PaulC 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. Yes I think so and with 30 minutes to go with tired legs in that heat then they could make more impact that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 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.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.I guess he's happy with league titles and a 100k a week salaryProbably. But when he looks back on his time in the game, he'll be able to see how he dropped down the England pecking order before reaching his best years.

CardiffGreens Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Uruguay have quite the jolly anthem. Makes a change to not have it being booed over (which'll teach stadium officials not to focus on Luis' mug on the big screens ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think his best position is centre midfield. Never thought he was blessed with great pace for wide positions but in midfield he is certainly quick enough.

penguin Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Small hopeful bet on Costa Rica double chance, I know it was only a friendly but watching Uruguay against Northern Ireland the other week and was not impressed with them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
