Every single player is from an English club. Says how bad we are when none of the foreign leagues have any English players.
It's a funny squad to say the least. How do players like Carlton Cole, Zamora and Walcott not be good enough for a W/C Squad yet here we are 8 weeks later and they could be
I would have liked to have seen Adam Johnson put in there as well
Did you not see England's total failure at the word cup?
The "better" players played so bad you may as well try anybody that qualifies for England now.
What totally baffles and frustrates me is players like Ronney, today he was good for Manyoo but was dire for england at the WC...
Well at least they took something away from the world cup, things need to be changed up a bit.
They also need to get rid of Rooney and pay them all less, but that's a personal rant I'll not go into.
It's a friendly. Of course you want to try fringe players in a game that's not important.Capello is ridiculous....he drops Walcott for the World Cup...and then recalls him because he's obviously been utterly amazing since.
Italia '90 is a case of massive rose-tinted specs. We played better in both '96 and '98."best English players" have proven time and time again that they're not that good on the International front.
Since '66 England have done "quite" well in Italia '90. Nothing else.
That's it pick Rooney out (or Ronney as he is now called)
He was shocking at the WC I agree, so was Gerrard, Lampard, Ronaldo, Torres........
Their teams should drop them all![]()
Now Peter Crouch's cheated on his missus? What the hell is wrong with them?
It's a friendly. Of course you want to try fringe players in a game that's not important.
I must really be missing something here, because this is exactly the kind of game where he should be trying the likes of Walcott, Wilshere, Zamora, et al.
Yes. Lampard & Gerrard should never play again. Ronney needs to be benched for 2 years.
I would rather play any of the following: DeFoe, Crouch, Owen, Andy Carrol, Agbonlahor or Bent.
We need to blood in Adam Johnson, Wiltshire, Walcott, Milner, Cahill, Richards, Hart and/or Foster. I think we have a better chance at major tournaments by building a team rather than hoofing it up to "our stars" and praying they do something special, which they cannot do in the big games, ala WC 2010.
Chile, Uruguay, Germany and Ghana all proved that team work pays off.
Don't be daft, we should have played all the fringe players that everyone was calling for in the first game!!
Not the team that got us there in our best qualification ever!
Drop Ronney as well, he's ****.
I agree, Walcott should have gone to the WC he was immense all season.
Milner should be bloodied in as well, can't remember the last time he played for England.
Micah Richards as well, legend of a player had a storming season.
Foster, yeah definetely, he's another one that is absolutely steady as a rock, hence why he is at Birmingham and not a top 4 side.
Johnson, Witshire and Cahill I agree with, that may be why they are in this squad!
