Yeah, I wasn't confident on Shaw, but pretty happy with that now Cole definitely isn't going. Erm I put £100 on the Lallana and Barkely double, don't ask why, I never normally bet that much! I did it ages ago, thought odds of over 10/1 were pretty good for that. And I put £20 on the other one, so about 20/1 for that, which I thought was quite good odds too!
Accrington Stanley ‏@ASFCofficial BREAKING NEWS Sky Sources: no Stanley players to be named in England World Cup squad #statingtheobvious #notnews
I'd take Hart Forster Butland Walker Cahill Jones Shaw Stones Smalling Flanaghan Gerrard Barkley Henderson Carrick Wilshere Lallana Oxlade-Chamberlin Sterling Welbeck Rooney Lambert Carroll Sturridge
Pointless taking a 31 old keeper as third choice. Give a young lad some experience at a major tournament.
If you consider sitting on the bench as third choice 'experience', that's fine by you. I would rather Butland go and play for the U21s. My 3 would be Hart, Foster and Forster. All 3 of those are better than Butland anyway. Here's my squad: http://www1.skysports.com/FIFA-Worl...ctor/fdc0a8bcbd91f2b5380956de65f368f05742cfbc
please log in to view this image ****ing Chris Smalling. Cleverley on standby. Load of ****. Though I did get 20/23.
I like most of the squad but Smalling should **** off. With him and Jones as the only real cover we can't get any defensive injuries or we're ****ed. I don't get this picking people just because they can play two position even though they're **** at both of them. Cleverley and Carrick on standby is bullshit too. Should have been Barry on there.
agree with that squad. only issue I would have is swap smalling to standby & bring stones in, and maybe bring hudds in on standby (purely because theres no one else!!) and get rid of the dog ****e cleverly!!! how is he even on standby ffs!!
The midfield and attack looks great to me. I really don't think there's that many better squads than us. We're not blessed with depth at the back but most teams have a weakness somewhere.
Cleverley on stand-by is an insult to players such as Osman, Huddlestone, Noble, Livermore and even Gareth Barry......
To be fair, we're really not that bad. I just think we lack 'world class' players. I'd only really say that Rooney is world class, by that I mean that if he became available then I think every club in the World would want him. I said that I didn't care about the side, but actually I think we could do quite well. I don't expect us to come in the top 8 but I can see players like Barkley and Shaw having a great time. I think the future is brighter than it has been in ages.
that squad is a very good squad no doubt about it. looking at it shows just how much talent/depth we do have in midfield/attack. only prob is that defence is going to get ripped to shreds by the bigger teams, not to mention roys awful tactics!! still why is cleverly on standby ffs?
