kippaxwarrior said:Mike D said:Not even on the bench WTF is Capello on, he prefers Jones out of position instead of him. What planet is this man on!!!
Jones just drops the Montengro player should have been a pen, would have loved to have seen that given and scored to rub that ignorant tw*t Capello's nose in it.
Richards is there on merit because hes having a storming season BUT Capello wont play him as he doesnt like him
Sadly,this appears to be the case.Micah is having a great season and its his specialist position.I dont understand it.The sooner the cabbage goes,the better.

Jones failed to impress at right back (like Smalling before him and Glen Johnson before him), Micah will prove himself given the chance.

Re: Is Micah in the England Squad??
as a player you should walk over hot coal's to play for your country,never abandon them.The problem with our player's is they don't think that way and even if some of them do we're just not good enough and that include's the city player's.I actually wanted england to lose at the end so maybe i'm as bad as them(but saying that i was angry as fuck)

how many english player who have played for the rags in the last 10 years have not played for England I cant think of a single one

I rate Jones, but how many of them have had an opportunities right through the England setup that they wouldn't have come close to if they didn't play for them.

Re: Is Micah in the England Squad??
Walcott is the problem.
He doesn't *sigh* "track back".
He loses the ball a lot.
He doesn't use his own movement to create the space for overlaps. So in theory there is almost no point playing someone like Micah behind him.
Capello is playing centre-halves to sweep up his mess.
Montenegro got wise tonight, and just ran at the big cumbersome lump. They also twigged that if they put more than one man over that side, he couldn't do the normal fullback thing of timing a raid forward to take them out of the game.
Even taking the tactical balance out of the equation, Jones could have cost us at least two goals. And I'm sure Micah would have done a much better job of helping out with the last ditch stuff, not to mention clearing far post crosses.
It would be nice to see Jones targeted in the league. Run at his weaker side and test him in the air, I don't think these parts of his game are up to scratch.

Re: Is Micah in the England Squad??
Only saw bits of the game, but almost every Montenegro attack seemed to find Jones wanting. Either he was half way up the pitch, or struggled to show the player on to his weaker foot. We were crying out for an energetic right back tonight to put his body on the line, and to create the space at the back to play it out, Jones offered neither.
For me Capello has to take the blame on this one. Jones has talent but to throw him in tonight in an unfamiliar position, on a night where we were looking to quality for the Euros, in a fairly uncomfortable away fixture... it was a gamble and one that did not pay off, and never looked like doing so. At full back positional sense is everything, as Micah has found out, and if you don't have explosive pace then you are going to be targeted at some point by the opposition. Jones was tonight, and failed the test quite miserably imo.
Also have to point out Capello's bench. For a game like that, where a late rally was very much always on the cards potentially, what a piss poor piece of management that bench was. What's the bloody point of bringing on Downing, Zamora, Welbeck, when you are holding on to lead? Wouldn't another busy midfielder have been a valuable option to turn to in the dying minutes? Seriously, what if Barry or Parker had gotten injured in the second half? Lampard? I think not. How do you not even think of that and have a plan there? Baines on for Walcott, Cole pushed up and Young switches... too obvious?
As for Rooney, you can give a dickhead a mansion and a new syrup but at the end of the day, he's still, evidently, a dickhead.
Lesson learned I hope, Mr Capello, though I doubt it. From what I see most of the country is asking the same questions as we are here anyway, so hopefully Micah won't be overlooked again in favour of playing an inexperienced centre back out of position. I mean, we could even have gone 5 at the back with Micah coming on and Jones shifting in, Montenegro were just pumping the all into the box hoping we would collapse.

Please Capello do not pick Richards for the next game against Switzerland because we need him more.
As a City fan, I'm relieved when Richards doesn't play for England but I don't understand why Capello refuses to pick him. Obviously doesn't rate him but I think he's been excellent this season. To pick Jones, out of position, ahead of him is baffling.
