Ruddy Walker Cahill Jagielka Baines Gerrard Wilshere Townsend Rooney Barkley Sturridge I'd just give Townsend and Barkley ago, may as well can't be any worse than Walcott.
I'd go: Forster Walker Jagielka Cahill Baines Lampard Gerrard Townsend Rooney Barkley Sturridge Expect something like: Hart Walker Jagielka Cahill Cole Milner Gerrard Wilshere Welbeck Rooney Sturridge
I don't think he's crap at all, he just needs dropping for a few games to get his head right. Milner > Cleverley every day of the week. I don't mind Milner, he's a decent player imo.
I will eat my own balls if Gerrard is effective in Brazil if we make it, he still has his ability but no way he will cope with several games close together in Brazils humidity- for me Hodgson is scared to change and thats what we need. Do people actually watch the tournaments we play when the conditions are hot, we are always worse than ****ing useless, every time! As for the comments about Brazil, they are so much better than us it is untrue, I think a lot of people are unaware of their emerging talents like Bernard who is twice as good as our best player.
You do realise he was immense against Brazil at the Maracana, don't you? Jesus, do you really think he hasn't played in hot conditions before?
Anybody who thinks we can take on the likes of Germany/Brazil in a proper competitive game in hot conditions with midfielders past their best is living in cloud cuckoo land, sorry.
Several games in close succession? Have you watched him this season, he needs somebody to push his wheelchair around for him these days! He still has his ability but class teams in a major tournament will run rings around him, get real.
I think, despite the fact he's on red-hot form, Woy wanted experienced England players in the side because these are massive games.
Neither of those sides are the immense forces they're made out to be. There's only one national team we should really be scared of and that's Spain.
No, but if they were 'so much better than us', surely they would've done better than they did. There's no excuse about being in difficult conditions considering we played them in Brazil and they hardly played a weakened team did they?
