New look England squad (vs Hungary 11/08/10)

[mmj_uk]

Sky has this as England's starting XI in their preview of the game:
Hart, Johnson, Dawson, Terry, A.Cole, Milner, Lampard, Barry, Gerrard, Rooney, Zamora.

Damn I thought Capello was being brave and experimenting with some new players tonight, it's pretty much the same dross as we're used to.

 

[Weebull]

Eh, its a friendly, they'll be a complete change at half-time anyway.

 

[G|mp]

He's already said that he is going to put most of the WC squad out in the first half so they cop all the flak from the crowd, da yoots will play the second half.

 

[utajoker]

what time is kick off?

 

[Shamikebab]

that would be pretty much the same team except Zamora instead of Heskey, Dawson instead of the cripple and Hart instead of James (who I thought wasn't bad at the world cup)

I really hoped Fabidoh Capelluhoh would try a different setup

 

[Robbo]

What the hell.

This isn't on BBC HD? So I have to choose between ITV HD and BBC 1

I hate ITV.

Edit: Its not on the BBC at all, oh dear.

Yeah, would have liked a few other changes, maybe in midfield, Barry/Lampard or someone. Maybe take Lampard off for Adam Johnson, put Gerrard back in the middle.

Do you work for the Sun?

 

[syke]

Bah, how can he play Walcott instead of Zamora

 

[Shamikebab]

Do you work for the Sun?

nope.

Doesn't look that bad on paper :/

 

[syke]

Hope Gera scores a couple now Zamora isn't playing.






I guess he'll try a half with one striker, a half with two - trying the old style with a big man again I assume. Zamora on his own won't work unless he has someone playing just behind him.

 

[Shamikebab]

And Johnson over Zamora :/ He barely even played last year!

Edit: Ah for a second I thought it was Andy! So Rooney on his own up front again Never mind at least he has that top class winger Walcott....

 

[syke]

So if England lose playing with a new system, younger team....what now?!

 

[Locky]

I hope England do lose, England never deserve to win a game of football, and should just quit.

 

[aaron333]

I'm gutted Mark Noble wasn't called up either...

3 of the same back four who played against Germany and how he can even have Rooney in the squad (has to drop him for a few games surely) after his woeful world cup.
