The_Rev Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Just realised we are exactly as far from this song now as the song was from the 1966 quote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Wellbeck gets harshly criticised. He's a good player, he's just a different type of winger/attacker than the ones that get people excited. He's a weird one. His club form means he doesn't deserve a call up, but he's mostly pretty good for England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Welbeck won't start tonight. It'll be Lallana, Sterling and Rooney playing behind Sturridge. Pace and unpredictability against an Italy team who are much more experienced but slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Milner doesn't play centre midfield for Man City so he can't really be an option instead of henderson. The other option is Wilshere really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I hope so but I can see Welbeck instead of Sterling to start with I hope we bring Sterling and Barkley on after an hour as I can see them pair adding an extra dimension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Welbeck will start because he's the safe option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted June 14, 2014 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yeah I can't see Sterling starting myself. To be honest I'd go with Welbeck for this game. Sterling for Uruguay and Costa Rica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other option is Wilshere really.I stand by what I said when he left us. He's ruined his career going to a team that won't play him in centre-mid. If he'd stayed with us, or gone to a team like Liverpool/Spurs, who might have played him in midfield, then he would now be one of England's best centre midfield options, with a view to becoming Gerrards replacement. As it is, he's currently known as being a work-horse winger/ squad filler who doesn't have the tricks of Ox/Sterling/Walcott etc, and who most people would rather not see in the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Yeah I can't see Sterling starting myself. To be honest I'd go with Welbeck for this game. Sterling for Uruguay and Costa RicaI'd say the exact opposite actually. Playing experience against Italy is pointless because they'll always have more. Raw pace and unpredictability is what would unsettle them. Then Welbeck in for Uruguay and Costa Rica to play a more level headed game. IMO of course. I think both have positives, but would personally like to see us really go hard at Italy and unsettle them early.

kurtsimonw Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 He'll go with Wellbeck and Lallana and then bring on Sterling and probably Ox for a bit of pace towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingsombrero Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Buffon is out. Always a worry when he's out but Sirigu is solid enough. No Buffon, but then nobody is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he's happy with league titles and a 100k a week salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
