Saint Garrett

Actually quite like the look of Fabien Johnson for the US yesterday - thought he was decent, no idea who he plays for.

Watching us play with no proper CM in this tournament only makes Cork's exclusion look more weird. Absolutely no idea how he's not been given a chance

It's a nice little improvement - not sure I understand any negativity about it.

A lot of those players who have started don't deserve to play in this game. I'd go with: Hart; Johnson Jones Cahill Shaw; Henderson Barkley; Chamberlain Lallana Sterling; Lambert See absolutely zero benefit in playing Baines, Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney, Sturridge or Welbeck. Lambert deserves a full 90 on the pitch.

A very close 2-1 England I reckon....last 10 minute winner

I do like Welbeck, but it's not an excuse saying he hasn't scored because he plays on the wing. He plays in the same position as JRod and he scored 15? this year?

Reed did mention that they've had applicants from all over Europe who have won trophies etc. Champs league experience.....2+2....?

Bergkamp !?

Cba to read through pages, any news?

Vokes and Ings, both supported saints I believe. Jutkeiwvicz or however you spell it was too. Lallana is an Everton fan for some reason. JWP was a Pompey STH.

Lallana was given MOTM...

Just took off Matuidi and brought on Pogba, Cabaye has already been replaced - unlikely Morgan will get on I'd say.

Gone off injured...lol

I appreciate what he did here. Will probably get no reaction or a small clap from me.

Think we'll beat Italy. Our players would have to perform though. Would be tempted to drop Welbeck for sterling and Rooney for Barkley though.

Lallana and Rooney seem to keep making the similar runs, get Rooney off...!

Anyone mentioned Bendtner? I know he is a bit of a b3llend, but think he could be a decent signing on a free for us...

Reckon you might see Milner in there for Welbeck or Lallana in the Italy game, hopefully not though. Come on Adam! Get yourself a goal lad.

He wasn't even a starter was he? Although I guess e doesn't really fit with Pulis' style. He needs some training but he could be a good signing for someone. I'd take him depending on few and wages. Is he a free transfer?

Sherwood is an absolute embarrassment. No thanks. His style wouldn't suit us either. 2 banks of 4, big man little man up top, wingers, etc. Would be a massive change, when we are desperate for a bit of consistency right now.

Agree. You get some top strikers but also some shockers.

Rickie bought as a Liverpool starter? Can't see it...try already have to fit in Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling, If Rickie would start it would be in the middle of Suarez and Sturridge, and therefore they'd lose Sterling to the bench, I'm pretty sure Rickie has been brought in to add to their England contingent and add to their squad for their extra games they'll have this season.

Sidwell is pretty ****e, wouldn't touch him personally,

So chuffed for him - be great for him to get on the pitch!
