Rocky Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 There's always at least one high profile casualty, shame really but there's no chance we'll win it so giving Shaw tournament experience for the future is a good idea I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tins Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Baines is first choice, so no point having Cole as back up. Nice to see some youngsters like Barkley, Sterling, Ox etc who all deserve to go, bit of flair in the team. Also really happy to see Lalana and Lambert going, two players who aren't scared to attack and not play "the England way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Looks like the squad is this: Hart Foster Forster Johnson Baines Shaw Cahill Jagielka Smalling Jones Gerrard Lampard Barkley Wilshere Milner Lallana Henderson Sterling Oxlade-Chamberlain Rooney Sturridge Lambert Welbeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK0wnag3 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Personally I'd have taken Kyle Walker, Tom Huddlestone, Andros Townsend, Andy Carroll and Jermaine Defoe. I'd have got rid of Chris Smalling, Frank Lampard, James Milner, Danny Welbeck and Ricky Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Looks like the squad is this: Hart Foster Forster Johnson Baines Shaw Cahill Jagielka Smalling Jones Gerrard Lampard Barkley Wilshere Milner Lallana Henderson Sterling Oxlade-Chamberlain Rooney Sturridge Lambert Welbeck Agree. Not sure how anyone can moan about this squad. Personally delighted with it and Roy has been very brave. For years now England managers have needed to gamble and haven't. For instance taking only 7 defenders and dropping walker had to be done. No need for him at all when Jones and Smalling can cover. For instance Capello took Stephen Warnock to SA 2010 and he was never going to be used. Fair play to Roy if that's what he takes, it's a young and promising squad with the right senior pros in. Just a shame Cole isn't going but difficult when he's not been playing and the other two have been awesome. Also a shame some have been so dismissive of Cole as well. Really impressive 23 though.

One of England's greatest ever left backs for sure. Nowhere near, from my time ,Terry Cooper ,Mick Mills or Stuart Pearce all game changers. Ashley Cole ,steady but often selected because there was noone else. All IMHO of course . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Can't disagree with much of that. If I had to nail my colours to the mast, going into a World Cup final, I'd have Cole's experience over Shaw's potential, but we won't win it, so like others have said - it will be excellent experience for him and Cole hasn't played much.

Get what your saying But the written press leaked it and it was fact. I guess all cole did was confirm it to stop speculation as no doubt he was in undated with calls etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always Believesham Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 win fkall with that catspiss milner and donkey welbeck I don't like Wellbeck but he does do well in an England shirt, he causes trouble and scores some pretty scrappy goals Depressing looking at that lot - Jones and Smalling ? Nowhere near good enough, just making up the numbers same for a lot of them tbh. We aint got a prayer of getting out of the group stage. There have to be other players that can be taken instead of Jones and Smalling - I'd even put Caulker ahead of Smalling, not had a tragic season despite playing for that lot. Always comes out of games with glowing reports and that's in a side that got hilariously relegated. Sean Dyche discussed John Terry on Soccer Am (well, he was prompted) but I'd have taken him over the chuckle brothers Smalling and Jones. They are capable obviously as they have been brought in to one of the world brands and market leaders in bringing in young talent and developing them - but could they both have world cups like Hargreaves did a few years ago?

Steve Watts Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Where has this list come from? Thought it was a 30 man provisional being announced today, not the final 23, in which case all the speculation above is just that.....speculation!

Midlands Robin Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Unlike Mr Cole, I've yet to receive a phone call from Roy telling me I'm not going to Rio so I've still got my fingers crossed. In case I don't make it in to the final 30 I'd just like to announce my retirement from international football after this World Cup. I will remain on standby just should there be any injuries until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I do think Jones is good enough and would benefit from a full season at centre back. Smalling's concentration has to be a worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why that ass wipe Dyke wants to introduce B teams, backward thinking. He's turned his back on England, time to move on. I'm not a fan of Smalling and would have taken Stones or Caulker for the experience, but I'd never go back to JT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Considering the supposed "state" of English football, that's a relatively strong squad, especially considering the age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
