EastEndVillan Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 With Roy Hodgson set to name his 23 man squad for Euro 2012 on 16th May, I thought I'd create a VT England Euro 2012 thread. So, post the squad that you'd take, not the squad that you think Hodgson will take. Here's mine: GK: Joe Hart GK: John Ruddy GK: Rob Green DF: Kyle Walker DF: Micah Richards DF: Ashley Cole DF: Leighton Baines DF: Joleon Lescott DF: John Terry DF: Gary Cahill DF: Phil Jones MD: Scott Parker MD: Steven Gerrard MD: Gareth Barry MD: Ashley Young MD: James Milner MD: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlin MD: Theo Walcott FW: Wayne Rooney FW: Darren Bent FW: Daniel Sturridge FW: Andy Carroll FW: Grant Holt Tin hat on........

Rodders Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hart + 2 randoms, might as well go with Ruddy and Green in the absence of any other contenders LB Cole, Baines CH's Cahill Ferdinand, Jagielka ( is he fit? , Lescott, Jones, RB, Walker, Richards Centre Mids: Parker, Barry, Milner, Carrick Wingers: Walcott, Young, CFs: Rooney, Crouch, Sturridge, Bent, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 No terry, lampard or Gerrard for me. Milner and Sturridge can run the flanks if need be, whilst I'd expect support from Cole or Walker in this sense too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Can't be bothered picking the whole squad so I'll list probable inclusions who I don't want to see: Gerrard, Lampard, Terry and Carroll (I may add to this list). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Agree. Went to the last England game against Holland, Welbeck was abject at best, though was still better than Frazier Cambell by some distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Lampard and Gerrard should be no where near the england side Give youth a chance please..... I do not want to see us revert back to the tortoise and the hare formation that we seen against Germany in the WC and see us get outpaced for 90 mins Barry is slow enough as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Wellbeck reminds me of Darius Vassell the way he plays. I think hes good but not good enough for the international stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not want to see us revert back to the tortoise and the hare formation that we seen against Germany in the WC and see us get outpaced for 90 mins Barry is slow enough as it is They shouldn't be in the same side together, but i think they remain the 2 best CM options available, along with possibly Parker. I'd certainly rather have Lampard on the bench than someone like Barry (for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm really surprised to see lots of Gerrards and few Lampards. Gerrard's not half the players Lampard is anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 anyone who would pick Carroll ahead of crouch is mad.. Have you not seen crouch's England GS record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 For me GK: Joe Hart GK: Ben Foster (would tell him to get out of retirement already, even if just for this tournament!) GK: Scott Carson/whoever DF: Kyle Walker DF: Ashley Cole DF: Leighton Baines DF: Joleon Lescott DF: Rio Ferdinand (leave Terry at home) DF: Gary Cahill DF: Chris Smalling (can cover CB & RB, to save a spot for extra midfielder) MD: Scott Parker MD: Frank Lampard (done much more than Gerrard the last 2 years) MD: Gareth Barry MD: Paul Scholes (a regressive choice but he is fit, on form & all the good young CM options like Wilshere, Cleverley, McEachran are injured/not ready) MD: Ashley Young MD: James Milner MD: Adam Johnson (don't think Ox is quite ready, Johnson good impact player) MD: Theo Walcott MD: Aaron Lennon FW: Wayne Rooney FW: Danny Welbeck (don't think Bent will be fit enough) FW: Daniel Sturridge FW: Andy Carroll (found form at right time) Hart Walker-Ferdinand-Lescott-Cole Parker-Scholes Lennon-Young-Walcott Welbeck Rooney in for Welbeck/Lennon/Walcott when available.

TRS-T Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Carroll over Welbeck? Yep, Welbeck is hugely over-rated imo. Carroll has scored 4 league goals all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 10, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2012 But Carroll's hitting form, and he's a hugely different option that Wellbeck. Wellbeck is just a less good sturridge or Defoe. Carroll would give us a different option, which is key. Carroll or Crouch have to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
