England:
Barry - Out
Jagielka - In
Barry cant continue after his injury in Norway game, shame he must be gutted. Funny we bought in CB for a CM though, oh well. |

I will be incredibly surprised if none of Spain, Holland or Germany wins this, something tells me Germany with their wonderful footie.
Also look out for the fierce Kyllinghests in the McDonalds league, teams playing 2-5-3 are always dangerous!Last edit: 2012-05-29 07:40:17 |

Which makes me wonder just what Hodgson's plan is. He religiously loves his 4-4-2, so we can expect that to at least be the starting formation, and with Barry's injury we have Gerrard, Lampard, Parker (still a doubt for me, despite managing 55 minutes against Norway), Milner and Henderson, with Jones capable of playing there. Which means we have Parker and Henderson who can play a holding mid, but neither are likely to play if Hodgson persists in the England curse of trying to play Gerrard and Lampard together in a 4-4-2.
Now if he tries something fancy and puts five or three in midfield, what will that middle three be? Gerrard is the captain, so he'll be playing. And Lampard - how many england managers have been able to leave him out? So we will likely see them pushing forward with Parker - if fit - and I'm guessing Jones if not as the holding mid. Because otherwise we'd have that ubiquitous Milner playing yet another role for England that he's not really that good at, but he keeps running and can play anywhere so we always take him.
A bit worrying in my eyes. Add to this Johnson is also an injury worry and may be unfit for the start of the tournament, which means we'd have to play Jones there (instead of Richards...sigh). Or...Kelly? Have to admit I don't even know this guy. But I'm not feeling good about the centre of the park or the right back position at all. At least the left is covered... ooo, can Baines play right back?
Not looking forward to seeing how we line up in the first game, sadly.
Edit: And AFC Tentacle will be slithering into the league. No idea how to post a pic of the team, but you should fear us. We will get into you(r penalty box) and score.Last edit: 2012-05-29 12:47:24 |

do you guys think this fantasy game should get its own thread?
at least the details for the TL league should be updated in the OP |

Just put Lampard on one of the wings, just look how well Becks turned out as right winger.
Do it Hodgson ^^
The thing is: should England play with 1 or 2 strikers, they all suck so you either need 2 to make the goals of one good striker or are better off keeping the attack to minimum.
I would probably try a 4-6-0 or 4-5-1 with a target man who can keep the ball up. You just need a reasonably skilled and tall guy for that, not Carroll. Would probably work wonders with the Hodgson 100% defensively focused strategy.

Jones will move to defensive midfield.
Lescott once Cahill and Terrry are back can cover at right back as well as Jagilka.
Shame really.. only one out and out defensive midfielder in parker now who has a niggle anyway!Last edit: 2012-05-29 17:31:14 |

From what i saw in the friendly, the team become the same old super sloppy mess they often are as soon as parker came off, he seems to be the only person in the squad who can pass a ball 5 feet without it being intercepted, downing should be nowhere near the squad let alone the first 11, hodgson must be bedding his girlfriend or something.
I would have loved to see him go balls to the wall with the selection and drop all the golden oldies, I would only keep parker as a player over 30, use it as a building experience for the young players to gel, there are quite a lot of bright sparks in the u21 and so on. People like shelvey, chamberlain, rose, kelly, lansbury etc. and butland as cover for hart. Just throw caution to the wind and see what happens, exciting play would be nice.
I wouldn't even mind if england played a super defensive style, provided they did it well. But as I said they are so bad at keeping possession with the current bunch of players it would backfire hard. |

Chelsea players re join the England squad this week after there 1 week break to refresh themselves for the tournament. I hope Hodgson just makes us hard to beat, the only way we will ever win a major tournament is by defending well and scoring the odd goal on the break, or score early on and keep the lead for the remainder of the game. Greece/Chelsea Champions league style is what they need and hope he does it, which i think he will to be honest.
Squad Numbers Anoounced (and finalised squad) -
1 Hart, 2 Johnson, 3 Cole, 4 Gerrard, 5 Cahill, 6 Terry, 7 Walcott, 8 Lampard, 9 Carroll, 10 Rooney, 11 Young,
12 Baines, 13 Green, 14 Jones, 15 Lescott, 16 Milner, 17 Parker, 18 Jagielka, 19 Downing, 20 Oxlade-Chamberlain, 21 Defoe, 22 Welbeck, 23 Butland
1st 11 in number order picks itself (apart from no4 gerrard CM not CB) Last edit: 2012-05-29 20:36:39 |

Oh I don't know, a highlight reel of carrolls failings is probably the best offering we can give to the tournament, and everyone loves watching him trip on the ball in front of an open net.
By the way is ukraine getting such bad press across europe or is it just in the UK, seems the media here have a new shocking expose into racism and hooligan culture every other hour. |

| Yeah, I don't see Caroll doing much this championship. I'd rather go with Welbeck than Caroll. With Rooney suspended, it's looking like England will have a tough time scoring. Lampard and Gerrard will have to step up to the occasion, I guess. |

Carroll have shown great form the last few months. He will dominate absolutey anyone in the air, and I think that fits Hodgsons primitive football quite well, not to mention that Welbeck has been injured.
As usual the England team is a poor football team, but their group shouldn't be a hard one and if they win it chances are they will dodge the biggest guns in the quarter finals. They are however so piss poor in comparison to the best teams, I would consider it a bigger upset if they won the cup than it was when Greece took it home. |
