Good job really............
And not everyone is bitter about their 'rivals'.Not everyone is blinded by players from their own team.
If you'd rather a player who's contributed half as many goals in the team then good in ya, but I'll take the one who's got a proven record.
Btw, I'd still take lambert and Lallana, and I doubt either will be in my team next year.

That's a shame, as a Fulham fan I'd have 20:20 vision :rofl:

I'm really looking forward to it as well, got a feeling that they will do well this year.
Slight worry about the Goalie that's all.

Sorry, why can't you discuss players without seeming to get personal ? It is all about opinions, but you do seem to get rather upset if someone doesn't agree with you. I have no problems with people that support other teams unlike you it seems. To me it means I have something in common, as I love football, and love to chat about it.
btw I was commenting on the fact that I would select Barkley, and I don't support Everton. :ears:

What even after some of Steve Sidwell's shots ?
when I accused someone of choosin Barkley because supporting Everton, you chose to hit in and subtlety suggest I'm biaised but it's not ok for me to do the same. Every subject that's ever trend to saints has had your little snipes in. You don't like my posts don't comment. There's an ignore button I believe.
Im not upset if someone disagrees with me, but will general try and justify my point. Have never said anyone is wrong. Have pointed out thing that I belive mean their wrong but never said people can't have an opinion. Much like yourself choosing barlkely. That's your choice. I just don't know why, with the records of the two players someone would.

My remark meant that I had picked Barkley and I didn't support Everton. I don't do subtle so think you might have got the wrong end of the stick. I also have no problems with local rivals, which you seem to think. I have been to watch Southampton many times with mates, and not when they were playing Reading. Also been to a lot of games at Aldershot and Portsmouth. I love watching football, and can't stand all this local rival rubbish. My comments are made as a football fan, not a supporter of a particular club.
Sorry you didn't realise this.
Fair enough, I guess you just don't rate any of the saints players. As you have most Definately made remarks towards them in the past.
I will hold my hands up and say I presumed your first comment was digging at me as I've been pro saints players.
As as I said I respect your opinion on Barkley. Going to each the likes of Pompey though? Lost me there!! 😃

I would chose Barkley because he reminds me of Gazza pre WC1990 - he may not have the stats ( stats never tell the full story ) but he is at the a heart of everything creative about Evertons good play and England's good play last night. He may bit provide the final ball but he will create the chance to allow that final ball to be played. Got to give him a go

Where did I ever say I don't rate Southampton players. All I ever said was I thought Barkley was worth more than Lallana. Lambert is an excellent player. I have commented on here how he is a good hold up player, can drop off, and has a good football brain. When we won at St Mary's a few years back he terorised our defence, kept dropping off at the far past against our full backs. He scored with a rocket though it was deflected.
Lallana is another decent player, and is in my England team. I am pretty sure we tried to buy him when you were in the 1st division. I think Shaw will do a Bale, and move forward into midfield, as he is stronger as an attacking player, than a defender. Rodriquez got a nasty injury, and I would be worried about him next season. Seems to be a player that lacks confidence if not scoring. As I said before, Burnley supporters I spoke to rate Ings more highly, and having seen him last game of the season, he had one sniff on goal, edge of the box, and tucked it away in the corner. Better player than Charlie Austin in my opinion, even if he was once on our books.

Sterling is across between Norman Hunter, Tommy Smith, Graeme Souness and Roy Keane.:thup:
I think you have to start with Rooney as he has the experience. Certainly for the first game when Italy will be as vulnerable to the heat as us. If we can put up a good performance and particularly if we can win then what a strong position to start. I think pace is the key to the Uruguay game and the ideal time to bring in the young guns

Shaw... tough one between him and Johnson
Cahill
Jag
Baines
Gerrard
Henderson
Barkley
Rooney.... or Lallana. Rooney may have lost some of the shine but I feel he's more consistent than he's ever been.
Ox
Sturridge
Shaw's defensive abilities were light years ahead of Johnson's this season. He's not as good going forward but with that midfield there won't be any real need. Rooney is a great link player between midfield and the attack, and his ability to cover back shouldn't be underrated. If England were up against tough opposition I'd drop Sturridge for Lambert, who can hold the ball better if its hoofed up to him.
C'mon England!

Shaw is a left back though ?
And sounds like Oxlade will struggle to be fit for the tournament

Ox has ligament damage, and is out for at least 2 weeks if not longer.
One thing our players must do is stay on their feet in tackles. Leave the ground even if they get the ball and they will be off. Gerrard and Henderson have previous. Foreign refs much stricter than British ones. If Rooney plays he will have to keep his cool against Italy and Uruquay, as they are very good at winding players up.

You cant have Shaw and Baines in the same team they both play left back.
Who you going to have at right back?
richart

Do we have a reserve right back ? Presumably it would be Smalling or Jones, but neither would fill me with confidence.
