ffs thudd's been injured all season you savages

A player with thudd's touch, vision and striking ability would be more useful behind england's strikers than gerrard, if 451/433 with nippy wingers is a thing

Lennon, btw

Which Jones are you starting on left mid?

Phil

Actually think Parker-Huddlestone-Modric could have made a great midfield but we seem destined never to actually see it. Parker basically compensates for all Huddlestone's flaws.

pps

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:30 (fourteen years ago)

Whatever, we all know the England team that turns up in Poland and Ukraine will be the worst for years.

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:31 (fourteen years ago)

parker behind thudd, screening, modric around thudd, orbiting. It's a v beautiful thought.

Thudd is 6'4" and therefore must play behind a smaller dude tho, it's the rules

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:31 (fourteen years ago)

Oh, duh, the big guy who plays for Man U. Hasn't he been injured recently?

― le ralliement du doute et de l'erreur (Michael White), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:34 (fourteen years ago)

Not badly I don't think but yeah, a lot of projection onto injured players itt

― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:36 (fourteen years ago)

king
dawson
walker
thudd
parker
lennon
defoe

could all make the plane, depending on injuries

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:39 (fourteen years ago)

you forgot Bale

― Number None, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:40 (fourteen years ago)

not sure at what stage of that scale re rooney alternatives i started messing, but y'all do remember he's out for the first few games right

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:41 (fourteen years ago)

Ashley Young was the second player you named

― Number None, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:42 (fourteen years ago)

in a three, tbf, in a three

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:44 (fourteen years ago)

yeah he's been awful though

― Number None, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:44 (fourteen years ago)

looking at wing/striker options (ie guys that can do both like sturridge, young, wellbeck) and fullbacks, it's clear england have more than enough 7.5/10 versatility in the squad for a change. Lack of reliable centre fwd/backs is the likely weakness this time

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:47 (fourteen years ago)

what happened young btw

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:48 (fourteen years ago)

I honestly don't know. He was an integral member of the vintage Utd side of August '11

― Number None, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:51 (fourteen years ago)

god be wit de days

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:52 (fourteen years ago)

dunno if it's Young or Fergie tho tbh, he wasn't playing on the reg before he got injured was he?

― dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:54 (fourteen years ago)

He was. Valencia was injured though

― Number None, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:57 (fourteen years ago)

He was an integral member of the vintage Utd side of August '11

Ah, glory days....

― Monkee Trial (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:00 (fourteen years ago)

young on the left at the start of the season tho

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:01 (fourteen years ago)

I explained this before but Nani changes sides depending on whether Young or Valencia is playing

― Number None, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:03 (fourteen years ago)

see now ilx has me worried that i can't scold a fukn donegal man for being uppity

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:04 (fourteen years ago)

we've certainly suffered our share of oppression.

― Number None, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:10 (fourteen years ago)

don't kid yerselves the brits hardly bothered with ye iirc

they took fermanagh but not donegal

― gyac, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:31 (fourteen years ago)

the road only went that far tbf

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:34 (fourteen years ago)

shouldn't have stopped in kinnegad for that burger

― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:35 (fourteen years ago)

Who, if any of the English old guard should be retained? I've pretty much washed my hands of the lot of them, if only just to start anew.

gerrard's game has improved a little imo?

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:41 (fourteen years ago)

Gerrard looked decent last night i thought. He'll be injured though

― Number None, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:42 (fourteen years ago)

centre mid of gerrard parker ain't bad

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:42 (fourteen years ago)

As lothsome as he is, I kind of agree that Cole is still worth it. Any defenders?

centre mid of gerrard parker ain't bad

Who plays right, then?

― le ralliement du doute et de l'erreur (Michael White), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:43 (fourteen years ago)

lennon, walcott, AOC?

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:45 (fourteen years ago)

And is there any way a foreign manager can argue that leaving Rooney out for the sake of the team's general flexibility, whether tactically or due to injuries, isn't going to get lynched?

― le ralliement du doute et de l'erreur (Michael White), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:46 (fourteen years ago)

i mean, i don't know that any of them is a natural rm in 442 but none are bad options (obv everyone projecting like mad on AOC but kid looks good)

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:47 (fourteen years ago)

but everyone hates Rooney. And it all depends on how the first two games go really

― Number None, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:47 (fourteen years ago)

He seemed like he had more, hmm, heft to him than Walcott does in that game last week.

― le ralliement du doute et de l'erreur (Michael White), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:48 (fourteen years ago)

You have to pick your squad before you go, though, right? What's the number, now? 23?

― le ralliement du doute et de l'erreur (Michael White), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:49 (fourteen years ago)

can't drop rooney tbf, it would be counterproductive because of the frenzy.

Tactically it should obv be trialled from now til then tho

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:50 (fourteen years ago)

oh right, you mean out of the squad. There really aren't enough decent strikers around to consider it imo

― Number None, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:51 (fourteen years ago)

it would be counterproductive because of the frenzy.

Yeah, I can see that being an issue

― le ralliement du doute et de l'erreur (Michael White), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:54 (fourteen years ago)

Arsenal are eyeing a move for Daniel Sturridge, 22. The Chelsea hitman is believed to be unhappy with his wide role.

― James Mitchell, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 08:23 (fourteen years ago)

can't help but feel it's a character flaw in a player to be pissy about where they play

― dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 08:24 (fourteen years ago)

subtle
