He sure has had a good game defensively,Whole defence has looked really bad didn't notice much of Rio but the rest looked very uncomfortable at times.

Please some Jap crock King on Sunday! Kthnxbye.

King showed enough tonight to be worth a place in the squad - might not have been his best game ever, but he is class above in many areas.

Thought Carrick had a pretty poor game, and Baines looks a bit of a liability against a decent winger.

Big concern at the minute is Gerrard's form.
He is playing like a pale imitation of what he was a year or two ago.
On form, he is fairly important to England. 3 weeks is a very short time to get his confidence / form back.

^^^^^^

Agree with all of this,However I think once the time comes Gerrard will be on it 100% a think but we'll see.Does Johnson only getting 5 mins mean he definitely doesn't go ?

king is a good player BUt will he be fit for most of the games? I dont think its worth risking

[ChipRich]

Kings hardly a risk..

He:
     A) probs wont start anyway
     B) is hardly a crock (he played 4 games in 11 days at end of the season for Spurs and got better and better during those games)
     C) is the next best CB you could ask for, way ahead of a Carragher, Upson or Dawson.

And even if he is needed to play some part theres a 5/6 day rest period which is plenty of time.

If you can't see this, your either blind or don't really understand the game of football.


The big problem like someone said, is getting our big players to perform, the Gerrards, Lampards and whoever plays on the right wing is going to play a huge part imo.
Did fancy Lennon ahead of Walcott, but with him just coming back from injury and Walcott doing ok yest its got a lot closer. Obv expect both to go, and he might just prefer Walcott because hes got more experience on the International stage.

Girgy. you are clueless. Clueless in a nice way of course, like a ball of fluffy cluelessness driving a white van ogling at breasts, but clueless nonetheless

[Madone]

Walcott has pace but he never seems to be able to get the ball past the 1st man when he crosses! Lennon used to have the same problem but his final ball is sooooo much better than before! Isn't anyone worried that Ferdinand still hasnt played 90 minutes of football this year?

[ACE2M]

Baines doesn't look up to the job. I thought Carragher looked rock solid and was alive to any sort of danger well before anyone else, King and carragher as back up is great in my book, i'd have carragher ahead of terry personally because i despise the scummy twat.

I hope Barry makes it, midfiled looks so much better with him in it.

Lol love him or hate him he is the best we have imo

[Josedinho]

Lennon over Theo for me. I also thought carragher was solid and I'm far from his biggest fan. Gerrard through the middle looked good. Would like to see Gerrard off rooney ahead of a midfield with lennon lampard huddlestone and johnson/cole against japan.
