[Football] England versus Honduras unofficial Match Thread

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

England team to play Honduras: Hart; Johnson, Baines, Cahill, Jagielka; Gerrard (c), Henderson, Rooney, Lallana, Sturridge, Welbeck.

Other then Welbeck happy with the lineup. This looks like our starting lineup versus Italy other that Sterling will start in front of Welbeck.

Not too shabby IMO.

I'd be surprised if he does - Roy seems to really rate Welbeck. I think this will be the XI that plays next week

Sterling was due to start tonight before the red but your probably right Hodgson loves Welbeck for reasons I can't fathom. Think we lack a bit of the wings with no Chamberlain/Sterling and that's were we can hurt Italy.

Expect that to be the 11 to start against Italy, although I would prefer Wilshere to Henderson & Sterling instead of Welbeck

Loving the fireworks to try and get the crowd going.

...Hodgson loves Welbeck for reasons I can't fathom.

maybe because he's a very good player? he's a forward in the Heskey mould, one that might not score all the golas but will create many for others and bother defenders. as such i expect to see for the next 10 years similar opinions of people not understanding.

Sterling is excellent but will burn out quickly in Brazil, so i expect to see him coming on for 20-30 minutes to terrorise.

Welbeck to notch with a trademark backheel. Sterling is England's KLL, impact sub to rip them apart for last 30

8 goals in 23 appearances is a clue

Your probably right it's an anti man u bias, he did score a good and match winning goal against Sweden.

Big game for Henderson, he's got the shirt because others have been crap more than he's been good. He needs to make a big contribution tonight.

Is it just me who thinks the camera man has forgotten where the zoom button is?

Like watching a game of Fifa at times

Why is Rooney the FK taker??

We've lost some of the directness from last match.

I'd start Barkley versus Italy.

 

[carteater]

well if we play like this against Honduras with a pretty much full strength team, WERE DEFINITELY LOOSE AGAINST ITALY...

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Great play...less said about the finish the better.

 

[carteater]

Clive tyldesley you got Sturridge and Danny Welbeck CONFUSED, oh the players are being called because of a thunderstorm

 

[Milano]

Wellbeck is limited but being played out of position. Rooney is lost in a fluid formation where he is not the focal point.
Worst player on the pitch is Johnson by a mile, which is worrying as there is no true back up in the squad.

Players coming off due to lightening storm. Half hour wait
