Romey 1878 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Why isnt Lescott in the squad to play Spain? It's a disgrace when you think players like Jenas and Downing can get into every squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 all those highlighted are worse than lescott I'd say he's better than Carragher aswell, only because Carragher has lost his pace now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Speaking about Bridge.. I've heard from that Moyes wanted him on loan but Mourinho didn't want to let him go until the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I'd defo say Lescott is better than Carra. But, there are some good defenders who are there, Woodgate has been playing pretty well at the moment and as well is Dawson so its a difficult decision by McLaren (don't like him tho). But saying that it is a friendly so its an ideal time to experiment. Maybe in the next friendly he'll be callled up. He better be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluenose Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 id have bridge. hes a decent left back. as for lescott not in the england squad. its not so bad. we need him for everton and knowing our luck hell get injured after stevie g 'misses the ball' in training.

Louis Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 It'll be interesting to see if there are any spats between Barton and Lampard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Apparently some of the senior squad told McClaren not to pick him. What a joke that is, they were just scared they'd lose their places that they've held with almost no risk of losing it. I'd rather have Barton in the centre for England than Lampard, not that the manager will be brave enough for that. Barton had every right to criticise some players for bringing out autobiographies about their meaningless lives to make a quick buck from fans when they already have enough money.

Louis Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I agree entirely. Apparently one of the Hull fans on soccer am was an Evertonian and he asked JB if he'd join.

StevO Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Lescott - think hes better than cara and Dawson at the moment, if not most of the others.

jamiemaher85 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) ^^ I just don't rate him that highly. Don't think hes england quality yet. He's still young though and no doubt will improve, especially along side King, who has been unfortunate with injuries bith i think when fit should be on the negland bench as our sub CB or holding midfield above someone like carrick. an 18m waste of space. remeber how class King played against France, didnt let zidane have a touch Edited February 5, 2007 by jamiemaher85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm seriously starting to lose interest in England (been slowly not caring for ages now since we sold Rooney). But now I'm at my lowest. We get rid of one FA boy (sven) to replace him with another. I want some one will balls as an England coach. I mean, why is Lampard still in the England squad, how many bad performances in an England shirt is it going to take? I know a lot of people rate Carrick but I don't see why barton hasn't been given the nod ahead of him. And Gerrerd on the wing again its obvious it doesn't work...wish the England managers would stop picking some favourite players grow some bollocks and choice people who deserve to be playing because of their performance and not because of who they are and who they play for. And not sure about Dyer, don't think hes done enough to get a call up. I'm sure a lot will disagree but I honeslty think England a shite, and if we don't get someone in to play who wants to play then we are screwed. Its not like we don't have world class players but just a shit system. As Sir Alf Ramsey said (I think it was him) "Its better to have an individual team rather than a team full of individuals" Well something liek that...

Nothing! anyway im rambelling now. but you should always fully support the national team. You choose your club not your country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Knew the firing squad would be out on what I said, and they're not finished yet But, for the sake of the arguement I still support them, always have and always will, but that doesn't mean I have to be content with the woeful lacklustre performances from so called world class players, or the endless excuses or the manager who picks his favourite rather than who deserves it. I've had countless of heated arguements with Scots, Welsh and even live with an Irishman so few there a few arguements when England play I've lost interest as its pretty much the same squad every game, and every game we play pants. Maybe one or two new people in there but even then, some of those are played out of position which is just stupid. As I said, always support them but when we get beat in friendlies or play crap I care a lot less than I did. Even in competition I'm not that fussed. I was in tears in '98. I was laughin in Germany in 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 ^^^ it does get annoying when we play the same squad every game, everyfan in the world knows we can't play lamps and gerrard in the same squad yet we still try, its stupid. wish we had a mor dynamic manager, mcclarren is just mind numbling unispiring. the tony blair of football, thinks that aslong as he keeps smiling then noone will notice that he hasn't got a clue. the main problem we have is, and for a very long time has been, the left wing. our only decent left winger is stewart downing. and hes not the best. and Joe cole is good but he's not a lfet winger as he has a crap left foot. i get sick of him playing like a crab and always moving in sideways. if only giggs had chosen england!!!

MikeO Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) i said in a game that counts, that was a friendly 2002 World cup qualifying game actually. I find it hard to get excited about the England team as well. Always think we're going to pull it around but it never happens, you'd think I know better at my age. My interest increases the more Everton players there are in the team, the '86 World Cup was great for a couple of games until the cheating bastard midgit got into the act. Robson was forced by injury and suspension after the first two games to play the team all Evertonians knew he should have started with. Wilkins and Brian Robson were the underperforming Lampard and Gerrard of the day and without them we flew. Fucking great headline in one of the papers I stuck on my wall at work.. ENGLAND OWE IT TO EVERTON It was great while it lasted...and if Reidy had slice Maradonna in two when he had the chance it could have been better.

We've got four points in hand over the Greeks after all so we may still scrape a play-off place...just enjoy yourselves eh."
