These lineups are really good. I hope we do something like this against Italy. 1966 posts, I'd better not post until after the WC now
I like these lineups too.
I have a bad feeling about this world cup for some reason. I don't think Roy is Brave enough. I don't know why he likes playing Wellbeck out wide. He's not good there at all. He can 'do a job' but he's more of a Central Striker. I feel bad for him stuck out there like Sturridge was back in the day because he's 'athletic' and 'has pace'.
I can totally see this Italy match being boring as hell, ending up 0-0 and Woy reverting back to 4-4-2.
I really hope i'm wrong and i know warm up matches aren't always a good gauge but he hasn't played this variation of the formation yet and I think it seems pretty obvious to most people. This teams basically selects itself but we aren't doing it.
If I see the Italy line up and see Rooney, Welbeck out wide and Milner in the Starting 11, i'm throwing all my toys out the f***** pram!
We have totally capable players but we always play boring systems that never play to our strengths. We have exciting, fast, young players that can actually pass the ball but they are gonna suck this world cup cause we have a boring manager.
Then im gonna have to hear the same old rubbish from pundits about "whats the problem with english football? is it too many foreigners?"
Same old england
