England v Croatia

People are suggesting Lampard play a freer role up front (4-3-3 or 4-5-1), not part of a 4-4-2.

That's why Alain is comparing Lampard to Bent and Defoe. Nothing to do with Gerrard.

Unless you're suggesting that merely the sight of Frank in an England shirt suddenly prevents Gerrard from playing well?

I think J.Cole would be better in that role...

I think the only reason lamps and stevie g dont play well is cos the coaching staff dont play the right system...

the spine of the england team is good (okay apart from the keeper)

terry, rio, lamps, stevie and rooney

the england team should be bulit around these players IMO...
 
So, looks like the team is going to be:

_________________Carson_________________

Richards______Campbell / Lescott________Bridge

__________________Barry__________________

SWP_______Lampard_____Gerrard______J Cole

__________________Crouch________________


Your thoughts?

ON PAPER a great selection but I fear the England players will make a hash of playing in that way - why McClaren can't see that a simple 4-4-2 ALWAYS works better by now baffles me.
 
Who's he going to play as second striker though? A couple of lads who can't get a game for Spurs?

What's happened to Ashton? Is he injured again?
 
Хорватия вперед!! Вы нам должны... Англия со своей мерзкой игрой не заслужила выхода из группы
---------------------------------------------------
Croatia onward!! You us must... England with its vile play has not deserved output from group

They'll be taking it serious for sure.

They will want to avoid defeat so they top the group and get seeded.

Conspiracy theories say that Croatia want to finish second anyway with the chance of possibly facing "weaker" nations at the finals.

Hmmm... not really looked at how the seeding works so it will be interesting to see who ends up seeded in which plae.
 
So just read on BBC this could all be a moot point. Field might be too wet to have the match. F*cking ridiculous if that happens, how much did that stadium cost? And it can't handle some rain?!
 
If the game was abandoned it would be played outside of the international window and club teams wouldnt be required to release players.
Ibramovic would have a big say lol.
 
In all fairness, it really is pissing it down. Its hardly just "some rain"

Unless we put on an entirely retractable roof on the thing which is extremely rare in football stadia anyway.

Serbia have this problem in they beat poland tonight thay can win their last game and qualify due to head-head matches but they might not have all their players available if clubs are arseholes.
