Baines/Shaw Gerrard/Henderson/Carrick/Barkley/Lallana/Sterling/Oxlade-Chamberlain/Milner/Ravel Morrison Rooney/Sturridge/Welbeck/Lambert I'd love to see a front-three of Sturridge, Sterling and Welbeck. Not necessarily the best three individuals but I reckon they could add pace and fluidity beyond anything England has had in years. Whether that leaves Rooney on the bench or as an attacking midfielder, I'm not too sure. At the moment I'd say Lallana is possibly better suited to play behind the front three but we shall see.

RedRock Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Are we going to out-football any decent team? Any team come to think of it? Nope. We're third rate at best. So Carroll has to be in - revert to the traditional battering ram that the foreign teams aren't familiar with and we might, just might, sneak a victory.

Foreign countries never ever produce big, muscular strong target men and all the defenders from all the other countries in the tournament will definitely have never played against tall, strong strikers before.

Drogba, Carew, Lukaku and Ibrahimovic are all as English as they come. Erm.. at least 80% of the teams in Brazil won't be using a target man. Beyond Carroll, Lambert and Crouch not many in the Premiership. Of course the European leagues all play the English style so your point is proven. Silly me.
