Will 2,963 12.8k Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Nearly everyone is putting AJ. Adam Reach has more chance of going than Adam Johnson :P Probably because he's in great form and has been a huge part of Sunderlands up turn in form over the last two months. He is a player that can turn a game on its head very quickly and IMO would be a great asset to Hodgson in the summer. As for the other part of your post, lol.

L3 UTB 7 302 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hart, Ruddy, Forster ---------------------------- Baines, Shaw Walker, Flanagan Cahill, Jagielka, Jones, Lescott ---------------------------- Gerrard, Lampard, Milner, Barry Sterling, Henderson, Wilshere, Barkley, Oxlade-Chamberlain ---------------------------- Rooney, Sturridge, *Carroll *If Carroll gets a run of games before the world cup, he has that 'no one knows how to deal with him' factor, If not maybe Rodriguez or Lallana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoroDownSouth 71 3.8k Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Ljohnson, regarding your reasoning for Carroll...why not Lambert then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borojod 7 1.4k Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 IMO I think Lambert would not perform against the top teams, whereas Carroll could make a difference. I am hoping for a Gerrard (DM) and Barkley (AM) partership in midfield, with possibly Wilshire in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoroDownSouth 71 3.8k Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Jod, I didn't mean Lambert instead of Carroll - meant if Carroll cant get a run of games, then surely Lambert should go for his reasonings in Carrolls place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rate Lambert much, (although he would have the same principle) I just don't see Lambert as a player that will scare defenders whereas Carrol I think would have that fear factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoroDownSouth 71 3.8k Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Aha :) I totally agree re: Carroll, I rate him so highly for England - he offers power up front that other strikers just don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccarone 265 4.4k Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 When you look at the options and players available you realise just how poor England have become. People bang on about the Premier League but when you look at the recent season failings of our 'top' teams then start to undestand that the national team will also suffer. Anything past the group stage is a bonus. Approaching 1000 posts, taken a while but a very good forum, good banter, really enjoy taking part, thanks to all. merit point to celebrate would be good, stuck on 8 for ages, double fuigures surely.

Neverbefore 13,623 28.1k Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hang on.. is this the same Andy Carroll who has scored 13 goals in 72 appearances since moving from Newcastle 3 years ago? 44 of those games (and only 6 goals) in a top 6 side in Liverpool? And has scored 2 in 9 for England? And offers more or less nothing else and is weak as a flower for a man his size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heskey wasn't a goalscorer but was an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverbefore 13,623 28.1k Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 There's a difference between Carroll and Heskey, Heskey could hold the ball up and was relatively intelligent. Carroll doesn't have a footballing brain at all. I'm not basing my opinion of Carroll on his goal return (or lack there of), but on his all round play. He's exceedingly average. Lambert is a much more intelligent striker and offers a lot more, so does Rodriguez. Defoe is a better option too. Heck even Fraser Campbell and Darren Bent are better players than Carroll for me. Rooney, Sturridge and Welbeck are certs and with only one more position available for a striker, Carroll shouldn't even be considered imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManBearPig 2,032 4k Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 My ideal England 11: Hart Johnson Cahill Jagielka Baines Gerrard Barry Lallana Rooney Townsend Sturridge Subs: Green, Walker, Lambert, Barry, Ross Barkley, Shaw, Rodriguez Midfield of Wilshere, Carrick, Barry or Milner isnt exactly terrible to chose from either!
