Wallcott but no Owen?!?

[Eric Cantona]

Owen ain't fit.

Walcott is the future.

Personally i would of had Owen still.

I would of not had Defoe or Heskey either.

glad he's picking a player whos a grafter & not a prima donna

[Xtra P]

Im an Arsenal fan & I have faith that Wallcott will become a great player but he aint ready yet, he definetly aint got shit on Owen, Owen is one of them players that apear in the right place at the right time, he's garanteed to score goals

[Eric Cantona]

Yeh i agree, doubt Walcott will start but would be good game to play him against Andorra.

We need more players like Chris Powell in the England team

jimmy bullard is good a lot better than Jenas plus hes got good set piece delivery i stilll shake my head everytime Beckham is picked he simply aint good enough and hasn't got the legs doesn't deliver set pieces as consistent as before

Bullard is a good player. Deserves his call-up. Even as a Spurs fan, I'd rather see him play than Jenas.

No Owen, or at least Ashton, is baffling. 4 goal a season Heskey will be a real goal threat I'm sure.

People still haven't realised that England aren't as good as people in this country think they are?

Brazil
Argentina
Spain
France
Germany
Holland
Portugal
Italy

The above 8 teams are better than England. There are a few others that are debateable (e.g. Croatia) but the above are unquestionable. So England getting to the QF in the World Cup is an acheivement as they shouldn't really get that far. England getting to QF in Euro 04 is about as far as they should have gone. Failure to qualify for Euro 08 was a mixture of bad management by McLaren and poor performances and arrogance by the squad.

Capello is making do with what he's got.

Capello is nothing different to McClaren in my eyes. Done nothing different apart from starve the cunts.
The team are not even playing any different to what they was. About a whole new plan, biggest dickhead.
Should definitely have Owen in the team without a doubt hes got the best record and bangs in goals whenever the circumstances.
Should of started Ashley Young, Abonglohoar and Walcott in the friendlys.

Capello has fucked up already in my eyes.

For me, when Hargreaves is fit there's no one better in our midfield. Bullard is a good player to have in the squad though.

Dunno how Micah Richards has been dropped for Wes Brown. Richards was one of the things McClaren did right. Especially if Capello insists on playing Beckham, England need someone who can do the running Beckham can't. Young should be in the squad no doubt, he's been a lot since Watford days. I'd take Owen over any other stiker, including Rooney as well, you know who'll score you goals at the end of it.

Eriksson wasn’t that bad after all it seems

Erikkson was never a bad manager. England lost one qualifier under his spell and got to two quarter-finals which quite frankly were as far as England should have gone in both competitions. If you say anything otherwise then you are either a liar or deluded. Simple as.

Other (relatively minor) gripes aside, his only real problem was the stupid expectation of the English fans and press. When you have pundits in Europe mainland, North/South American, African and Asian countries, on their respective ITV/BBC channels talking about the ridiculous expectation on the England national team within England (when doing their tournament previews) then you've got to start thinking about whether the expectation is too much. Clearly it is. Some of the "Capello is a donut" comments on this forum prove that.

I was always a strong supporter of Ericsson. I was in a minority at the time but I don't seem to be now. The grass isn't always greener...

Disagree. You are being niave.

Eriksson had Daivd Beckham, Michael Owen, Emile Heskey (whatever you think of him, he and Owen upfront were very efffective), Sol Campbell, David Seaman and Paul Scholes at the top of their games.

Beckham is on his way down. Will always do the job with set peices though.
Owen is never fit. Heskey *shrug* and only Rooney is up on the level those two used to be.

Scholes in his prime >>>> Lampard in his prime

Sol Campbell in his prime >>> Terry in his prime (controversial view but Terry's lack of pace always gets exposed at Champions League and internatioanl level football. Campbell was a rock back in the day and was first choice for England between 1997-2005 and was the only English player to make the 2002 World Cup XI)

David Seaman hasn't been replaced yet imo.

Capello has less in terms of tools to work with. The England team now is not as good as it was in 2003. Thus if he doesn't do as well as Sven, then it's not simply a case of him being a worse manager than Eriksson.

Very good points although I still believe England have the players to do well, its just a matter of picking the right players for the right postions & having the courage to drop big names in order to achieve balance, Capello seems to still be doing all the things thats wrong with england, putting Gerrard on the left was a strange decision friendly or not.

Edit: He didn't pick Owen even though he's englands best goal scorer, all signs of a donut IMO but ill admit I was wrong about him if it all works out & I don't mean if we beat Andora lol

At the end of the day I think it boils down to these things:


Is Capello sticking with 4-4-2 becuase he feels it's the best formation or because he feels that English players don't have the tactical awareness/maturity to play other formations well? My feeling that it's probably the latter reason.


Is Capello going to drop three from Gerrard, Lampard, Hargreaves, Barry and Joe Cole to play in central midfield? In my eyes Joe Cole would be most effective through the middle behind the top two, but I can see why either he or Barry (when Hargreaves is fit) would be put on the left hand side. Hargreaves would be my first choice/untouchable in central midfield and I would drop Lamps over Gerrard. With that in mind, personally I would want to experiment with the following combinations:

- Barry, Hargreaves, Gerrard, Joe Cole
- Joe Cole, Hargreaves, Barry, Gerrard
- Barry, Hargreaves, Joe Cole, Gerrard
- Joe Cole/Barry, Hargreaves, Gerrard and random RMs (Bentley, Beckham etc.)

Is Capello going to consider playing the "less now for potentially more later" game. Joe Hart, Ashley Young and Agbonlahor could be played in England's sarting 11 now, but undoutedley they would struggle at first and England would lose/draw a few games they shouldn't - leading to media criticsm. Assuming that these players progress over the next 2 years and move to/become CL teams, by the time we get to 2010 they'll be ready and experienced for international football competitions (assuming their inexperience doesn't prevent England form qualifiying) and will be prepared for years to come. Due to the nature of the media in this country, I wouldn't bother with this option but it's an option I guess.

This is what he should do imo. young is ready to start ahead of lesser sides & is arguably our best left winger. Agbonlahor, walcott & johnson should be on the bench i say. They can give us something later in the game when players are tiring.

Low was Klinsmann's assistant, they tried that with McClaren. Maradona came from nowhere, so it's difficult to see the English parallel. Domenech is Domenech. Only Spain and Holland can claim to have an experienced manager really.

Take your point though, problem is there are no English managers in the top jobs.

Manager aside, how the fuck can 11 professional footballers just forget how to pass a ball sideways 5 yards? The first thing you're told when you start being coached is pass and move, England could do neither - passing was swag and no one showed for the ball.
