IF...Woy can find the right combination of players in the right positions, Rooney in midfield but with players round him who will do the running for the lard ar$e, then why not

Not convinced these comments are nothing but a ploy to build up England so the Scots will have more joy if England fail
Doon I thought you were old enough and wise enough to know that our manager has won nothing of note in his career and was in charge of probebly our worst ever World Cup performances. :thup:

Cannot see England doing much more than quarter, perhaps semi, finals.
What sort of defence have we got when you look at the likely candidates. Clyne, Walker, Smalling, Cahill, Jagielka, Stones, Bertrand and Rose.
That lot would struggle to tackle a good dinner. All the full-backs think they are wingers and, with the possible exception of Smalling, the centre-backs have all had less than convincing seasons.
But they need not worry as when they come home having not won it will, as usual, all be heaped upon the manager.

Always a lot of hype about England in the lead up to finals and almost always a load of nonsense.
This time, though, I think they can win it. They have a better team than recently and the other likely winners have gone backwards. However I don't think they actually will win it and I certainly hope they won't!
So all of the above, I think!

If England play similar to spurs, they will go two nil up, and then get a nose bleed.

Woy's cautious, negativity will stymie England. His comments about Rooney a few weeks ago demonstrated that he cant resist picking him. Rooney does not deserve to start but Woy wont have the guts to stick him on the bench, hiding behind Rooney's goalscoring record and him being captain as reasons to pick a player who simply hasnt performed all year.

See what I mean about the press and the fans:lol:
Can you name someone better than Hodgson to lead England ?
His win ratio for England must be pretty high.
The current squad have a good young defense and I would move Rooney to midfield where he is best suited.
You also have a few strikers who know where the goalposts are and seem to be unafraid to have a go.
My only worry would be the goalkeepers, not the greatest IMO.

England won't win it but I think he'll get a lot of positive press if he is bold and takes a chance with all the players he selected in the last couple of matches and not Rooney et al who have had injury lay-offs this season.

Worse England defence I can remember, and that goes back to 1966. I want defenders that can defend, rather than ones that are great going forward with the ball. The way Morgan and Huth play for Leicester would do me. If in doubt row Z. Their back four play as a unit, England's play as individuals.

Now there is something I can agree with.
Why do we continually praise "defenders" who can't defend just because they are "comfortable on the ball" and are "great going forward"? Rio was both of those but learned early on what was his primary responsibility.
They are referred to as defenders for a reason.

He will be going though...enough said.
I don't fancy the other ones either. Remember in this sort of competitions injuries play a big part.

Didn't everyone say the same before the last world cup, take a chance with the young ones to blood them for the future. It never happened and we did the same old same old rubbish.

I don't think he will play Rooney , I also think with the power n pace available up front that should make the oppo defend a bit more , with Rooney up front the oppo wing backs get free reign putting pressure on midfield & defence ..

Should go with two up front. Jamie Vardy and the Jamie Vardy lookalike guy.... defences won't be able to cope!
