Isa Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 By England standards, you can't begrude him a call up I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 not many England players playing regularly for top 7 team at moment im sure will be same people moaning when Cleverley played for England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 maybe not them but he was destroyed by Sweden granted they had Zlatan but rest of team are average and play a style that he should thrive against, lot of "fodder" European teams have improved a lot in recent teams and are a lot more technical and this is a weakness. If England was in a group with Ireland or a Scandinavian or other UK team then I would use Shawcross Dude, where do you think Sweden is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I think Mason is a decent player. When they played Arsenal I thought he was outstanding. We've had far worse players in the squad before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's confusing logic that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Now Sturridge out! I guess they're all genuine injuries but it must be very tough being an England manager when players keep pulling out. They will all want to be picked for the euro's finals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Ryan Mason. And people ask me why I don't care about the English national team... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 lallana went off at half time yesterday so id guess thats legit, sturridge probably just took advice from gerrard on how to miss international weekends and get away with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well Kane should be starting now so that is in a funny way probably a convenient injury for Woy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I dunno, it'll be Rooney up top, sterling right, welbeck left, not seen enough of kind to know if he can play wide, Rooney will play centre, really hope we don't go 4-4-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Ryan Mason make Robbie Savage and Jody Morris look like cultured footballers Absolute dross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 If Jack **** Colback was called up, Mason definitely shouldn't be begrudged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 IM sure Spurs fans are saying why is Delph called up when he has been fighting relegation for 4 years while Mason is a started for a top 7 team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I heard a lot of adverse comments when Delph was first picked for England. Even well known English commentators saying they switched the tv over when he came on in his first game. We're not spoilt for choices in midfield and Mason was next in line.

villalad21 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Do you honestly think Delph has a chance in potentially starting? I think it depends on the formation, if we go for 4-2-3-1 Henderson - Carrick will probably be preferred? in a 4-3-3 formation though, i could easily see Delph starting.

villa4europe Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 i hope he starts, purely based on his previous performances where he looked very good, said before in the thread the switzerland game which on paper is our hardest group game and we absolutely dominated it, the remainder of the group stage and build up to the euros should be based around a similar line up and formation englands problem is and always has been that no matter how good we were last time out the manager will completely disregard that performance if it means he can shoe horn another big name in the team if we go with 2 in midfield and 1 of them is carrick then you can forget it straight away, shows me Roy has learnt absolutely **** all from a disastrous world cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 IM sure Spurs fans are saying why is Delph called up when he has been fighting relegation for 4 years while Mason is a started for a top 7 team That's the crux really. If Delph constitutes an England quality player nowadays, then the likes of Mason should be too. They are pretty similar players it should be added. If England were a top international team, half the current squad wouldn't be anywhere near but the reality is that there is an increasing pool of relatively decent English players as opposed to great/good ones.
