England Squad

Recommended Posts

I prefer AOC in the middle but I didn't really see any position to fit him in on mine. I'd like to see Shelvey play as I think he's very under-rated.

Hart

Clyne

Cahill

Stones

Shaw

Carrick

Delph

Walcott

Rooney

Sterling

Vardy

No doubt he will start his lover boy Milner along with Harry Kane though.

Stats show Leicester City man deserves England start

Posted on  3rd September 2015 by FFStrategist
 

Last Sunday Roy Hodgson announced his squad for England’s Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Switzerland. Of the 22 players named, four were strikers, Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane, Theo Walcott and Jamie Vardy.

England will secure qualification if they win away to San Marino on Saturday and Slovenia fail to win away to Switzerland. A likely scenario.

Captain, Wayne Rooney, has not scored a Premier League goal in 10 games. His last came at the beginning of April last season in a 3-1 win over Aston Villa. The Manchester United striker currently sits just one goal behind Bobby Charlton’s international record of 49 for England, which Rooney is expected to break in the coming days.

Along with Rooney, Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Arsenal’s Theo Walcott are also both yet to score a Premier League goal this season.

Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy has started the new campaign well. The 28-year-old has scored 2 goals in his 4 games and has also provided one assist.

In reality, Kane, Walcott and Vardy are all vying for one spot in the starting lineup, alongside Wayne Rooney. It’s Harry Kane who is expected to line up with Rooney, despite his uninspiring start to the season.

Stats released by Opta-powered fantasy football game Oulala show that Vardy has not only scored more goals on his own than Rooney, Kane and Walcott have between them, but he also leads the other three for shot accuracy too.

57% of the Leicester forward’s shots have been on target this season. In contrast, Rooney has had an accuracy of just 43%. Harry Kane has hit only 38% of his shots on target, with Theo Walcott, just 33%.

Boasting far superior attacking figures, Vardy should walk straight into the starting lineup against San Marino on Saturday, however it’s unlikely, despite Harry Kane’s and Theo Walcott’s poor starts to the season.

Is a game against San Marino just what Harry Kane needs to get his season up and running or is it the perfect opportunity to give the in-form Jamie Vardy the start that he deserves?

I've never been so depressed with an England squad, it's woeful.

I know you are all pleased for Jamie Vardy, so you should be but the fact he is even in the squad is a worry. 7 goals in 38 Prem games should NOT get you in the England squad let alone being in some of your sides to play.

There is nobody probably apart from Sterling in that squad who excites me, out of the forward players. Walcott just doesn't seem to do it, Rooney will come deep and leave us with nothing upfront, Kane will score a deflected shot and be raved about, it's all just to predictable and boring.

Hopefully Shelvey can start, really good footballer and has been brilliant this season so far.

My team would be..

Hart

Clyne - Cahill - Stones - Shaw

Milner - Carrick - Shelvey

Walcott - Rooney - Sterling

Clyne is less than impressive when he plays for England. We haven't had a good right back since Neville retired.

We won't be able to replace Ashley Cole either and just like we won't ever be able to replace Terry and Ferdinand.

You won't replace Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes.

And **** me how much I would love someone to replace Michael Owen!

i know they underachieved massively but I wish we had the 'Golden Generation' back.

Just look at the squads in comparison to now, it's a joke. lol

tbf vardys record is as heskey as it comes (bar about 18 months) and he was a permanent fixture in the national team for about 15 years, and often regarded as everyone's favourite player to play with. rooney/vardy or kane/vardy would win us more games than rooney/kane. guaranteed.

Yep because in recent England games he hasn't done too bad, so on that I'd start him.

How in jonjo shelvey playing for England. We have never replaced becks, Owen and Scholes. Until that happens we are going no where. We have nothing that stands out as outstanding in this team. Becks set pieces, owen's runs off the shoulder of the cb, Scholes box to box work rate and hard tackles. I hate the way we play, it's slow and drab.

Poor vardy made runs on Saturday and not one player was picking them out. They would prefer to play a ball back to Hart or smalling. Boring football. Especially when you compare it to a very exciting Wales team, king, Ramsey and bale are like lightning on the counter.

It is pointless Vardy playing in the current england squad he is played out of formation's that he is used to playing he has no room to make runs and the game is not set around him, he isn't a midfielder for 1 and roy in't going to play a counter attacking style he is just trying to keep possession and pass it around. Leicester play a totally different style to this and it wouldn't matter so much in other positions but as a striker it is going to make him look bad

Hodgson knows that England are actually semi-competent at stifling better sides - I can't recall losing by more than a single goal to anybody under his reign (no doubt it has happened but it must be a rarity). However I feel that this caution does take a little sting out of our attacking threat; we always seem to set up very deep and although we're spoilt for pace and talent in attacking positions we very rarely appear to actually hurt anybody on the counter. Build up seems so pedestrian at times to the point we're perennially trying to play it through eight opposition bodies on the edge of the area.

 

I appreciate the Roy is working with the weakest pool of players for a considerable stretch, but the Premier League, for all it's faults - is built on pace and aggression (our current side is the embodiment of this). Hodgson's England have the ingredients to be the same but it seldom shows, can't argue with the points tally in these qualifiers, mind.

yeah the thing with hodgson is when he came in it was sort've understandable to play like this. he had like a month before the euros, we were absolute doggo and had a tough group and a tough quarter final. just to not get embarrassed was the aim. but now he's been in the job a few years and we have some promising players etc and don't seem to have progressed in any way and he still seems to be playing in the same "quick fix to not get embarrassed" kinda way. 

 

it's a tough one cos we aren't good enough to attack the best teams, we'd just get bummed down the other end when they start running at our defence, but we're not bad enough to be set up so defensively at home to teams like switzerland. but we've gotta practice setting up like that for when the big games roll round. it's all a bit of a pickle.

Wallcot should be starting instead of Oxlade and Sterling for me, great player.

 

Not too keen on Milner but if he is used in the DM/CM role instead of the wing then he's not to bad, Wilshere all day though if fit.

 

Barkley shouldn't be starting either atm.

 

I think the best team we have would be something like this...

 

Hart

Stones Cahill Smalliing Shaw

Wallcott Carrick Wilshere Lallana

    Rooney Kane

I think Carrick has retired mate. I would have picked Ox or Sterling over Lallana, our strength is pace so we need to use it.  Vardy over Rooney too :P
