Chr1s Lawson Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 That control from Rooney. I don't know if its a fitness thing but Rooney has definitely lost a yard of pace and his first touch has been very poor over the last 3 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett.spurs Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Lallana could easily be Liverpool's next Charlie Adam imho. Media have him pigeonholed as another of England's bright young things, but he's 26 now compared to Sterling, Barkley, Ox, Shaw, Wilshere etc. who are all 18-22. England would actually be somewhat exciting to watch with those five playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 is Johnson really the ONLY player in that position. Well apparently Clyne, Chambers and Flanagan weren't even good enough to back-up Johnson and with injury to Walker and Richards being cast out (rightly so for once) from the squad, who else is going to play there? Not to forget Matt Lowton either. None of the players I've mentioned are spectacular but then neither is Johnson, soooo... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 The idea he is creative is a myth. I am a big fan but he is very raw and doesn't open teams up enough with his passing Not sure who said he was creative? My point was that you can't really praise someone for taking a 25 yard pot shot when there's a very obvious pass on. If he does the right thing and plays through the striker it's most likely 1-0. Doesn't need to be that creative or capable, wasn't a hard pass. The player even called for it. He just flat out ignored the option and shot. It's a lack of intelligence...poor decision making. He's young and he's still going to learn but he likes to shoot from range from the games I've seen him in. And that sort of habit is hard to drill out of players.

Do you mean in an England shirt or this season? Because Henderson's done far more this season than Wilshere has in every season he's had put together Personally my XI would be (bearing in mind I'm just some Scot): Hart; Baines, Cahill, Jagielka, Johnson (nobody else); Milner (to make up for Johnson being ****), Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling; Lallana; Sturridge. Although tbh, take Henderson out and stick in Barry and you have a far better, more balanced side. I can't see England doing well against any creative sorts without a Barry-type figure in there.
