I think the opposite - the reason Henderson is even questionable is that he is the type of player whose game is based around running around. In the heat we'll be ****ed if we play a traditional English game and will need possession hoarders like Carrick in the team/squad.
Personally I think Henderson has shown his adaptability enough to contribute in a variety of plans. Obviously Hodgson will have a more hoof based approach than most other managers in the circumstances and might in fact favour Henderson over other long shots like Johnson in midfield."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

Whilst I wish Gerrard every success, England are not going to win the World Cup. The next best thing is for Roy Hodgson to be shown to be the inept, fraudulent dinosaur that he is, with the added bonus of this being highlighted to the entire footballing world on the grandest of stages.
I can't speak for Shaggy - or others with a similar line of thinking - but the level of passion I have for Liverpool doesn't even register for our national team. I'm a bit of a hypocrite, because I'll be using England's World Cup games to have a few beers and cheer them on, but a Liverpool defeat will last a day or two - an England defeat will be dealt with by the next sip of my beverage.
Oh, and did I say I want England to lose because Roy Hodgson is a massive weapon?Last edited by Muddled; 24-02-14, 08:15 AM.Comment

I dont really get why Hodgson would want to take Gerrard, Cole, Jagielka, Lampard and all those older players.
As mentioned by Mudds, we aren't going to win the thing. So we may as well blood some youngsters and see if they can make a name for themselves.
Henderson, Sterling and Sturridge all have a chance to cement England places this summer, but I dont think they will get the chance too because of the older lads holding onto their places (I do include Gerrard in this)*Except Michael, who died.Comment

FWIW I think a Midfield of Lallana, Wilshire and Henderson is a trio that can hold down our midfield for the next 10 years or so. Be stupid not to put it in place now.*Except Michael, who died.Comment

But Gerrard's England captain
....he's the first name on the sheet.
Having been so sterile and such a predictable side for so long, I think England are *potentially* interesting again. Obviously with him at the helm it will make them very predictable and stodgy, but there is potential for them to have a quite a progressive, young and dynamic first XI.Thanks very much for beingComment

I'm asking it again. Does Hodgson ever play with 3 in midfield? As far as I know he's a strict advocate of a rigid 4-4-2.
Are we winning?Comment

I'm pretty certain he's 'progressed tactically' to a 4-5-1 with three central midfielders and two attackers who make a five when we are defending. We still play eight across the 18 yard line though.Last edited by Muddled; 24-02-14, 08:31 AM.Comment

Yeah he has amazed many by trying a rudimentary version of a 4-2-3-1 with England....which basically amounts to 4-5-1.Thanks very much for beingComment

So all the attributes that Henderson, Llallana and Sturridge have will probably be stifled in his system.Are we winning?Comment

I saw Sky plugging that yesterday. If I'm bored and curiousity kicks in, I might sneak a peak.Comment
- but I think they'd be crazy to overlook him. His energy and fitness would be massive for England in that heat, especially compared to someone like Carrick.
