England squad to face Uruguay

[fozzybear]

Here

Goalkeepers: Robinson (Tottenham), Green (Norwich), James (Man City).

Defenders: Young (Charlton), Bridge (Chelsea), Terry (Chelsea), Brown (Man Utd), Ferdinand (Man Utd), King (Tottenham), G Neville (Man Utd), Carragher (Liverpool).

Midfielders: Lampard (Chelsea), Beckham (Real Madrid), Gerrard (Liverpool), J Cole (Chelsea), Jenas (Tottenham), Wright-Phillips (Chelsea), Carrick (Tottenham), Richardson (Man Utd).

Forwards: D Bent (Charlton), Rooney (Man Utd), Crouch (Liverpool), Defoe (Tottenham).



It's worrying to see players like Green, Young, Brown, Jenas, Wright Philips, Richardson, Bent and Crouch in a squad so close the the 2006 World Cup. It just goes to show what a serious lack of depth we have.

Why is it worrying to have Wright-Phillips in the squad? I'd say he's one of the best wingers we have.

OK, so he can take a man on but his final ball isn't what it should be. He alos runs with his head down leading him to overun the ball on many occasions.

You may laugh, but i'd rather have Aaron Lennon in the squad. In my opinion he has more awareness than SWP. It's not going to happen though.

Also, i would have picked Michael Dawson in front of Wes Brown. I've been very impressed with Dawson everytime i've seen him this season.

He can cross for a start, and although he is hit and miss, that lad who plays for Birmingham.......... cant think of his name.

Jermaine Pennant?

I'd like to see Nolan and Barton get a chance

I've seen a bit of Nolan lately and he's not playing as well as he was earlier on in the season.

What's wrong with Darren Bent?

I'm hoping he gets his chance against Uruguay next week.

I'd say Marlon Harewood, Jason Roberts and James Beattie are all at the same level as Darren Bent. Personally, i wouldn't pick any of them for England.
