Smith set to be preferred to Crouch

I think it could be time for the return of the robot!

On the england subject, was Pennant worth a place in the squad after recent performances?

[Shaggy]

Not for me.

Hehe. No.

Nah, no chance. SWP, Lennon, Beckham and Gerrard would all play there ahead of him.

[Morph]

Not saying he should like but Lennon - injured, SWP - a bit **** no?, and if stevie is for the middle that only leaves beckham who wont be there for very long, it would seem the place is ready made for him if he keeps his form up

[Red_Polo]

SWP is a much better player than Pennant though, and I think Mc****head is going to play Stevie there, at least he was before he made his u-turn on Beckham, big ginge fathead wimp that he is.

[loco_law]

Sooooooo...........


After listening to all of you moan about letting Crouchie get a game in for England.....


WTF?!?!?!


He was the 2nd leading goal scorer in the CL and even WE didn't start him in the final! He couldn't buy a regular start for us, and was still one of our most exciting and prolific (yes, I said it again) scorers last season.

I like Peter, and I think that he should have started a hell of a lot more than he did this year, but no one has bitched about that as much as this htread has been bitching about him not starting for England for 2 matches.


Why?

i think he's cooled on Lampard, and if he ****s off to spain as expected theni think he'll put himself right out of the picture and we'll see more of gerrard and hargreaves in the middle, but i digress

Trust me mate, I have.

I just think this is one omission too far. He has almost no opposition yet McClaren is seemingly about to whip two names inexplicably out of the air, in preference to Crouch.

What exactly does he have to do to prove his doubters wrong? He's proved them wrong time and time again, and I wouldn't blame if he felt like jacking it all in. What's the ****ing point? He does his job almost every time, scores goals consistently (when selected) at both Premiership and Champions League level yet gets continually overlooked by both his club and national managers, and is continually dismissed and even ridiculed by some supporters on the forums.

I just don't get it.

Me either mate.

Been a big fan since we signed him and don't understand why he doesn't get a consistant run, since we cause defences so many problems when he plays, and he's had some of our most exciting goals this season. Hell, even the best goal in the CL this year!!!!

Took ya long enough to bitch, ya Yankee.

HAHA

[Fierce]

I want Liverpool players to play for England. I want them to play for the national team and do well

However, this is only a friendly?? Granted its against Brazil so shouldn't be taken likely, but I doubt for one minute either Smith OR Owen will get the nod over Crouchie when it comes to the Estonia game.
Possibly, possibly Owen as we know how much he ups his game for his adopted country; but I fully expect Crouch and Rooney (suspensions not withstanding?!) to start the qualifying game

Oh, and Ferdinand and Terry, like it or not, are the best centre back pairing England have got right now. Should one of them not be able to play though, then anyone other than Carra starting is a joke

I started this thread earlier and put it in the footy forum - but it's since been merged and moved here. Wasn't me.
