England line ups

Maybe that's how Walcott (and The Ox?) should be used, as impact players, coming on after half-time to put pressure on the opposing defenders. I'd be happy if we started off against France :
Hart;
Johnson, Cahill, Lescott (OK, it'll be EBJT but I can dream), Cole;
Milner, Gerrard, Parker, Young;
Carroll, Welbeck.
Get Carroll to work the French defence, bump 'em around a bit whilst Welbeck uses his speed and guile to draw them out of position; Young to drift, Milner to play deep but support attacks with Gerrard, Parker to compete for every ball - then at half-time or shortly thereafter bring on Walcott to use his speed in attack and The Ox to take on the "Rooney Role" - with perhaps Carroll and (whoever else is knackered) coming off. There you go Roy, the plan for Engerland's 1-0 against France. The French? They're good going forward but not so hot defensively (especially if Evra is playing) - we need to contain them and we'll get the goal. Thankyouverymuch!

You failed to mention Young tripping in the box!

Boring as hell match, England look a second rate outfit. I think Roy knows that and is setting up a team based on discipline and a strong defence rather than tippy-tappy ball playing which England just aren't capable of. Better to win a boring match 1-0 than lose an exciting one 3-2.

Progress already - England have been a third-rate outfit for a long time now, with one or two "stars" and a media image that defied belief. The only top quality Engerland have had these past years have been their fans!

Give the manager a chance FFS. If he makes us hard to beat, that will be an improvement

Martin Kelly? Fuckin hell, some potential there but he is more injury prone than Keiran Gibbs.

Cant believe Micah Richards and Ferdinand aint been picked

The FA just want to keep the costs down and are picking a team that will be home early....

..................Hart...................
Johnson Cahill....Terry.....Cole..
Milner...Parker...Gerry...Downing

................Carroll..................

When Rooney is available, he will come in for one of the wingers with Young moving there and Rooney off the stiker.

Sounds like you picked it the midfield right RoT. Not sure about Milner on the wing 'meself like' but hope he puts in a shift.

Rumours that the Ox is starting, and Welbeck over Carroll. So maybe...

Hart

Johnson Terry Lescott Cole

Ox Parker Gerrard Walcott

Young

Welbeck


Loads and loads of pace, and a good solid base.

Milner will be playing instead of Walcott and will be on the same wing as Ribery I would think. Decent enough team though to give it a go, hopefully we will be organized and try and not give the ball away stupidly.

We'll sit back. No more trying to play continental football with technically inferior players, I think Roy is the first manager we've had since Sven who knows the limitations of the English players. Reckon this'll be 1-0 either way.

Agree we will sit back which is our best chance, but we still need to make sure we don't give the ball away needless like we have done in the past as it just invites pressure.

Luckily with no Carroll we don't seem to have any hoof targets. All of the midfield are tidy on the ball, but I think Young will probably drift out wide a lot so fast balls down the channels will be the order of the day. Fucking hell we miss Rooney..

I can't remember the last time he did anything good for England, I'm not to bothered by his absence.

He's our best player by a country mile.

The Ox is starting..

I still would've preferred a solid two in middle with Young on wing and Gerrard behind Wellbeck..

MASSIVE game.. we need to ideally finishes top of the group and avoid Spain..

If we quality, looks like we'll have Spain or Italy so no matter what we'll have to be flawless in the quarters.

Lets fcuk the froggy bastards over

Indeed, COME ON ENGLAND!!

no need for that QB.

Piss off ya faggot. Dirty ,smelly, cowardly citroen driving garlic sucker.




And i regard the French the same

we would have done , if one Young cud get a better understanding with his other player..And two the supposed no1 goal keeper in england Mr hart cud make a routine save rather than letting the ball cross the line

You seriously blaming Hart for that? He was unsighted by Parker and Gerrard. Gerrard also turned his back but both he and Parker were a good 10yrds too deep. Welbeck needs to liven up sharpish. He's been a passenger thus far and Johnson needs to remember that he's there to defend
