[Robzor]

OMG !

I CANT WAIT TILL MACLAREN CHANGES SOMETHING !
ATLEAST HES ENGLISH NOT A STUPID FOREIGN NOOB :@

[Colourful™]

It's a very good team TurboCharge. Tell us who they could change then? :s

[paradox]

I'm not happy about Defoe being stand-by and Walcott not. Yeah hes meant to be a hot prospect BUT hes scored 4 championship goals and hasnt even played a premiership game yet. Too much of a risk and belongs in the damn standby!

[Robzor]

It's a very good team TurboCharge. Tell us who they could change then? :s

1. Downing may not be the best in the Premiership but he's English, and we're quite limited to English players in the Premiership.

2. Robert Green is way better than Scott Carson -> check clean sheet records etc. (+ Joe Hart will be comnig up soon - Shrewsbury Town GK and England U19 GK).

3. Harewood isn't even English, Darren Bent has no experience in International football, just 1 match played; we can't mess around at the World Cup!

4. Better strikers than Jermain Defoe for England now.

5. Hargreaves and Green are still some of the bets midfielders in England. :l

[OMGitsaROSS]

Bridge, Hargreaves and Walcott are a joke.

Hargreaves is scared to put in tackles
Bridge no experience this season
Same with walcott :S

1. downing is a english player , limited to the premier for english players
2. robert green is first team keeper scott carson plays reserve keeping
3. harewood is english go onto football manager and check it ! i should know cause he use to play for my fav team notts forest :P
4. why did u say green in best midfielders :S

[paradox]

robert green : absolute crap
:
Not really, if he was that crap he wouldn't have been picked,
hes had a dodgy season but if you remember last season he made some amazing saves, besides his 3rd choice so you can't really complain.
Who else could take his place huh?

[Robzor]

i said before , scott carson :rolleyes:
kirkland would of been 3rd choice if he wasnt injured :rolleyes:

[paradox]

He isn't that much better, maybe this season hes had his performances
but IMO Green is better overall, thats why clubs bid 1 odd million for him last summer. Carson is on loan at Sheff Wed which doesn't say much ATM :p
and It's 3rd choice keeper so the chances of them playing anyway are slim.

Soz, I haver to disagree,

That Walcott dude hasnt played in the Premiership, nevermind an international game, I think Darren Bent has a bit more experience than him, with him having the most goals to his name for an English player in the Premiership this season.

Hargreaves plays in some German Team? The problem with him is, he wont blend in with the style the men who play in the English divisions. This makes him rubbish Internationally.

[Jordan3]

It's okay. But from what I've seen of Robert Green this season [a Luton player lobbing him from about 40 yards] I don't think he's good enough.

[SHEEPY]

Robert Green: Very, very talented goalkeeper, should of moved on after Norwhich were relegated. He won't be used.

Owen Hargreaves : What are you gonna rate him on his 10-15 mins performances for England? This is guy is amazing for Bayern. Very good squad player.

Theo Walcott: This guy is immensely talented, i'm chuffed to bits for the guy to see him in the sqaud. It is a gamble by Sven, and I hope it pays off.

Stewart Downing: Again another squad player as Joe Cole will keep him out, good option though, can cross.

Aaron Lennon: Again inexperienced, but has pace and can beat people, good option to come off the bench.

I agree with everything turbocharge sez i absolutly cant wait for sven to leave

[Robzor]

I agree with everything turbocharge sez i absolutly cant wait for sven to leave

thanks for the support :o

[Colourful™]

We aren't even going to need Robert Green anyway. Paul Robinson is not really going to get injured, unless something major happens and David James getting injured too would be extremely rare. :l

[Robzor]

comes to think of it ?
whats the point of the 3rd keeper going ?
lmao :P

[-Paul]

I think it's a good squad..Not quite good enough to win the world cup tho.

[Colourful™]

comes to think of it ?
whats the point of the 3rd keeper going ?
lmao :P
Then again, if WE DO get both of our keepers injured we need a reserve.

[,Alexx.]

Stewart downing : um....... , not that particularly good ?


>=[ Downings good! :@

Darrent bent/Jermaine Defore in the squad not Theo Walcott

[Colourful™]

Stewart Downing is good, yes. If he isn't then why is he in the Middlesbrough 1st team? :rolleyes:

[NekkLe]

Theo Walcott, i've seen him play in the reserves and he looks wicked, a big step for him to go straight into playing for England but I think Sven can see his talent.

The sides ok I guess but yet again it looks like we'll get to the quarters and go out.

[DieselShaq]

Owen Hargreaves is next to Frank Lampard. I don't support England because they're crap, but Hargreaves is good, better than Andrew Johnson

[SHEEPY]

How can you compare Hargreaves and Johnson? One a defensive mdifielder and the other a striker?

England crap? ....

no..

[Robzor]

Then again, if WE DO get both of our keepers injured we need a reserve.

hardly likey though
iamme england arent crap :@

[bingoking]

Look at Everton, used 4 keepers in 5 games!
