Your squad for the EUROs - Page 2

Hart, Foster, Green/whoever

Walker, Jones, Smalling, Lescott, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Baines

Carrick, Parker, Gerrard, Milner, Young, Walcott, Lampard, Johnson

Rooney, Welbeck, Sturridge, Carroll

Time to be controversial. No idea how you can take Gerrard. No idea how you can take Jones unless Cahill isn't fit. Obviously can't take Bent.

Keepers: Hart, Stockdale, Ruddy

Defenders: Walker, Richards, Cahill, Terry, Lescott, Smalling, Cole, Baines

Central mids: Carrick, Parker, Lampard, Barry, Milner

Wingers: Young, Walcott, A.Johnson

Strikers: Rooney, Sturridge, Carroll, Welbeck



I know that goes against my Sturridge on the wings rant but I feel with two midfielders who can drop back into help Walker/Sturridge we'd be ok with that much attack down the wings.

Who would you guys put as captain/vice captain?

I think Gerrard would make a good captain and richards a good vice captain.

Ireland

Given, Westwood, Randolph

Kelly, Dunne, O'Shea, Ward, St. Ledger, Clark, Foley

McClean, Duff, Gibson, Andrews, Whelan, Fahey, McGeady, McCarthy, Ireland

Keane, Doyle, Long, Walters




Back up keepers are pretty thin in terms of quality... but hopefully won't need them.

Dunne and O'Shea are a deadly CB partnership, compliment eachother well. Kelly for consistency and a bit of playing experience from Fulham, as well as experience with linking up with Duff on the right together. Ward at LB for want of a better option really... It's a shame Harte has only reappeared so late. Subs are all decent performers and have always done well for Ireland when called on. O'Dea just missing out.

Hunt is out, McClean is in. Most in form Irish player going at the moment. Uninspiring is the only word for our CM options... but it's all we have. However in AMF, we do have a choice between McCarthy and S.Ireland. S.Ireland may be controversial, but if it keeps Paul Green out of the squad, I'll do it everytime. S.Ireland can be forgiven for being a wanker before. If he wants to play, he has the talent to get ahead of the other competition. McGeady is a great option to come off the bench with direct running at tired defenses.

Forwards pick themselves. No room for Cox, as Long will just keep him out of this side as well.

Tactics wise, same as what we're doing now really. Andrews and Gibson pick the ball up from defense, spray out to the wings, for full backs overlapping. Both wingers can cut inside and find the strikers. McCarthy/Ireland/Fahey can come on for a striker for a more defensive approach and pack the midfield.

Any chance of Cunningham making the squad?

quote Star of Spurs

Don't rate Welbeck.

So much so that you wouldn't even take him? He's quick, a pretty decent finisher and can head the ball as well.

Joe Hart, Paul Robinson (has he retired for international football?), Robert Green

Kyle Walker, Micah Richards, John Terry, Gary Cahill, Joeleon Lescott, Chris Smalling, Ashley Cole, Leighton Baines

Theo Walcott, Aaron Lennon, Adam Johnson, Steven Gerrard, Michael Carrick, James Milner, Gareth Barry, Ashley Young

Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Daniel Sturridge, Peter Crouch



Barry has to have a player who can do the dominating job beside him to properly work (Yaya) and England don't really have that but he's decent off to bench to hold onto a leader.

Thought about Sturridge right wing but thought it'd be better with the familiar Spurs pairing of Lennon and Walker.

Gerrard would have to be dropped once Rooney's back.

Think one thing England lack is familiarity with each other (Every Spain player is Barca/Madrid and a lot of Germans play for Munich or Dortmund) but with Terry/Cahill, Lennon/Walker, Young/Welbeck/Rooney I reckon they could do slightly better than usual...cue a group stage elimination.

Joe Hart, Ben Foster, David Stockdale

Micah Richards, Chris Smalling, John Terry, Gary Cahill, Joleon Lescott, Ashley Cole, Leighton Baines

Scott Parker, Michael Carrick, Gareth Barry, Frank Lampard, James Milner

Adam Johnson, Theo Walcott, Aaron Lennon, Ashley Young

Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Andy Carroll, Danny Sturridge (Darren Bent if fit)



Drop Milner when Rooney comes back.

Who would you guys put as captain/vice captain?

Terry captain, Cahill vice. If we're sticking with Terry nowhere near captaincy, Hart and Cahill.

Why is Cahill your vice but then if Terry isn't captain is he still your vice? Unless you mean Hart's your vice but it doesn't lok that way.
