who would you play against Croatia ?

id play

Johnson Ferd Terry Cole

Bentley Lampard Barry Joe Cole

Rooney Defoe/Heskey

i think Capello will go with Brown over Johnson and Beckham over Bentley/Walcott i think he will start Joe Cole he better do anyway after Cole's game
changing goals

i think Defoe and Heskey are limited TBH

problem is Defoe is to small and drifts in and out of games and Heskey is a number 10 he is not going to get on the end of things like a number 9 and we already have number 10 playing in Rooney ,Heskey is more lilke a battering ram than goal scorer or someone to hold the ball up

toss up between Defoe and Heskey allthough im starting to lean towards Heskey after taking my own advice :lol1:

thats right no GK what difference does it make when you are playing Lame O Jame O he is not going to stop anything for England he might be good in a pompey shirt but

I'd play the ****ing under 21 side. The senior side is a ****ing shambles at the moment.

I think the younger players in the squad should be given their chance just like A. Cole, Ferdinand, Gerrard etc were at the start of Erikkson's reign.

More than anything England need players who can pass the ball in the final third, and they need pace, I think the defence is OK but could do with a bit more attacking dynamism on the flanks.

I would play 4-2-3-1 something like this

GK James
RB Richards
LB Bridge
CB Ferdinand
CB Terry
CM Barry
CM Hargreaves
ALM Cole
AMC Rooney
ARM Bentley
S Owen

Hargreaves and Barry are both very solid capable players, and Barry can pass, the three in front add a bit of vision. You also have Carrick and Gerrard who could play those withdrawn midfield roles, and Gerrard, Walcott and A. Young could all play in the more advanced roles.

Striker is a problem, but Owen is the most accomplished we have and Rooney should be given licence to support him. I think this is the best England team we could pick.

My starting 11 with available players for tonight.

------------------------James

Brown-------Ferdinand-----------Terry---------Cole


-------------Beckham------------Barry

----------------------Lampard

-------Rooney--------------------------J.Cole
----------------------Heskey

They're (in bold) unavailable mate.

I think we can snatch a draw. I'd pick:

GK James
RB Brown
CB Rio
CB JT
LB Cashley
RM Walcott/Bentley
CM Lamps (been sh*te of late though)
CM Barry
LM Cole
ST Rooney
ST Heskey

Heskey can do all the donkey work allowing rooney & cole more chances to sneak in and get a goal. Walcott has pace but final ball can be poor, Bentley has a great cross on him and wouldn't let England down. Should not be picking Beckham.

Brown has been in great form at RB for United, set up Ronaldo in the CL final and shows willingness to pass the halfway line. Johnson is error prone.

When the best striker England has available is Emile Heskey we're in seriously ****ing big trouble.

i like the look of your side guys but Owen and Richards have not been picked so you have to base your team tonight on who has been picked in the England squad

Richards and Owen would be massive players though tonight i agree

Owen because he is always a goal threat and he never lets England down he always comes up with the goods and Richards whilst only being a right back is tremendous in the air he could have been a great weapon to have on set pieces he has a huge jump on him

When the best striker England has available is Emile Heskey we're in seriously ****ing big trouble.

That's the sick truth.

4-5-1 they need to play.

Had a dream Rooney scored last night.

you and your imagination :lol1:

I don't even like the English football team. It was more of a nightmare than dream i suppose. :p

I think England will probably knick a draw tonight,

Not V Croatia but this would be my first choice XI for the gang of losers:

4-2-3-1 (switch to 4-3-3 at 60mins if still at 0-0)
-----------James

Richards----Carra-----Rio------A.Cole

----------Barry----Hargreaves

-Walcott----Gerrard(c)-------Rooney

-------------Crouch------------

Carra is retired because he is not good enough to get in the squad

Rooney has proved many many times he cannot play on the left hand side for Man Utd and Joe Cole is undropable he has been England best player for the last 2,3 years

Crouch takes about 5 chances to score one and he has no composure

im an Arsenal fan and Theo is not ready take it from me he has cameo for 15 minutes then drifts out the game and his confidence level goes up and down

I think we might be better of with Theo because Bentley/Becks pinging in high balls won't help our cause I feel. Theo would be able to get behind their full backs and draw out their central defenders thus creating space for Cole/Rooney/heskey.

I agree about Theo's tendancy to drift in and out of games though but he appears to be a confidence player and he got a lot of praise for his last performance.

i can see exactly what your saying and it could go either way cause if Theo is on form he could give the fullback a roasting then again if he is not he might give the ball away quite a lot or disapear i think the game is too big for him to start personally

the reasons i want Bentley in is because Bentley has very good technique infact he is up there with the Rooney and Cole for technique he can help us retain possession better obviously as you say he needs to be under orders not to keep pinging to many long balls etc

Bentley is good for a goal aswell

carra is not good enough for Pool but England are that ****!

Cole is so **** and I do not rate Rooney but he is stronger than the ****ebag Joe, who has alot of style but very littel substance or end product. Do not get all wet about his scoring v andorra, a joke team. Also, in 4-3-3, the left winger is a wing forward. At Utd he failed in a 4-4-2 where the winger plays in midfield.

Say what you want about Crouch but he scores goals and especially for England. His record speaks for itself, and the only better player would be Owen who is always injured.

Theo is NOT ready but England are so ****e they do not have a choice. Beckham is an old joke, and Bentley is average. i think the problems you mentioned would go away once he had a regular first team place, and he will be sick. Sven made a mistake in 06: not bringin him into squad sooner and not playing him!

Joe Cole is **** :lol1:

see what i mean biased again if Cole was a Pool player you would be all over his nuts especially with Pool lack of flair and width

Alexis Vastine your an idiot and your opinion is horrible you and Runknives should start a football show on youtube see how many viewers you get :lol1:

I definately wouldnt let bentley near an england shirt he is awful

I definately wouldnt let bentley near an england shirt he is awful

i dont see how he is awfull he is one of the best crossers of a ball and his technique is very good he is able to do what Rooney and Cole do accept the ball in tight areas and he scores goals

he scored 13 goals in each of his last 2 seasons at Blackburn and he is brilliant from dead ball situations he scored the first goal at Wembley with an excellent 25 yard free kick against the Italians and he was the best player on the pitch in the first half of that game

Cole as played alot better for England than Gerrard, Gerrard never performs in a England shirt

Dunno man I just dont rate bentley that highly

I need a poo poo.

England ****

Croatia were unlucky

England ****

Croatia were unlucky

lol
:luvbed:

well done England

i had my reservations about whether or not Theo could do it consistently for 90 mins because he does not do it for Arsenal but tonight he has his best game of football ever for Arsenal or England

What a ****ing GREAT touch that was by Rooney BTW and then the through ball

Calamity James needs to be replaced IMO he looked like a bag nerves all night

4-5-1 they need to play.

Had a dream Rooney scored last night.

Well bugger me sideways gentlemen, the Evertonian scored.

Well bugger me sideways gentlemen, the Evertonian scored.


im gone contact you to get the lottery numbers :lol1:

BTW whos this being interviewed " and you know errm"

The key to this game is to have Walcott in the lineup.

I predict a huge game for him, if he plays with Heskey and Rooney.

Unbelievable result!

Maybe Joe Hart will find himself as England number 1. Won't be the first England number 1 to ply his trade at City, and probably won't be the last. Unless we buy a ridiculously overpriced goalkeeper for no reason at all.

Hart cant be any worse than ****ing David James he is an accident waiting to happen he looked on the edge just clearing his lines


id rather have Robinson than James he is not even a good shot stopper for England he may be a decent shot stopper for Pompey but not England atleast Robinson is capable of pulling off world class saves like the one against Wales

Cole as played alot better for England than Gerrard, Gerrard never performs in a England shirt

That is pure bull****. Even though Lampard gets in his way all the time and he has only played FIVE times in his preferred role, in big comps he is always the one turning things around.

At the World Cup they said he was quiet, but when your **** Cole was losing the ball down the left and beckham was being gay, it was Gerrard who with few opportunities scored important game sealing goals. Fat lard had most shots in whole comp but returned zilch. I bet if fatty was dropped, Stevie would have nailed quite a few of them home like he does for LFC. Also, he ran the show when they bummed Germany 5-1 and it was only Redmen who scored all the goals!!!!

Gerrard is one of the main reason why England give the balll away so much thats the reason he is not used down the middle by his own club manager ,Gerrard is a long ball merchant with no short game he grabs the headlines because he scores goals but Mascherano and Alonso give him the opurtunity to do what he does

And he ceases them opportunites as well as creating dozens more for the men in front of him and coming in the box from the wings. In case you didn't notice, goals win games.

As it turns out, I was right about Walcott and his inclusion in my line up and you lot were completely wrong. Your criticisms of my selection proved wrong just the way i said it; once he gets minutes on pitches he will settle and the problems you mentioned will disappear.

Let this be a lesson to you. I am a tactical footballing genius and my predictions and calculations will foten prove corresct no matter how controversial. but I did not think that terry being **** and leading England to **** all would be that controversial, LOL!

you are biased even the other Liverpool fans who come to the limey lounge say it you tool

you are always right yeah that must be why everyone who replys to your posts agree with you :lol1:

So if they don't agree with me that means they are right? Listen mate most people like you believe whatever you read in papers. that's why so many people rated John terry and Amir Khan. Let's deal with facts yeah, and how I dealt with ya on the topic of walcott. Like I said just get use to it, and try to think for yourself instead of thinking out of Mirror Mania.

do you think its a coincidence no one ever agrees with you :lol1:

i dont listen to the papers i speak objectively you think Terry is a bum because you are biased Pool fan he is overrated but he is not the bum you make out to be

you are biased to the core

Not a coincidence. I know you havbe comprehension problems but what I was trying to get at in the previous post was that most of you sheep believe any BS hype!!! Hence the Amir Khan reference!

I also said carra is ****e too, just like JT. The hoof masters are both blag players. yes he is the bum I make him out to be and both of them should be mid table with McLaren. Explain how this makes me bias to the core? Please do.

Rafa Benitez thinks he is a tactical footballing genius which is why he takes off strikers in a game he is dominating and why he keeps buying spaniards.
