Cunnyfunt Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 We don't need to bring on Andy Carroll. If we have to resort throwing it into the mixer then we can just stick one of the centre halfs up there. As for Rashford's inexperience, this is true but Owen, Rooney and Walcott barely had any caps between them prior to their respective tournaments.

Wasn't Pele 16 or 17 when he debuted for Brazil in the World Cup? Not a lot of 'experience' but in a way that's a good thing, Rashford is worth a punt before all that raw talent is coached out of him. That first paragraph doesn't make any sense. You say Roy 'doesn't take risks' by not taking Defoe, yet he's picked an unproven 18-year-old in Rashford instead of an experienced, proven goalscorer. Surely that's much more of a risk than picking Defoe?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the real test was to not take Rooney and put in someone like Rashford, Defoe, or even Carroll. I like Roy, and I trust him, but if we are gonna win anything we cannot be hampered by sentiment, we need a ruthless coach, not a 'Yes' man to the FA. Agree with you on the Rooney situation! FWIW I would have taken Defoe, but if Hodgson selects Rashford for the 23 then that's a brave call. I feel the brave move would be playing two up front, Kane and Vardy, and leaving Rooney on the bench. It won't happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK! I can't have Defoe, but I would like Rashford, he could be the Joker in the pack. Rooney will play a deep lying role I reckon, as he is currently, plus with the odd goal in him, it is a difficult one, but we do look better going forward without him. wilshire is a good player but doesn't deserve to go, he has missed all season and is no where near match fit, Dele Ali is a better midfielder currently and would fill in for wilshires role in the side, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
