If you was Sven

[Nikki]

If you was Sven what will be your squad that will go to Portugal for the Euro 2004? Some young English talent from many clubs around the country arising, will be good to hear from you guys your views and team.


Cheers

if i was sven i'd put rooney on a bloody diet, did you how high he got up in the wall when they scored. you'd have had a hard time fitting a playing card under his feet.

btw thanks to n.ireland for kicking gilberto from reports dont seem good :annoyed:

squad will same as normal - smith, j cole & butt scrapping to get in the squad but i think will be left out. both nevilles will get in (unfortunately)gary - yes but phil ... hmmmm

[Snotty]

Lay off the Rooney nonsense ok? If it wasn't for him England probably would have ended up in the play offs...remember Macedonia? The ball went over DYER'S head for the free kick

Ledley King did well tonight. Joe Cole did really well when he came on I thought. Nicky Butt got better as the game got on. Paul Scholes showing touches of brilliance and then the opposite

I think Eriksson has got it spot on to be honest...maybe apart from the inclusion of Jermain Defoe. I'm certain he's gonna be a star, but time will tell I guess...

[Snotty]

I forgot to add that Boa Morte is a t*t

[Nikki]

who would you take out though to cater for Defoe? i agree with Defo bein an inclusion but who would make way for him?

Snotty m8, i'm not critising his skill but look at the lack of effort in the jump, i though it went over his head but will watch the replays later & if wrong i'll admit it. beckham and dyer gave it all in the jump, rooney didnt, simple as that.

[DelTrotter]

Defoe For Heskey All day but it wont happen

[Termy]

I don't think Phylis and Gaby Neville should be anywhere near the squad. They're both $hite.

Rooney would have jumped higher if they had dangled a bigmac over his head though. LOL.

[redarmy]

When that lump peskey gets picked every game there's a chance crusher out of my local will get a game .....................................

[Shotgunjim]

Defoe and King have a good shot at going... it all depends on injuries... we all know what the best 20 are, the question is who are the best fit players 20 are!!??

[QUOTE=Termy]I don't think Phylis and Gaby Neville should be anywhere near the squad. They're both $hite.QUOTE]

well compared to jamie (i've never made a forward pass in my life) carragher they are both fukkin revelations

the next best option for right back would appear to be mills who on a good day needs 3 touches before a poor cross is delivered

tbh i dont know why u are all so critical of any of last nites players, we did very well overall and maybe could have nicked the win in the end

just coz we are england doesnt meam we automatically beat every team

[Tattooed Freak]

I can't see Sven dropping Heskey as he still wants a big target man. Once Smith and Heskey came on last night Heskey never won one header. I would pick Rooney over Defoe as they both very similar players, but I rate Rooney much higher.

If you was Sven, how facking thick does that sound.

If you "WERE" Sven!

If I were Sven I would have the following as my strongest side:

*****************Robinson*****************



**Mills******Woodgate****Campbell*****Bridge**



**Beckham****Scholes*****Lampard****Dyer****



********Smith************Owen************

[Tattooed Freak]

I think Sven will opt for this, though I would disagree with the inclusion of James and G.Neville. Would love to see Woody start at Centre Half but his niggling injuries will keep him on teh bench.

******************James******************



**G.Neville******Terry****Campbell*****Bridge**



**Beckham****Scholes*****Lampard****Dyer****



********Rooney************Owen***********

I have Robinson in place of "calamity James" for a safer option.
I know James can sometimes make amazing saves, but this is negated by his proneness to errors.

Mills instead of Gary Neville, partly cos GN is a dirty grubby tached manc tw@t, but also I think he has scored too many own goals this season, and he is prone to headbutting people etc. Also Mills gets forwards better.

It was going to be Woody or Terry to partner Campbell, Woody is the better player, but will he be fit, Southgate is okay but I prefer the other two.

I give Bridge the edge on Ashley Cole, close call, but I dont like Coles attitude and willingness to dive, so Bridge gets the nod.

Beckhams still the best crosser of the ball in the side, so he needs to stay on the right.

Scholes maybe Ginger, but he's good at getting forward to support the strikers.

As is Lampard, who you cant leave out on current form.

For the left side, I feel the pace of Dyer could be utilised to attack down the wing, with Bridge on the overlap.

Rooney is good, but he's too young, and should be used sparingly.
I dont like the pairing of Owen and Rooney, its one or the other I think, cos they are too similar, so I have gone with Owen.

Smith hasnt had a decent run up front, but when he plays there he never fails to impress, even when not scoring cos he holds the ball up well and is not selfish, ideal partner for Owen In my opinion.

[pratman]

my team would be:

****************kirkland***************

g.neville****woodgate******campbell****a.cole


****************butt*******************

******beckham****scholes*******gerrard****

***********owen*****vassell*************

yes yes i can see its not all even, but i think vassell is more direct and slimmer than rooney to fit between defenders, so i think itso nly fair with him on form to be playing. And no, not any real width in this team as there is no left winger for england just leave the full backs to overlap and let the midfield fill in when needed, yes more than likely get slated for my choice of keeper, but the bloke is from my home city so i think he should be in cuz he is a quality keeper, its official

[jimbob2002]

owen and vassel is not going to work, who will hold the ball up for the other?

who will try and win headers?

They are too similar.

****************kirkland***************

carragher******Terry******King********a.cole


beckham******Lampard***Gerrard*******Dyer

***********owen*****Rooney*************

i cant believe how you lot can still think that putting Scholes/Butt/Neville/Neville in the team is passable....

Scholes - Great player, however - he is internationally jinxed

Butt - Cant get in the side above Phil Neville at Utd so why should he get into the midfield ahead of him for england. Also, no way he should be in above the standard four i have chosen.

G.Neville - i wont be as harsh as some fans, the guy is a decent player, but he and his brother are liabilites that you dont take risks on. Plus, he is ugly as sin...

Phil Nevile - I can honestly say, i have never seen a more negative footballer in sporting history, the guys is worse then terrible.....and i really sincerely mean that after seeing him 5 or 6 times this season.. Just plain bad...he passes the ball backwards or sideways EVERY time - and im not joking about this, he really does!!

If you cant understand what i mean then i will have to edit my post and arrange the words for yout to read, obvious you are having difficulty or your just trying to act good. :nono

No, I understood what you meant, I just thought it sounded a bit thick.

You know when you watch eastenders and Kat Slater and the likes are all talking really thick and sounding like right idiots, It just annoys me.

It might look right written down, but try saying it. It sounds stupid.

If my pointing out of this grammatical error has upset you in any way, then please accept my.... **** off!
