JRM Posted 3 September, 2013 Share Posted 3 September, 2013 Sturridge will play Friday. Just because they are not training today doesn't mean they won't train sometime this week. I think it's quite likely sturridge will be saved for the tougher fixture away to Ukraine on the following Tuesday. Lambert and Welbeck up front for England would be decent.

VectisSaint Posted 3 September, 2013 Share Posted 3 September, 2013 Henry Winter @henrywinter 3m No Defoe, Caulker, Wilshere, Sturridge at #eng training Looks like Lambert might be carrying the hopes of the Nation in the next few days. And the problem with this is Mr Winter? Right man right place. Better than pinning your hopes on some other English "strikers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted 3 September, 2013 Share Posted 3 September, 2013 To be honest, other than the Scotland game - Rickie has had a slow start to the season for me. doesnt matter the england team is littered with players who are crap for their clubs. as long as he does well again (if he comes on) in the next week. he could not score again this season and still get called up oh, that is only the case for Man United players, isnt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 3 September, 2013 Share Posted 3 September, 2013 Will Rickie be the only 6 foot+ striker fit enough to lead the line ...or will it be one of Woy's experimental strike formations with midgets who can run fast ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in other words, the best way to lose his England squad place. His best bet is to keep delivering for us. Anyway, once some injuries clear up, Rickie will be out; its simply bowing to the inevitable.

Giordano Posted 5 September, 2013 Share Posted 5 September, 2013 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/sep/05/daniel-sturridge-injured-england-qualifiers Looks increasingly likely Rickie will get some playing time against Moldova..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucks Saint Posted 5 September, 2013 Share Posted 5 September, 2013 Could be a great opportunity to fill his boots (v Modolva). Assume Sturridge will be back for the much trickier game next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted 5 September, 2013 Share Posted 5 September, 2013 (edited) I personally think the chances are higher than for the Scotland match that he will start. First of all the obvious- No Sturridge. No Rooney. Secondly Roy tends to play two strikers - hence Rooney and Welbeck started last match with Theo in there too as a added attacking threat. I dont see us playing just one striker at home to moldova either...Rooney was kind of allowed to drift wherever he liked as number 10 whereas Welbeck played more conventionally as a striker. As a replacement for "drift wherever you like up front" I think SRL is better than Defoe or Oxo because he has Teddy Sheringham-style awareness and technical ability to hold ball and bring others into play from wherever he is. Oxo is more direct wing play and Defoe is just a goal poacher rather than play-maker - so out of the players available id say SRL and wellbeck should be the starting forward line. If Roy is feeling bold / stupid / cowardly it will be Welbeck OXO or Welbeck Defoe but i rather hope he would like us to retain possession high up the pitch and bring the Wiltshires, Gerrards etc into play edge of the box to score - and that's Rickie- unless he scores himself of course which if he starts then he has got a great chance that he should...the other option is to push Theo forward with Well;beck of course and start Oxo- but i think that makes us a bit lightweight myself - and Oxo as good as he is going forward can still be a defensive liability if dispossessed in a difficult part of the pitch...

BotleySaint Posted 5 September, 2013 Share Posted 5 September, 2013 I expect England to play Wellbeck up front with a 5 man midfield. He may get on toward the end if that approach doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 5 September, 2013 Share Posted 5 September, 2013 I expect England to play Wellbeck up front with a 5 man midfield. He may get on toward the end if that approach doesn't work. That might be the way we go in Kiev next week but there's nothing to suggest we'll do that at home against one of the group minnows. We won 5-0 in Chisinau a year ago, and were 3-0 up inside half an hour so it's not as if we're afraid to attack. I'd expect something like this tomorrow night: Hart Walker - Jagielka - Cahill - Cole Gerrard - Wilshere Lampard/Cleverley Walcott - Lambert - Welbeck Fully expected Lambert to be on the bench originally, but now Sturridge is out there's no reason for him not to start IMO.

It's cheaper to buy 2 adults and a child ticket then 2 adults in a different section. It always throws up an error if you just try to get 2 adult tickets in the family end. 2 x Adults + 1 x Child = £50 1 x Adult on their own = £55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince Posted 5 September, 2013 Share Posted 5 September, 2013 Tickets bought. First England game I've been to since this one: Hopefully Lambert will score and I'll be going just as batshlt crazy tomorrow as I did then. In the youth module I did recently, they showed clips of Beckham practicing free kicks the day before this game - he stayed behind for two hours, taking free kick after free kick. They interlaced the practice kicks with the 13(!!) real ones he took in that game, showing similar "style" ones, until the eventual one that he scored from, which someone else tried to take off him, but he waved them away. The point of the video was to show the dedication and confidence he had in himself to keep on taking the kicks even after missing the previous 12.
