England v Switzerland | This Saturday .
 

What would your starting 11 be?

Mine would be . . . . . .

Hart
A.Cole
Terry
Ferdinand
G.Johnson
A.Johnson
Wilshere
Lampard
Walcott
Crouch
Bent

is it a 2012 qualifier? idk what my team would be... but I predicted the scores of the last 2 Euro qualifiers for England correctly, so I'll say this one will be 1-1.

Yeah it's a Qualifier, I'll go with 2-0 England Bent and Lampard

------------------------ Joe Hart --------------------------

------------------ Terry ------ Ferdinand-------------------

---- Johnson ------------------------------------- Cole -----

------------------ Wilshere ---- Parker---------------------
---------------------------Lampard-------------------------

----A. Young-----------------------------------Downing-----
--------------------------Bent-----------------------------

England 3-1 Switzerland

GK: Hart
RB: Baines
CB: Terry
CB: Ferdinand
LB: Cole
CDM: Wilshere
RM: Lampard
LM: Downing
CAM: Walcott
ST: Rooney
ST: Bent

2 - 0 to England.

Rooney is suspended.

Oh yeah bugger, I'd swap him for Parker then and have Parker and Wilshere as defensive midfielders, Walcott and Downing as wingers and Lampard as Attacking midfield with Bent as the forward.

-------------------Hart
--------Ferdinand-------Terry
Johnson--------Wilshere---------Cole
--------Lampard---------Milner
Young------------Defoe----------Walcott

Wilshere plays both behind midfield as deep lying playmaker and can come forward ahead of Lampard and Milner
Lampard and Milner are good goal threat in and around the box
Young and Walcott swap wings throughout, also they join Defoe centrally when Cole or Johnson make overlapping runs
West Ham got relegated, they should have no players in the squad, they overrated, if they so good, why they play so **** and get relegated
Bent is not good enough

Bent is not good enough? are you actually kidding me? have you seen his record in the premier league this year in comparison with defoe? are you aware he's scored 3 in his last 3 england games?

- Was waiting for Nate's reply -

Someone please pick him up on that west ham comment aswell

I don't care what they do in friendlies and qualifiers or the league

Bent is not good enough for a world cup or Euros, neither is Defoe

England have no quality strikers at the moment, which is very sad.

Rooney is the best but even he is not an outright goalscrorer

When England find a Shearer or Lineker then we might have chance at world cup glory

West Ham are ****, they got relegated, why should England be taking players from a relegated team?

Not good enough, delude yourself all you like

Everyone saw how **** England were in last World Cup

friendlies and qualifiers mean sod all

Defoe has pulled out of the squad with injury.

Parker won't be with a 'relegated team' by the start of next season, he's too good to be playing in the Premier League and most definitely good enough to make the England squad.

Parker is just another average footballer like Barry
Barry and Parker are not good enough quality to win a world cup
Wilshere has potential to be
Lampard and Gerrard when on top of their game are good
These 3 players should be the England midfield if they all fit
No one else is good enough.
Rooney is only good striker in England
Then all that is left is 2 wide striker positions
Young and Walcott in my opinion are best of a bad bunch.
players like Barry and Parker should not be in the squad as they will never be good enough
Instead youth players should be chosen as back up to Wilshere, Lampard, Gerrard and look to future

Kind of ironic that the one player Utd need is a player exactly like Parker.

United had Hargreaves who is much better than Parker but always injured
Liverpool need 10 players :tongue:

I know, but we still have a better CM than United.

So do West Ham, funnily enough.

Jack Wilshere will be 1 of the best midfielders in the world 1 day.

Watch this space . . . . :spin:

yeah so good you nearly stopped us winning 19th title :xyxwave:
give you Gerrard but who else seriously?
i would not take any, I would not even take Gerrard now as he past his best
i would love if United bought Lucas, but I am talking about the real Lucas who Liverpool mistakenly thought they were getting

Parker & Noble > Carrick and Fletcher/Gibson

Lucas was our player of the year this season, and if I'm not mistaken, was also in the top 10 in the league for pass completion and tackle completion.

hopefully yeah but need lot more quality players
England need to invest in setting up a world class youth system
Hope Platini pushes through the 6+5 rule and tell manageers to PLAY the ENGLISH youth
otherwise England will never win anything

who the ****** is noble?
hate united all you like but don't talk rubbish
just because xavi and iniesta > carrick/fletcher/gibson does not mean every other player you like is as well
united won the league
west ham got relegated
united are good team
west ham are sh**
if united are so sh** then that shows just how sh** the league is and so how can you then think west ham players who got relegated from this sh** league are good enough to compete for a world cup/euro?

It speaks volumes that you don't even know who Noble is.

Not worth having a conversation about things like this if you don't know the first thing about football.

:crazy:

speaks volumes that you take the comment literally
you just use it as an excuse to end the conversation

The best full back in the world

--------------Green
--------------Upson
--------Parker-----Noble
-------------- Cole

right spine of a team is important we all know
now if these west ham players are good enough for england then why did west ham get relegated
the answer is they are NOT good enough for england
they are just good compared to other players around their level
so they appear to be better than they actually are
if these west ham england players were truly exceptional, west ham would NOT be relegated
instead they would top half of the league standard
reality check, west ham players not good enough for england, PERIOD

Green and Upson have already proved the point on the big stage
Do you want Noble, Parker and Cole to also PROVE it before you believe
When they play for one of better teams and help that team fight for Europe or top 10 at least, then they can be considered for England
not before

that 19th title hit you bad didn't it

No, I'm fine as long as we hold the record for the most important trophy.

i prefer league over cup :hugesmile:
consistency over flukes :xyxwave:

A fluke is when the referee sides with you for 38 games a season. Oh no actually.. that's called bribery.

:joker:

i dont even care about united and liverpool

this thread is about ENGLAND

you got record for EURO and league cup
we have record for league and FA cup

who cares?

The odds are quite crap on this game, the bookies seem to think England will be scoring loads, so I've just gone for Milner first scorer at 14/1, e/w.

LOL Grimnir's chatting a lot of sh*t in here

2-1 Switzerland, could be an interesting one

Come On


How dare they get a Goal ahead

Do you think I care what some little, naive, american football and MTV fan has to say about my opinions on football?

You didn't give any opinions of your own I notice, except to being able to read a current scoreline and say hmm interesting.

I think I now wish to visit Switzerland when visit from Germany - so funny

You notice 0 - Matt is a nice bloke
