Yes or No, the Euro 2016 squad

[Horneris]

Delph, Townsend and Rashford to get the boot.

Think the Rooney hatred has gone too far now, I actually thought he played well in that AMC role against West Ham (some cracking/clever balls and chipped crosses) but I must have been watching a different game as several people/pundits have said he was poor.

Why does Roy keep picking that dirty little oik Wilshere?

[POWWWWWWWW]

Milner, Henderson, Dier, Drinkwater, Wilshire and Delph are all contesting for 2 spots. Are we going to be using more than 4 of these? Surely more beneficial to keep the game changers, pace players?

they are contesting 4 squad spots, possibly 5

two will play in front of the back 4, two will be needed to back them up.

absolutely essential our decidedly crap centre back options are protected as well as possible, which to me means dier +1 starts

possibly 3 behind the two starters if you think milner might be needed elsewhere or dier at cb

delph i think is the most likely to be left behind

which if any of the other 5 does is probably the toughest call he has to make

[POWWWWWWWW]

I'd for sure keep Milner, Dier, Drinkwater and Wilshire. Don't rate Henderson and Delph at all and would much rather take another defender than either of them and reshuffle.

Wiltshire starting today, what a joke

[pleno1]

Looks like 4-4-2?  Alli right wing?

[Sportshead]

More likely a front 3 with Vardy pulling wide I imagine

[teddybloat]

Wiltshire starting today, what a joke

is it though?

he's far and away our most talented midfielder. bossed the qualifiers and is a game changer when fit.

all his injuries have been impact injuries so there's no underlying weakness in him physically.

he is desperately short of matches though. so given he is included in the squad and would be the one of the first names on the team sheet when fully fit it would be a joke if he didnt start today - ditto the other two warm up games.

the only way of getting him match fit is to play him in matches.

[pleno1]

maybe I'm being biased, but thought Wilshire was shockingly bad today, did absolutely nothing. Alli different league

[pleno1]

Walker different class too, his recovery speed is just crazy. Must be horrible to play against.

[Sportshead]

Wilshere played 65mins which is good for the lad
It's the longest he has been without a cigarette for 2 years

[DungBeetle]

Wiltshire starting today, what a joke

I think once Roy has made the stupid decision to include an injury prone player who has played 2 matches all season, he is pretty much forced to start him in all the warm up games in a vain attempt to get him up to match fitness.  So the warm up games have to revolve round Wilshire rather than developing the team as a whole, which shows what a daft decision it is to even consider him in the first place.

Amazing isn't it?  If he is the new gazza why have none of the big 8/10 teams who are bigger than Arsenal globally tried to sign him during his career?  The reason is obvious.  Arsenal is his peak level.  The same as Theo/Ox and numerous other English over hyped 'talent'.

Obviously the other two are not big drinkers/smokers either like Wiltshire either.  Just makes his case even tougher to take seriously.

[pleno1]

exactly, I'm not sure he even gets in first 11 for Arsenal when everybody fit.


Coquelin, Carzola, Ozil, Ramsey, Sanchez.

Thought Stones looked good today btw. Do you guys think it will be him or Cahill partnering Smalling?
