Sunderland Colback would never have been near the squad.

Newcastle Colback tho? Well, Niall Quinn did say he was moving into bigger and better things!

Was going to reference the move having something to do with it, but thought Hix would flip a lid.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Southampton), Ben Foster (West Bromwich Albion), Joe Hart (Manchester City)

Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Calum Chambers (Arsenal), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), John Stones (Everton)

Midfielders: Jack Colback (Newcastle United), Fabian Delph (Aston Villa), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), James Milner (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal) Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Andros Townsend (Tottenham Hotspur), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)

Forwards: Rickie Lambert (Liverpool), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United)

Euro 2016 Champions. Rest of Europe, are you even trying?

I actually agree with Hixx. Cattermole deserves a call up.

Hodgson refers to Jack Colback's nickname as "The Ginger Pirlo"

erm, what?

 

[L1NETT]

but he IS awful. HE IS

if you're not gonna call Wickham and the others now then when? Or call Sterling as a striker and bring one more mid like Huddlestone.

Yeah play Sterling as a striker

Great shout that

Our best player in a position he is unfamiliar with. Genius

And yeah give those young 3 a go, probably for Lambert who, bless him, is 32. What real england future does he have.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Chambers?

Oh my days, England are so wonderful.

 

[Yurt]

That's not what I meant. I meant call him as a striker, use him on the wing.

Spain did that by calling midfielders as defenders.

 

[LegoArmo]

Captain of club and country, Wayne is a true hero.

 

[Willkiller]

What a shit post. Almost as shit as Roy admitting he hasn't watched him with his "well, I'm interested that he's been called 'the Ginger Pirlo'."

He actually said that.

Well nothing I said was false there. Moved to a bigger club, gets recognition.

To be fair, he's been extremely solid for us since the move. The squad is totally mediocre from top to bottom, we're like what? Ranked mid-twenties in the world now? This is just what we are.

Ginger Pirlo is hilarious though.

He's a fantastic number ten if you play him there.

I think he's played upfront for Liverpool as well briefly.

 

[Nero3000]

Captain Rooney....great....

TBH no one else stands out.

 

[LanceVance]

Yurt has such irrational hatred and anger towards welbeck

Colback has to grow his hair and grow a ginger beard so we can make comparisons.

 

[Hixx]

He has to grow an ability to pass forwards first.

 

[Scum]

England should have a 'no captain' policy until one with the credentials shows up.

 

[Yurt]

I think he's played upfront for Liverpool as well briefly.

Again, that's not what I meant. But he can play as a second striker/free role


or he did already in the World Cup, I don't remember.

 

[Salvadora]

He's the head of the Italian FA.

 

[L1NETT]

Oh yeah in behind the front man sure i'd probably start him there but not leading a line.

I don't even know with that awful squad how I'd line up

Henderson --- Delph

Ox---Sterling---Welbeck

Sturridge

No idea.

 

[panty]

Looks weird seeing him in red

Looks awful. Enjoy dumping your career down the drain.

 

[Scum]

Huehuehuehue.

I'm bored

Is Shinji done yet?

Get him on the phone, Kevin

so angry

 

[Yurt]

but I love Sterling and Django

 

[Walshy]

Again, that's not what I meant. But he can play as a second striker/free role, right?


or he did already in the World Cup, I don't remember.

When Suarez was still at Liverpool last season, we often played a 4-4-2 diamond, with Sterling at the top of it. He often had a free role, drifting from just behind the strikers to operating on either flank.

I'd argue that he played best when we played 4-4-2, but this is Hodgson, he won't get the best out of him in that position.

Oh yeah in behind the front man sure i'd probably start him there but not leading a line.

I don't even know with that awful squad how I'd line up

Henderson --- Delph

Ox---Sterling---Welbeck

Sturridge

No idea.

You are forgetting that with Rooney captain, he is guaranteed to start most games now as well.

------------ Sturridge -------------
---- Sterling ------- OxFarm
Colback -- Delph -- Henderson

Edit - Fuck! Just remembered Captain Rppmey. Oh dear.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

That's got to be a blow to Cleverley's already miniscule confidence. Perhaps Hodgson doesn't want to employ a superior Spanish style of play?

 

[Randdalf]

I thought Eric Dier would get a call up after his performances for Tottenham in the first few games.

Galliani in tough negotiations with Torres' agent over salary demands at the moment.

Dat youth movement.

 

[Hixx]

Cattermole is crying

He will just snap him in the derby.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I'm glad Kagawa is moving to Dortmund, he's wasted with us.

And Yurt, I agree in most top nations Welbeck won't even be thought of on being capped; but England is really that dire.

We need a new youth development plan.

 

[LanceVance]

Wait wtf cleverly isn't in the squad

Did Roy forget he plays for Manchester United?

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

If Juve sign German Denis, please remove my name from the Juve supporters in the OP.

We need a better coaching system. The youngsters are there, but they're just wasted. How in God's fucking name is Clyne not a regular by now?

 

[Walshy]

Kane should of also been there over Welbeck too.

Considering he averages a goal every 8 hours and 40 minutes of football he's played in 2014.

Kane should have been in the squad over lambert

He's 32 and there's no chance he's playing in the euros

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Replace Milner with whoever

Oh bollocks you're right

You are right, but it still doesn't mean Welbeck has any place in the National Team.

 

[LegoArmo]

Welbeck has performed very well for the national team, he has earned his place every time he's been called upon.

Rooney is England's best player, and should be starting every game. You guys, I swear.

The Ox on the other hand has done absolutely nothing in his career, but he's young and quick, that's all that matters, isn't it.

 

[RandyBobandy]

Why did Andros Townsend get called up? He seriously had one half decent game

E; Callum chambers too :lol
