LCFC at the World Cup

Johnson gets a lot of unjust criticism, he's actually done ok for England. He might not be the best right back in world, but he's not awful.

 

Surely you're joking. He's an absolute embarrassment of an international defender. He's consistently terrible and he's pulled off miracles to trick managers into picking him time and again.

Baines won't start. Cole is much better.

 

Fixed that for you.

 

Well if we're planning on an early exit we may as well start Cole.

 

I was under the impression we were actually trying to win matches and progress, but hey ho!

No I'm not joking, he's fine. He's not the best right back we've ever had by a long way, but he's not an embarrassment.

As for Cole v Baines. As much as Cole has been an excellent England player, I'm not really up for taking someone who's barely playing getting any game time at club level because he's being kept out by a second rate right back. I know he has nothing to prove, but he has to start getting games or he can't be taken to the World Cup in merit.

How can people seriously think we're better off with Cole?  Madhouse this place...

 

Because some people (myself included) think he's better than Leighton Baines? They're both excellent but the way Kitchandro was spouting hyperbolic nonsense you'd have thought Cole was a pub player.

Nah, pub players don't have pace.

But as my point a few posts up, don't you think Cole needs to be playing to be first choice for England?

This is obviously a photoshop. I have seen a lot of photoshops in my time, but the significant lack of package gives this one away too easily.

It's probably our strongest area. Gerrard, Wilshere, Lallana, Barkley.

 

The defence is much weaker. Glen Johnson is awful, Walker is overrated. We haven't got a world class centre back in the entire country. Baines at LB is the only saving grace.

 

What nations have world class centre backs?

Posted

We have a few who didn't qualify, that would have gone if the country had made it

Kasper

Wes

Waysl

Wood

King

Former players

Bamba, Gradel, Ivory Coast

Pretty Sure Sergio Hellings will also be in the Dutch squad.

Hypothetically. If Dyer was only 18 atm do you think he would be sniffing around the English squad. like Walcott and zaha managed to do.

Is there anything you're not completely dour and pessimistic about?
