Englands team selection.

Englands team selection.
Am i alone in thinking super swede Sven Goran Eriksson team selection leaves the midfield looking under strength, under expeirenced and without a hope.

Hes selected five center halfs whats with that ?

Why has he selected trevor sinclair ahead of darren anderton whos had a stormer of a season for spurs.
Nicky butt instead of Ray parlour.
Couldnt he give gazza a game to.

Why bother takeing David beckham with his dodgy foot he can break down at any time. Do we really have no other players that can cross a ball.


This threads mostly for the English everyone else wont have a clue what i ranting about lol.

I agree 100% about Ray Parlour - who should start EVERY time !

I've seen Sinclar play, and he's a decent Premiership Left Winger. Decent enough for the World Cup? Hell no.

Sven should kick Wes Brown out of the squad this instant. Murphy should have been in from the start.

Nicky Butt isn't good enough, granted, I hate Nicky Butt, but that's neither here nor there, he's just a thug but he's the closest thing we have to a 'holding' midfielder.

Beckham should be ok, he should at least be there in a talismanic, inspirational role. If he's match fit then whack him on the pitch.

Seaman
Mills *spits*, Ferdinand, Campbell, Cole
Beckham/Murphy, Cole, Scholes, Sinclar
Owen, Heskey

thats how we should play, if i had to select from the current squad.

If Andy Cole had been in the squad and been picked in place of one of your forwards, would that be the first time there had been three unrelated players with the same surname in the starting 11 ?

Most probably, but if Andy Cole had been picked, I would have changed my nationality. The guy's a twat.

"I'm not being picked so I'm retiring." Arrogant tosser. 5 different managers over 7 years. One goal.

My Mum could have netted more than Cole at United each season if she had played in front of Beckham, Keane, Scholes and Giggs

Ill have to agree with that based on the currant squad just hope young joe cole keeps it simple till he finds his feet some of his fancy tricks sometimes go wrong.

Keegan certainly knew what he was doing when he sold him at Newcastle.

What the press covered up was a certain drug problem ! One of my clients from Geordie-land was his dealer....

Right on he really spat his dummy out the pram when he found out he wasnt going to be at the world cup lol

But some make goals. He should settle and keep the ball for 20 minutes, then turn on the style if he feels he can.

I heard hes getting the # 19 shirt to same # gazza had when he took italia 90 by storm.

 

[Starblayde]

What's the obsession with Gazza? He's overwieght and far, far too slow, not fit enough and only displaying a fraction of the talent and touch he once had. He'll light up a Burnley game once a match, rather than the five or six times he used to do

*lol* I guess i hang on to the past to much thats when i got into football, italia 90 and gazza made my summer.

George best made a comment about him shortly after italia 90 he said he will piss it all up the wall and so he did.
And he still is the fat tub of lard .lol

I was lucky enough to catch Besty in his swansong at Craven Cottage on several occasions.

He and Rodney Marsh lit up the field like nothing I have ever seen since.
