England vs Nissan England team to face Japan: David James, Glen Johnson, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole, Theo Walcott, Tom Huddlestone, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, Wayne Rooney, Darren Bent. No Joe Cole I am in complete shock the wee wizard looks to be missing out on the world cup. Some people have shirt memorys. Bent needs to score to have a chance of going, Huddlestone isnt mobile enuff for England i can see nippy MF's turning him inside out
I would rather Parker played in Barry's role than Huddlestone. Think Joe Cole has had it- if you're picking players on current form then you would argurably pick all the other wingers in the squad ahead of him....other than Shaun Shite-Phillips.
Joe Cole is quality in my opinion, just a shame hes been made to rot on the bench at Chelsea. Was one of our best players at last World Cup (I know it was 4 years ago). We need his creativity I reckon.
again not much to report, pretty average performances from all except Stevie G, Cole and Hart who played well. Our MF looks wary of putting the boot in probs cos at club level they have other players that do that, they are finding hard to adjust. Bent didnt get any chances really apart from that header, iv got no idea whos going to go as DMF. worried very worried
