Any idea which players rejected the chance to be on the England stand-by list?
Carrick. |

Second half went flat, as these friendlies always do. I'm not sure we learned anything new from the game - apart from the fact that he continued with the 4 2-3-1 formation. I think his biggest decision for the beginning of the tournament might be the three behind the main striker. Young looks good in the middle, but that probably means Downing on the left. I would like him to be bold and go with Young on the left, Walcott on the right and Oxlaide Chamberlain in the middle.

At times Carroll and Young linked up pretty well but after Gerrard went off there was no link between the back and front, cant play both Parker and Barry IMO.
Good to see Ox get his debut and thought jagielka played well, especially considering he knows he isnt in the sqaud

under roy england games won't get anymore exciting than that! Trouble is we lack real world class talent at the moment, we'll struggle to dominate france and sweden, possibly even ukraine at home! sitting back and being hard to breakdown is the way forward at the euros this year. A potential snorefest is the only way we'll do well

Looks like Woy, will take the Otto Rehhagel approach....a big bugger up front and then ten behind the ball and try and bore the opposition to death. Chelsea won the Champion's League that way, but pretty it wont be.

John Beck's sexy football! Didn't see the game, but surely it wasn't that bad. It was a bit of a scratch side anyway. |

Carrick.
Barry was fucking hideous. God if he was getting picked ahead of me I would retire. |

Pluses for me were, Carrol, Young and Ox.
Jones is a liability, as is Barry and Downing. Walcott did what he usually does, provide great impact with no end product.
Micah Richards and Adam Johnson should be in the squad IMO, I would probably have Jones in the squad as the replacement for Barry.

He's about 3 times better than Stuart Downing. More pace, skill, and a better cross and shot. Must take Johnson and must leave Downing at home. |
