England Squad Announced vs Montenegro

[waspish]

jones is close to if not better than joleon and is a certain future england captain wereas lescott has been there before and capello knows what he can offer.

hate the rags but id have chosen jones aswell.

and can ppl stop being so bias,if lescott played for someone else wed all think hes average.

hell be the next player to lose his place when we bring someone in in january/summer or promote savic

We are talking about Lescot instead of Cahill.... What centre back left footed defender has Capello picked today?

 

[goat boy]

I have no empathy at all with capello's thinking. But then i remember, this the english national side, this is the fa, and they probably let someone from their new pals at vauxhall pick the squad.

 

[Damocles]

The only reason he is there is because he plays for a certain club and he is supposedly the New Face of England. He may turn out to be a decent player, who knows, but at this point in time he is no way an England player.

Totally over-hyped. If he was that good why are the likes of Basle and Norwich waltzing through their defence? I'd check stats on how many chances the Rags have had against them if I could be arsed, I bet they are well into double figures per match.

There's no comparison, he's behind Johnny Evans in every single metric. In every single competition. Defensive stats, attacking stats, possession and out of possession movement maps, everything. There is not a single thing this year that Phil Jones has done that is better than Johnny Evans. He's also made more mistakes than Evans, and given the ball away far more whilst leading to several goals.

But he plays for the rags and looks like a gay porn star, so he's a "class act" now.

Fucking cretins, need to get their head out of the paper and watch the actual game.

By definition, can we class Jonny Evans as World Class then?

Pathetic statements about a player who has barely stopped having his arse wiped. Then again, he probably still gets that done for him as well.

I was trying to (in a sort of ranty way) point out that the guy is worse than Johnny Evans. I'll leave the judgement of how good/bad Evans is for another day, but by every single metric this year and last, he is better than Phil Jones.

Hopefully none play. Waste of time playing for England.

Richards likely will get injured also.

Somebody'll come back after getting on at 88 mins with a month's injury. (There, said it, so it won't happen now!)

Ferguson himself is now conscious of the fact he has overhyped Jones. His wild runs, poor and at times desperate tackling technique which makes him prone to injury and bad positional sense are evident and anyone that watches the game knows that.

 

[The game 161]

Proud of Micah, it's about time Mr.Capello.

Joleon should be in there, though.

Yep well deserved.

I know mate. Rant away all you want on these issues, it winds me right up that someone can actually take a view of a player just because he where's the Devil's cloth and makes a few runs up field.

 

[the goats backside]

Is that the worst squad for a long time

 

[TonyM]

I've been watching Cahill a bit, especially since Boyata went to Bolton. He seems a very confident and level headed block but he's in awful form atm. Lescott would be a lot better for England.

I'm happy though that he can have a rest. Wish more City players could.

Wow a lot of childish posts about the rags. So they win the league without any "class players" do they? come off it. I thought Jones should of been in the squad when he was at Blackburn, what pissed me off was the fact he signed for united and went straight into the squad without playing a game for the rags.

Agree Lescott should be in ahead of Cahill. And also agree its pathetic that Walker will start ahead of Micah
