Re: England vs Holland, KO 8pmRichards is better than johnson and should be first choice with walker as second since he's young and good, baines should get some more playing time but ashley cole should still be first choice. I agree with you with crouch, he has a good goalscoring record for england, I don't want to see 'no goals or assists in the premier league' downing in the first 11 and welbeck should be on the bench, sturridge is better but isn't as consistant.(Original post by Jim-Jam)
Pearce selected 3 RB's, two of which have been sent home, he selected Tom 'Zidane' Cleverley, who's been sent home, as have bent and Rooney. And he's called up nobody.
So we have Hart, Gerrard, Parker, Cole, Welbeck (ZOMG RONALDO), Sturridge and ...Campbell???? (WHUT) to win it for us.
Might not happen.
Should be good to see the mighty Dirk playing though.
Well looking forward to it tbh, no Lampard or Terry in the squad, just a shame Johnson went home (Richards may take the RB spot) and there's not one established striker there. Get Crouch in ffs. -

Leaks from the Three Lions camp suggest Pearce will try this 4-3-2-1 formation: Hart, Richards, Smalling, Cahill, Baines; Gerrard, Parker, Barry; A Johnson, Young; Welbeck.
Everton's Leighton Baines plays at left back ahead of the long-term incumbent, Ashley Cole, while Welbeck's nod means there is no room in the starting XI for Cole's Chelsea team-mate Daniel Sturridge.
Pearce also gives controversial starts to Gary Cahill, lacking form since his big move to Stamford Bridge, and Adam Johnson, who has been unconvincing recently for Manchester City.
Johnson's City team-mate Micah Richards makes his first England start since Steve McClaren was in charge.
Okay so, apparently thats the formation.
Quite a good one imo, given what we have available and perhaps the testing out of different playersLast edited by Tommyjw; 29-02-2012 at 18:23. -

Re: England vs Holland, KO 8pmHenderson is average. Josh Mceachran is a great passer, but I would only give him 20 mins at this level because of his poor defending/strength- basically what he gets at Swansea. Gibbs is decent enough to play, so is Oxalade, will be interesting watching Richards tonight I reckon. 2-1 either way....(Original post by jam277)
If we lose tonight, everyone will be calling for lampard to come back into the side or they'll say they should have used more of the youth like henderson... I don't know why everyone slates lampard so much
I don't get how our country is so terrible, anyway, if henderson gets into the euros, I will get josh mceachran, martin kelly and kieran gibbs while we're also at it.

4-0 to England if Heskey is playing
4-0 to Holland if Heskey isn't playing
Heskey jokes were never funny

Re: England vs Holland, KO 8pmWhat annoys me is the English attitude of patient possession being a bad thing. For example, the commentators just said 'even if that means being patient and going backwards', and that's an attitude I hear a lot as a coach. Being patient and going backwards shouldn't be seen as a sometimes-necessary evil; it should be seen as the best way to create opportunities by dragging people out of position, waiting for movement and opportunities - rather than doing what English teams typically do, and try and force a hole in the oppositions defence where there is none.
