Euro 2012

Klaus

Jesus. Downing and Carroll are included in the squad. And no Carrick.

Captain

How are we going to keep the ball?

At least there is a bit of pace in there this time.

Patters

Sorry to get my Football Manager template out but:

-----------------Hart-----------------

Johnson----Terry------Cahill--------Cole

Walcott-----Parker---Gerrard------Young

-----------------Oxlade----------------

-----------------Rooney---------------

...is the best we can do. Ideally, Carrick in for Parker but he wasn't picked.

Captain

Rooney is out for two games as well.

Klaus

Was Sturridge left out for the benefit of Downing?

Patters

Theo is going to get zero protection from Glen Johnson. Hopefully Scott Parker continues to barge into opponents and the refs are kind.

Captain

Parker may not make it and his standby is Henderson. WTF?

It's stupid that Carrick is completely overlooked. In reality though, if Parker doesn't make it, and England want to play a DM, they'll play Milner there probably. Or, if there's enough media hype, Phil Jones. shudder

Captain

Parker is rubbish anyway. Even given the state of that squad he shouldn't be starting.

If Henderson ends up going (parker injured). Then Liverpool's players might finally be exposed for the shitsters that they are.

Taking Caroll, Henderson and Downing to the Euros is a joke.

banduan

Not having Carrick is a mistake.

Caroll I'd say is worth a punt.

Mirth

I'm speechless.

Stewart Downing and John Terry? No Carrick - most United fans have him down as one of their top three players this year!

Carroll's been okay in recent weeks. Plus England aren't blessed with many great strikers.

And why does Micah Richards always get overlooked? He's exactly the type of fullback Walcott needs behind him.

Sturridge has been shown up in the second half of the season not sure I'd trust him either.

Captain

Richards is a bit hit and miss, but then Johnson has many of the same issues and has underperfromed in comparison. Can't see the sense in taking Jones based upon this season; surely Smalling has outperformed him at right and centre back.

lorddulaarsenal

squad is so bad it may just work!

would have liked lennon there to stretch defences. kick n rush is the way to go!

Mirth

Smalling's injured, I think? But yeah, he's been noticeably better than Jones this year.

Mirth

Confirmed England Euro 2012 stand-by list: Jack Butland, Phil Jagielka, Jordan Henderson, Adam Johnson, Daniel Sturridge

Captain

Yep, you're right, Smalling is out with a groin injury.

Qwiss

I think taking Carroll is the right decision. He's a handful and he's in form now.

Chamberlain and Jones seem to have been taken just because they're seen as the next generation of England stars.

Cannot understand how Downing was picked though. Or how Henderson is on the stand by list.

Don't get me wrong, I've got no love for Sturridge. Never liked him as a player. But he produces something tangible every now and then.
