England Squad

[dorgie]

Jimmy Bullard - IN

 

Michael Owen - OUT

[Sion]

No Crouch again

Nice move Peter

[CarraLegend]

Dreadful decision leaving Owen out, is he really saying Defoe is better? Walcott in again despite doing f*** all I see.

What a weird squad.

 

Crazy to leave Owen out, if he is fit you find a place for him in the squad, especially given the strikers he has favoured.

 

The 4 strikers hes picked have 25 goals between them in international games.

 

I honestly thought Capello would be a real breath of fresh air, picking a squad and team that was HIS but its the same old b******s.

 

Beckham ffs.

You have contradicted yourself there. Maybe Capello is building a team, why include a crock? Fine for him to score in the odd run of games for Newcastle but you wouldn't rely on him.

I'd take both over Owen any day of the week on current form. Owen is nowhere near his previous years. You have to ask when was the last time Owen played like Defoe did this weekend? Owen looks slower than ever.

 

More of a curious decision is leaving out Woodgate (unless he picked up a knock today). I was at Stamford Bridge today and he was f***ing immense. Won everything and didn't put a foot wrong. Strange one if Capello thinks Lescott and Upson are better players.

Walcott doesnt have any form. Apart from looking average as usual. Defoe looks out of his depth with England, then again he isnt the only one but I do think he's easily marshalled and Owen is far more likely to get a goal against a good defence.

Bizarre decision not picking Owen.

Suppose I have but clearly Owen is a superior goal scorer than any of the strikers he has selected while Jimmy Bullard and Beckham are hardly going to be going to the World Cup are they?

 

I fear Capello is just going to huff and puff us through qualification and then we will go out in a blaze of glory in the 2nd round as always!

Did you have to get a second mortgage to pay for the ticket?

Luckily I didn't pay, was taken out by a company I work with. Stuck with the Spurs fans, but more than happy to dish it out to Lampard whenever I got the chance ;-)

 

If only watching us afterwards was as much fun...

Owen has scored two goals recently and he and Rooney are comfortably England's best centre forwards.

He doesn't pick Owen but picks Beckham? Owen guarantees goals especially at international level. Who else can do that for England? No Ashley Young either.
