Arsene Wenger saying Carrick could play for Barcelona and proved statistically correct and Xabi Alonso saying Carrick could play for Spain but only has 1 international tournament appearance to his name, the same as Luke Shaw

I did say in 2012 that Hodgson loves Liverpool and Spurs players and will pick them no matter what the situation is cough cough Jack Wilshere.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
what does wenger know about anything other than finishing fourth and getting 8m a year for abject averages

there is a reason why he only has 1 tournament to his name

Only 3 centre backs? Dier as a 4th I guess?

Wenger 3rd and 2nd last 2 seasons. Knowing Wenger he probably will finish 5th next season and win the CL to get his 4th place trophy afterall 3+2=5.

So Hafi claims that rooney is the only player in the squad to have won the CL, and then says that:
"I did say in 2012 that Hodgson loves Liverpool and Spurs players and will pick them no matter what the situation is cough cough Jack Wilshere."

And people still take him seriously? I see he's dropped his claim that roy hates united and so won't take rashford.

AW clearly knows more about football then everyone of us on this site put together.

Rashford is statistically the best striker to go into a tournament with his stats for conversion rate.

http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/2015-16/may/290516-best-forwards-of-the-season-statistics-analysis.html
55.6% in premierleague for Rashford and City fans thin Iheanacho with a 38.4% conversion rate is better <laugh.

Hafi Origi is better than Rashford

Rashford should start with Rooney as the combination between both players is great and adds great creativity.

Origi 29.4% conversion rate vs Rashford 55.6% says he is worse.

Marcus Rashford's last 11 days:
May 21: wins FA Cup
May 27: first England goal
May 30: new Man United contract
May 31: in England Euro squad
..........
This just goes to show how things can go on an amazing upward trajectory. Now imagine if Rashford fires England to Euro 2016. That would be crazy.

Hafi stop derailing the thread or I'll ban you.

Being England manager is not a hard football job. Expectations are so much lower now. International football is a different entity. Living in Germany for years and watching Germany be more successful then England in tournament football time and time again I can see it's not a hard formula to crack. Just needs execution. We keep falling for the trap pf picking the best 11 English players and try to shoe horn them into somewhat of a formation. Germany every 2-4 years pick the best Team. They play players that you think wow he isn't as good as this other player, however they are there because they support the 'world class' players in doing there job. Recent example is Klose. No way the best German striker in club football, top player but others ahead of him, is given a role that Germany needs to employ for the team to work as a unit. They select a team not ohh that player is amazing he needs to play.

I would respect Roy if he would play to a certain style. We stop and change all the time. You need to plan against the big boys of international football. You are always going to beat smaller nations especially now with the easier qualifying format. I would rather us play Longball hoofball to Carroll and be defensively steardy ala Alladyce and Pulis and do well in tourney football then watching England having mammoth holes in their midfield and defence that I could drive a Tank through without hitting anyone. We are never going to keep the ball better then teams like Spain, Italy, Germany, Brazil, France unless they have a really bad day. We need to play to our strength and that is quick counter attack football. But for that to work we need men behind the ball protecting our goal. It isn't pretty football and will be frustrating at times however it will give us better results when facing the big guns in the latter stages of tournament football. Nobody remembers team that do well in qualifications or knockout games. People remember winners and cup finals etc.

brilliant point

Rashford won't get a game.

If he plays Vardy on the wing I'll be seriously concerned.

Henderson one of the worst shooters in football living off a strike against Man City picked. Milner a player who is average in everything he does is picked.

Pace shouldn't be the issue. Even Carrick was the fastest in one match.
