I have a bad feeling that the team in the article will be better than that selected. Why can't this country pick players on form (not 2/3 games that does not constitute form) regardless of their team. We would surely have a better chance then. Imagine has Osman feels, been quality for a few seasons yet still never gets a mention. Players like him are consistently good, many of the youngsters have 1 good game in 5
completely agree. its been like this for as long as i can remember though! arguably, the only manager who i can remember who went for form players was graham taylor - that didn't work out too well though to be fair, there was hardly a stream of quality alternatives to those he picked! i just hate the fact that it doesn't seem to matter how well you do for your club - its all about who you play for or where you've come from, its not actually about who will do the best job anymore
Do you think we could enter a 'B' team from the rest of the players based on form? I bet they would do a hell of a lot better
at least booze is cheap in the Ulkraine, Carroll will love it! fancy a repeat of gazza and sheringham in the dentists chair - Andy Carroll and Wayne Rooney??
well going by all the journo's, ruddy is definitely called up, holt is not. even heard that declan rudd is on standby for the keepers - that may be crossed wires
Your back's to the wall, decisions have gone against you and you're not playing well as a team. Every team has been in this situation, and England are no different. What you need then is one of those players who grabs the game by the neck, is utterly committed and drags all the others kicking and screaming along with them. At least if you go down, you go down fighting. There's nobody who sums up that fighting spirit, someone we can rally behind, more than Andy Carroll... sorry, I meant Glen Johnson... no, erm... Defoe? To be fair to Roy, it's pretty slim pickings for him. But if the rumours are true, he's not exactly helping himself, is he?
So far I've heard we've got carrol who can't score goals and downing, not provided a single assist or goal all season Eng Ger Land! What a load of ****e, I'm reserving judgement but expect me to be happy
Hart Green Ruddy GlenJ Jones JT Lescott Cahill Cole Baines Theo Downing Ox Gerr'd Barry Lamps Parker Young Milner Defoe Roo Welb Carroll Surprise Surprise
Congrats Ruddy, but Roy will regret not taking The Incredible Holt. A missed opportunity to have that option on the bench......
Holt doesn't even make the back up cut. Congrats to Ruddy, I've been saying for months he should be in there
Not surprised but Englands loss is our gain at least he'll be fresh for the new season. V disappointed for him though. Whole thing stinks tbh
