England's 23 Man Squad

Recommended Posts

If this is true, we're terribly short of attacking options. With Bent and Walcott out, this leaves us with the four strikers, a SWP who hasn't barely played all season and Lennon has been injured for most of it. Hope Cole and Johnson make it...

Walcott and Johnson both left out?!

SSN say Walcott has but not mentioned Johnson.

EDIT, they just have, Johnson left out according to sources, and Carrick in according to sources

Posted

Carrick has done nothing to warrant a place in the squad, he's always been poor for England and he's had a mediocre season for Man Utd.

I agree. Never rated the bloke, either at club or international level.

Posted

Capello always said he would pick on form and how much game time they get, on that basis how is Heskey in and Bent isn't? How is Carrick in? How is SWP in and Johnson isn't?

Carrick being in is my main gripe, he's been crap all year!

Good decision Fabio, glad my posts about Walcott convinced you in the end. Now get Cole and Johnson on that plane and you're onto a winner.

EDIT: CUNT.

Upson and Carragher over Dawson? SWP over Johnson? Still wonder how the fook Carrick has made it, would rather have took Parker or Huddlestone than that prat.

Posted

According to The Sun, SWP is on the plane to South Africa.

He doesn't hang about - you'd have thought he might have waited for the rest of the squad.

Walcott can change a game in an instant so surprised he's not going just for his pace when the opposition are getting tired.

Dawson has been awesome so should have gone, he's played better than Terry and Ferdinand this season, who also has been injured but he's captain.

EDIT: Dawson in :giggle:

Pleased that Walcott isnt going, for me he just lives off that hat-trick against Croatia. Obviously very quick, but out of him, Lennon and SWP he has the worst 'footballing brain' and lacks a real end product.

Glad Bent isnt going either, never really rated him either. I know he has scored a lot for Sunderland but he really could have scored so much more and I think he lacks international quality.

From OliverKayTimes on Twitter: "Now there's a rumour (UNCONFIRMED for now) of Ledley King OUT and Michael Dawson IN."

If that is true then I give up.

Posted

Well this is all a bit odd from Capello.

Wright-Phillips over Johnson after no game time, likewise with Warnock over Baines. Dawson over King when the latter has arguably been the best English defender this season. Carrick in at all after being left out of United's team for much of the latter part of the season.

I know most of these won't/wouldn't have played much anyway but it's still not quite right to me.

Posted

Bent does not fit into the structure of how Capello sets his team up. He doesn't only pick on form, but he also picks on how well said player will fit into the team. Otherwise if we were going on purely on form then Heskey wouldn't be anywhere near the squad. So it isn't all about that.

Glad Walcott is out. Shame that Johnson is out.

Posted

SWP is only going to stop Ian Wright going on a rampage and telling every paper and TV program going that Capello has no clue and SWP deserves to go.

Carragher doesn't deserve to go, where was he during Qualifying on those long trips out to eastern Europe? He's done fook all all season and practically got a free ticket ahead of some people that deserve it more than him because of his 'versatility'

The rest of the squad i guess is agreeable to an extent.
