Joe Cole

[watsongooal]

ReallY am not convinced by the lad, tries too hard and as of yet hasnt lived up to the potential he offered 2-3 years ago.

He always seems reluctant to pass, and I think he looking last night like someone desperate to make an impression because he has been overtaken by rooney.

He is bloody fantastic. Needs more games at Chelsea to get his pasing game going, but his skill is second to none. He played ok last night - I have seen him play better for England, but he's not good enough (at the moment) for the first 11). Wait for a couple of years though - a force to be reckoned with.

Couldn't agree more, definately in the Frank Lampard 'promising younster' catagory.
Problem is how long can you promise but not deliver ??

 

[brighton rock]

looked good to me last night

 

[Goring Gull]

Not convinced myself either, Still promosing, but how long are we expected to wait, Though playing with the sort of players he is at Chelsea will decide if he can go that step further.

 

[Highfields Seagull]

He seems to play like he thinks he's still the best kid in the playground and won't pass to anyone else. If someone can have a word with him about this (or slap him round the head) I think he might do better.

 

[Beeneys gloves]

Good potential but not sure he'll ever realise it, seemed desperate to shoot at every opportunity and there was one moment he could have laid in Neville but oh no, he had a touch of the Defoe's

Rooneys above him now in pecking order as happy to shoot but also more than willing to play the killer ball.

Looks like Cole needs to leave Chelski already if he is to further his international career

 

[Dave the OAP]

Lampard was absolute cack last night!

Would you bring in Ferdinand and Campbell for the Turkey game? I would be inclined to keep Upson in. He looked assured and comfortable on the ball and his defending was very sound...Campbell is just a camel

 

[Goring Gull]

I have doubts about Rio can be great but is definitely prone to do something stupid, lose concetration.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Joe Cole needs to be put in the left wing position and played there for a few games to find his feet. A few minutes at the end of games which are meaningless at the time are pointless, give him a proper go and w'll see a vast improvement, much like whats happened to that ugly fucker Rooney.

Eriksson also needs to quit f***ing with the formation and play 4-4-2.

James
Neville
Campbell
Ferdinand
Bridge
Beckham
Scholes
Gerrard
J.Cole
Heskey
Owen

 

[Goring Gull]

Bet Everton are gutted Rooneys not a looker in the way Beckham is, imaginer all the extra marketing cash they could have made.

 

[Life After Bobby]

actually reckon he should go for a more flexible, tighter formation akin to 4-3-2-1 for the turkey game

James

Neville
Campbell
Ferdinand
Cole

Beckham
Scholes
Gerrard

Rooney
Heskey

Owen

 

[Uncle Albert]

Bridge or Cole?? I would actaully pick Bridge ahead of Cole.

Sure there are plenty of young northern lasses in white Kappa tracksuits and heavy gold jewellery yhat would disagree with you !

They are still going to make more than you or I

Our clubs that is

I would be inclined to play a goalie myself.

p.s if cole is amazing how comes he doesn't figure in your 11?

 

[the right footed denilson]

cos he doesnt fit into the formation, he would be an ideal sub for rooney though.
