kpc Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 OK. I'll start by crossing out Wes Brown and inserting Gareth Barry.

???? Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Beckham starting, no way. A bit player now good to come on when players are tired; game needs slowing down (ie we're winning) or to breakdown/chanfge play. No way a start but in the squad yes. I'd take Crouch too and not C.Cole (I said it) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/9932-first-11-and-7-subs-for-england-squad-south-africa-2010/#findComment-295394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
???? Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 and agree with KPC on Barry. Funny though A year ago or so ago Walcott was a shoe in but now...

kpc Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Joe Cole and Lennon. Not sure about Lescott - with Cahill out of way, think places in central defence up for grabs.

kpc Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Walcott for his pace if properly fit. Suspect Heskey will make cut because of lack of competition, for this reason wouldn't disregard Carlton Cole. Rule Ashley Young out. See what late candidates get picked for the friendly against Egypt - think there a few places still up for grabs.

Easties EL Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 James Milner should be ahead of Lennon, SWP and Ashely Young. Milner has guts to drive forward with the ball and creative something that will lead to at least a half chance or a goal.

Easties EL Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 I am confused.com over Rio Ferdinand getting the captains armband? Surely Gerrard. But, his role is much more tamed than the one his plays at Liverpool. I wish England would of given Gerrard the free role to boss the central midfield and push forward to support the strikers. This however, will not happen, with Lampard and Rooney in the squad, as they both too have more of a free role in the England set up, which restricts Gerrard. Gerrard, I hope in certain games, especially for the right games, can be given this free role, which nine times out of time, displays why he is World Class.Capello has done two things, which Mc'Clown didn't (McClaren)* Hardcore Discipline during England duty. No Ego's when Capello's in charge.* Players sticking to the their positions and keeping to their tactics.But I am not confident for our chances. Our midfield attacking wingers lack any real solid world class potential. It's all very good, having plenty of pace and fancy stepovers. But an attacking winger needs to have composure and the ability to stay on the bloody wing and not drift into the centre of the pitch. Lennon is very hit and miss, he had a terrible 08/09 season. Things have picked up for him in the Prem this season, but to be fair those were games against Wigan and Bolton right? - maybe I am being too harsh.The same goes for SWP, Ashely Young, Walcott, Joe Cole, Plenty of potential, but far from World Class. However, without contridicting myself too much, James Milner has some real heart and desire, to push foward, get into a tackle and his goal/assist ratio is pretty impressive. He's 100% worth a punt.Sorry spelling/grammar errors at least it's not txt talk. c u 2mozza blud, EDF 4 life Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/9932-first-11-and-7-subs-for-england-squad-south-africa-2010/#findComment-296379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easties EL Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 We have a great first 11 and our squad do have players who have the potential to shine at the World Cup. However can we win the world cup? Probably not. But it won't be for the reason over who will be our captain! We have plenty of leaders of the pitch, Ferdinand, Gerrard, Rooney, Lampard, Terry. So for the whole captain debate, it doesn't really materr who has the armband on.The reason, why we won't win the world cup is that we give the ball away to easily, we don' keep the high tempo game and we get dictated by opposition to often in the big games. I can't remember the last entertaining game, I've seen England play, since we beat Germany 5-1. Our team is made up more of talented individuals and we fail to play like a team who gel well together and who defend and attack like a team.I hope Capello put's a banning order on the WAGS. They can turn after we win the world cup. That for me seems fair.
