euroboy posted:It's a amazing that a football superpower like england only has one competent goalkeeper I'm not actually sure which one you're referring to here. We've got quite a lot of second rate keepers tbh, provided the Big Two don't die horribly it's not a big deal. Foster, Ruddy, Carson are all good enough to be in the squad and not embarrass us. Younger players we've got a few who are rated reasonably but aren't playing top flight yet. Rudd, Butland, Steele, McCarthy. Hell I'd go with Forster over Hart. Everyone knows Forster becomes magic as soon as he realises people might actually watch. Blue Screen Error posted:Zaha and Townsend are only in contention in Michael Owen's mind Townsend will go and I'll tell everyone I'm Irish and bitch about terry henry. euroboy posted:Hodgson should unironically give Ricky Lambert a place On The Plane. He's our second best striker and that's not even a bad thing, he's adapted to the league wonderfully. He won't go because sometimes he plays nice passes and he's not allowed to do that as a Big Lad so it'll be Carroll or Crouchy if Andy's drunk again.

I know southampton fans here and the token one I know in real life have been arguing that he's inconsistent and his finishing needs a lot of work as an argument against him, but then you remember the alternative is Townsend so he'd better loving start.

Byolante posted:I know Gerrard has had this resurgence as a holding mid at Liverpool under rodgers but I am absolutely certain the moment he pulls on an England shirt he will be holywood look at me england gerrard. Carrick is beyond gash this year though. If Gerrard is dropped and his replacement isn't Noble it's objectively wrong, the lad has been dominant for two years in a fairly poo poo side and probably does the Gerrard role better than Gerrard. He has the passing range and is more mobile with better tackling these days. He's also a great set piece taker. I'd have Gerrard over him in the starting lineup because of the link with the rest of the Liverpool And Friends XI, not form. Barry would be next. Then you're looking at Thudd and then Cork if he stays in form and fit. Carrick wouldn't even get in the England B squad right now. AJ and Davies are good shouts for a squad callup too but noooooobody cares.

Byolante posted:It would be better if West Ham got relegated due to them not getting a points deduction. I'm pretty sure Sunderland aren't going to relegate us but it would be some funny poo poo to be sure

T Fowl posted:They'll have a sell back clause I'd imagine for 1-2 seasons if they actually do off load him. See what he does, pay a bit more to get him back. Most clubs will be willing to work with that who'd be in for him i'd imagine. I love that people seem to think Chelsea have enough money to completely poo poo on Lukaku by playing loving Torres, get rid, and then assume they can snap their fingers and he'll come back no questions asked. I do not love that Chelsea think this too and it's almost entirely true, with the only question being "how much?"

Thirteenth Step posted:I can't understand why neutrals want the oil clubs to win the league over Liverpool. Liverpool are easily the most likeable of the title contenders. Liverpools owners let the CIA use their planes to ferry around kidnapees between torture sites so any moral argument is a bit silly. Also because nobody cares. I'm willing to let 2006 go for just this once so everyone else can just deal with it imo. It'll be painful seeing Gerrard win something but tolerable. John Terry winning anything is never tolerable.

aeverous posted:I remember loads of dudes predicting that Stevie G one of the most complete players of his generation would be a liability this season because he can't run as much anymore. Lets not be retarded, Gerrard was a complete attacking player but there's a reason he was never used much in CM, he suffers the same "run around everywhere" problem Rooney has always had. That he's finally got over this and learnt to conserve his energy right when he needed it is a testament to Rodgers coaching. He looked exhausted at the end of last season and he's always played a draining game full of sprinting and runs. It's a surprise he's found a way to be useful, as not that many players actually adapt their game as much as he has.

the only thing they had to do was make it clear they wanted Clemgren to him as soon as interest in Kebab was announced and blag that they were only waiting because they couldnt afford him and of course they'd prefer him to Cabaye, which I assume every club ever would do because footballers are whiny egotistical children. Instead they slighted him and now don't have a single midfielder capable of passing more than 10m along the floor, while also giving every club in Europe six months to figure this out and charge them a premium in the summer. It was utterly shambolic and Newcastle fans have every right to be furious about it.

Spiffeh posted:pretty sure Nolan's injured tonight which means Allardyce might actually play someone useful instead (he won't though he'll play Matty Taylor or another of his poo poo mates in his place instead) It'd be nice if we had Ravel. As it is, with Moncur gone too, the best we can hope for is Noble/Diame/Nocerino. In fact that's literally the only option that doesn't involve Joe Cole or Alou Diarra.

mynameisjohn posted:hes come on as a sub a few times and looked fine He's better than our other midfielders but that's what I meant by "hasn't played". He's easily good enough to start, and he isn't starting. Because he's not Matt Taylor. Also yeah this ties in to the Ravel thing: anyone that thinks Big Sam isn't being a dodgy oval office should pay attention to the utter poo poo with his agent that keep getting starts. Ziggy Tzardust posted:Although considering Diame did an interview yesterday explicitly saying that he wants to leave, I doubt he'll start today. Haha whaaaaaaaaaaaaat, I've missed this. I don't really care because he can't pass for poo poo but I don't have any faith in replacing him well.

serious gaylord posted:While Moyes is changing his team a lot, the obsession with the 'best 11' is a bit weird. You pick the best 11 players you have for that opposition. You wouldn't pick the same team you used against West Ham that has 5 attacking players to start against City/Chelsea, but not doing that is bad? I dont get it. I thought it was actually that many different lineups, which would be utterly insane. Rotating this many matches is totally normal yeah, all the top clubs do it because of the reasons you mentioned + actually having squad depth.

Curbishley got his full contract paid out after resigning, because the chairman signed actually good players and it made Curbishley's utter dross players upset. Moyes could walk and get the full contract right now, the club haven't done nearly enough to combat this in the press. Spangly A fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Apr 21, 2014 |

Seems like all the non-united fans predict them finishing 3rd-7th. Very few people have been surprised by the decline, just that they got this shite this fast.

 When you walk through the storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of the storm There's a golden sky And the sweet silver song of the lark Walk on, through the wind Walk on, through the rain Though your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone.
