marko Posted 8 May 2006 Share Posted 8 May 2006 On the other hand Three Arsenal players, so much for no British players <_< Yeah the only three they've got in the first team squad. Dire squad, Why oh why is Hargreaves in there??? No SWP??? and i can't see many defences quaking in their boots at our front 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No SWP??? and i can't see many defences quaking in their boots at our front 2. Hargreaves is s**t, SWP has played s**t this season and deserves to be out. Bent should be there instead of Walcott, with Walcott moving to stand by instead of Johnson!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No SWP??? and i can't see many defences quaking in their boots at our front 2. If rooney doesn't make it we won't have a front two... we'll have a chelsea formation or Gerrard playing off owen IMO. I think it's an exciting squad except for hargreaves. Gives us loads of options with formations than if we had bent, defoe, crouch and owen.

foxes_fan Posted 8 May 2006 Share Posted 8 May 2006 His squad has suprised me, and I do think there should be another striker in there, but i reckon he is taking a massive gamble that WILL pay off. I just have a feeling. It looks as though the team will be based around an all dominant midfield, with not too much emphais to begin with on strikers. This could work.

Libertine Posted 8 May 2006 Share Posted 8 May 2006 Just got back and heard this. Surprising to say the least. Walcott hasn't even made a Premiership appearance yet, and he wasn't as amazing as made out in the CCC. He has great potential but he's not ready yet IMO. Pretty much means that it'll be Owen and Crouch starting. Defoe should be there instead of Walcott and Darren Bent should be on stand-by. Good to see Lennon and Downing there though.

The People's Hero Posted 8 May 2006 Share Posted 8 May 2006 Bit surprised Defoe has been left out. Extremely surprised about Lennon and Walcott but good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Posted 8 May 2006 Share Posted 8 May 2006 If he's taking Walcott then he should take 5 strikers because that front line looks very worrying. Owen and Rooney are injured, Owen will probably play but won't have much sharpness, Crouch is only good for bringing on is the later stages and as said Walcott is untested! The idea of taking Walcott is actually quite interesting, but Defoe or Bent should be there with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 8 May 2006 Share Posted 8 May 2006 Is it me or has Sven decided to to make a massive gamble for the first time in his life? Walcott and Lennon are fantastic prospects who are fearless and many countries won't have ever seen them play but is it a massive gamble instead of tried and tested players like SWP and Defoe? Well upset that Bent has been left out. Had the season of his life and isn't even on stand-by, yet Andy Johnson who had a similar season to Bent last season yet scored alot of penalties has been put on stand-by after a mediocre season in the championship. Baffling. Stewart Downing hasn't looked anywhere near the player he was last season, shocked he's been included even if he is a left winger and we are struggling in that department. I cannot believe that we could be going to the World Cup with just one out and out striker who's fit and he's a laughing stock in football - Peter Crouch. Massive mistake not taking Bent, I thought he was destined for a good World Cup given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Harpic Posted 8 May 2006 Share Posted 8 May 2006 I'd put joe cole in goal I seem to remember that John Terry has made a couple of cat-like saves earlier in the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gené and Tonic Posted 8 May 2006 Share Posted 8 May 2006 I should suspect Rooney will be replaced by Defoe if hes not fit (well, hopefully anyway!) Good to see Walcott and Lennon - fast pacy and tricky, and unknowns to other countries. Nolan and Jenas are a close call, and hes gone for Jenas.
