QUOTE=Batman;1809457]just watching smalling again on telly he really is bang average at RB if clyne does not get a look in during the round of friendlies and smalling is picked. it will certainly be on who they play for and nothing on form/ability oh, cleverly is not even playing (again) Agreed. Centre backs as full backs just doesn't work anymore. The game has moved on.

heaven forbid they are as bad as the bournemouth to glasgow success stories

Yes. Keep up

what is road tax?

His form for us needs to pick up a bit but he is decent cover for Rooney and at this point I think he has every chance of going to Brazil. Carroll just doesn't fit the system that England have adopted in recent games.

I know it's early days for Sturridge but he hasn't overly impressed me in an England shirt, there are semblances of a relationship developing with Rooney though.

Gibbs came in for Cole and Sterling for Cleverly. Seems a shame that England played a formation on Friday where we were effective and have plenty of cover for the respective positions. Jones or Smalling are not suitable replacements for an attacking right back.

And they are 25th (I think) in the fifa rankings

That makes sense but then you'd have to question the original squad only having one right back. The right side will be nowhere near as effective tonight as it was on Friday.

Surprised to find that Nathaniel has not been called into the full squad for the game tonight. He's not carrying an injury is he? Apologies if this has been done elsewhere.

haha I thought it was going to be a match report from Sunday's game at White Hart Lane.

Why was your response necessary? Why is anything necessary?? It's a forum, grow up.

Is this fo real? It is pleasing to see Jose step up on his performances from last season. At his best he is a class act. I'd be happy to see him hook up with the Portuguese squad.

Spurs became title contenders as much by circumstance than by team / squad improvements. A lot of changes for the top 3 teams of last season, some will work, some wont. Spurs on the whole have invested wisely over the last 2 to 3 years and look very good now to break into the top 4. I would lay them all day to win the league though.

Text book thread this. Colin you've been here long enough not to expect the usual suspects to be able to read and comprehend a simple opening gambit. The positions that I think we have sufficient quality as starting and cover to compete for a top 4 position are defensive midfield and striker.

For all the "advice" he's received from sections of our fans I don't blame SKP at all for his reaction. Top pro.

If it helps you Clyne and Shaw will be bombing past Victor.

Because they played Saturday and we were up against League 1 oppo in a competition that would be good to progress in but not the end of the world if we exited from it.

Calm down dear. Ditching is a bit dramatic. My formation and selection is for the Palace game only. I don't think we need 2 DM's for this game and I think Victor is the unit to play in front of the 2 CB's.

Not sure we need to play the 2 DM's for this game, 1 should be enough. I'd go with a 4-1-3-2. Holy Clyne Lovren Fonte Shaw Victor Lallana Ramirez Jay Dani Rickie

England's front 4 of Sturridge, Wellbeck, Theo and Rooney doesn't look too bad at the moment. Wilshere and Gerrard behind is not too shabby either. If we do make it to Rio I wonder how many of those 6 will be fit enough to get on the plane? Adam is probably competing with Milner for a place in the squad, if that is the case then it had to be Adam. I admire Milners work rate but Adam offers more.

I disagree. When Rooney is not available Lambert is the perfect replacement. He's not in the same class as Wayne but he disrupts the system less when he steps in for Rooney. I also think suggesting things will turn sour is unfair. Tonight's game could be a very tight one, a game that you often see Rooney becomming frustrated in and having a poor game.

I presume thieving covers tax dodging?

I always admired Jason Ewell. Was subjected to some unnecessary advise from the stands because he was a"big" earner during lean times for us. It was just as well he was practically deaf given the crap he had to put up with at times.
