Today's football.

That's gotta be the worst advert ever and Gerrard should feel ashamed that he's letting his standards slip so much.

Well I would have the majority of that side, well maybe not the defence, in preference to the team the other night. They look livelier, pacier, more "tricky", just fresher. Maybe cos they might be playing a place perhaps, but even so, far better on the eye.

England.

How does anyone summon up the enthusiasm to support that dog's breakfast of mediocre talent?

We don't use as much energy bitching about kenwright and reading RAWK for material as you do mate.

Wilshire spending more time on the deck than a first mate, Milner is no right back and Smalling is bloody atrocious other than that not too shabby, well pretty shabby actually must do better.

Hodgson confirmed he's an idiot with that one.

Have you seen the type of person that frequents England game's?

I think that answers your question

i wouldn't ha. i would be struggling to put him in the squad after the season he's had, because only one of him and lampard should be there and lampard would be the more fresher and has always been the better player with more to offer. i wouldn't pick a player for a WC squad purely because he can take a good set piece - especially not with italy in the group.

playing 5 at the back allows you to go with an exciting middle three of barkley, carrick and lallana of which you could possibly play oxlade-chamberlain behind sturridge or rooney. but that would go against england's famous 4-4-2.

.....don't think Carrick is in this squad is he? I think we need a shield in front of the back four to be honest. Gerrard will have to play that role rather than Lampard.

Probably explains it.

Milner is better than Johnson at right back.

Has to continue to start there imo.

The backs to the wall, braveheart, 3 lions, roar - 4-4-2

I wouldn't have Gerrard either - but he is currently Captain and won't be dropped. I'm liking it though solid players at the back with pace and a bit of creativity in the front half. Would have a chance of playing some good stuff - may lose a bit more often but would also proabably win a few more too - and look better doing it

Adrian Chiles - a nice reminder why I'm glad I don't get to watch ITV often.

None of them are English either. Not really.

 

[Brennan]

Hodgson confirmed he's an idiot with that one.

He's playing okay and is arguably a better option than Johnson.

 

[Hellerad]

If anyone has ever looked like a thumb with a face, that bloke on ITV is him.

 

[toffeejack]

lol how did all the officials miss that hand ball?

 

[Liamliverpool86]

Give me Gerrard ahead of lampard anyday .. Looks finished frank here IMO although it is only a friendly
