Mantis Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Carroll is shit. I don't even know why he's in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I fancy a 1-1 against one of those sides we have problems in beating. But then I fancy us to do Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 15, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2012 Be disappointed if we go 4-4-2 in this game. With players like Young, Ox, Walcott and Downing i'd rather have he extra midfielder. Would be more effective than playing Carroll and Wellbeck. 4-2-3-1 is always seen as a negative formation but it can be very attackive*** if played correctly. *** Is attackive even a word? Looks odd.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Would rather Defoe start instead of Carroll, much better striker and scores a lot more goals, if we insist on playing with two up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 It will be another draw tonight, we as villa fans should know that is the most likely result when these type of negative safety first tactics are used. Hodgson will fall back on them tonight just like mcleish did, can`t handle the pressure so he is trying to lower expectation and play it safe. We will be going long ball, which is why carroll is on instead of defoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Carroll is shit. I don't even know why he's in the squad. Because he plays for a big club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Carroll has been picked because Sweden are dodgy at defending headers. 6 of their last 7 goals conceeded have come from headers and Carroll is the only forward in the England squad who can exploit that.

Pretty much. Carroll will hold up play, create and get the wingers (Welbeck and Young) into the attack. Smart strategy. Outside Olly, I don't rate this Swedish defence highly.

Zatman Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Sweden made a few changes to their team as well bringing in Olsson from WBA so will be stronger in air. Also credit to Ukraine still early days but has been none of the trouble the scaremongering from media anticipated and all issues have been in Poland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The ITV coverage of the Euros is just as good as the BBC. The ITV pundits of Keane, Viera, Strachan, Southgate, Martinez are just as good as the BBC pundits, and are less smug and predictable The adverts breaks are a bit annoying, even for a marketing guru like myself but the actual pre, half and post game analysis is just as good. I know I will be outnumbered with regards to this opinion but I feel there is not much difference. More forthright views too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
