Holy frigging poo. What is it with English sportsmen since August 05? They just can't stay in one piece.BoyBrumby said:Oh bloody hell. What's German for "the ****ing wheels are falling off?"

Yeah well...James for Robinson, P Neville for A Cole, Des Walker still has a kick about every now and again so him in for Terry.....Scaly piscine said:Code:Robinson Neville Terry Rio A Cole J Cole Lampard Gerrard Downing Owen Crouch
I suppose Rooney never drops deep, and plays alongside Owen, rather than dropping off him?Scaly piscine said:Ignoring the archetypal football fan Crouch hater brigade on here (sorry but most football fans are stupid - they'd sooner have a slow 2 foot 3 weakling with good skills playing than someone that'll give any defense a problem but is gormless with it - then they'll boo him whenever he gets the ball), I don't really see the point in England playing 4-5-1 or 4-4-1-1 systems - England players aren't smart enough to adapt to new systems in a short space of time and it'll just result in some shambolic mess for the first game which will then mean a hasty, messy retreat back to 4-4-2.

Gerrard/Cole in the hole would not mean a particularly different system than having Rooney up front with Owen
But as I attend 50 football matches a year, I guess I'm stupid, seems as football fans are stupid
Some might argue that Gerrard and Lampard, with 40+ goals between them this season, are proven goalscorers, and you can bet they will certainly see a lot of the ball.Since the onus will be on England to attack in the first two group games at least I think they need to have more of a threat than one proven goalscorer who won't see the ball all game anyway
