            Andy Carroll and Rob Green to start for England against Norway

            Liverpool striker Andy Carroll and West Ham goalkeeper Rob Green will start for England in Saturday's Euro 2012 warm-up match against Norway in Oslo.

            Manager Roy Hodgson said: "Andy ended the season well and has continued in the same vein with us, and that was after a difficult start at Liverpool.

            "I know what I am going to do but I haven't told the players yet. The back four takes care of itself.

            "Rob Green will be in goal and Steven (Gerrard) will start as captain".
            It's like something from Shaggy's 'Smint' videos
            Another MASSIVE game

              Woy will be playing

              Milner Parker Gerrard Downing
              ---------Young
              ---------Carroll

              but surely

              Young Milner Parker Downing
              ---------Gerrard
              ---------Carroll

              would make more sense?

                Roy Hodgson: "You don't have to use short passes, not if you use your big man up front." I'm saying nothing. Absolutely nothing

                Brilliant

                    to be fair he's hardly from the wimbledon style of football is he? I think he means there's no need fannying around like spain do at times when you can get it forward quicker and more effectively. we don't have technically gifted players like the spanish so there's no point just knocking it about for the sake of it. I actually think roy will do a good job with England. But then it depends how you define good, we are never winning anything anytime soon.

                      Yes your right. I'm sure spain will be grateful for the tips Roy of offering. After all it' not like you win world cups or european championships by passing the ball around.

                      If he wasn't serious you would think he was a character off some impressions show.

                        Not exactly what I was saying. We don't have players with anywhere near the technical skills of the spanish. so there is no point trying to copy the spanish way as the way forward with our lot.

                        there are times when a more direct approach works, that cannot be argued. christ a long ball to torres at times under rafa worked a treat. it's when that direct approach is the template and the only plan on the table there is a problem.

                        watching roy's team at fulham and west brom is nothing like watching wimbledon of old, cambridge under john beck or some of the stuff sam served up at bolton. roy is a dinosaur by modern day thinking but his teams do not play long ball ala the previous managers I name.

                        Hate him by all means but I don't see why everything he says is over analysed. england haven't even kicked a ball under him yet.

                          I agree with you up to a point Bob. But **** me, he's old school and he is a stubborn old **** as well. Tell him that and he'll get an apoplexy attack!

                            Can you even call it old school as his tactics back then were **** as well? Shanks, Paisley, Clough, Busby these are old school roy is just old **** that has not yet turned white.

                              Egil Olsen, current Norway coach and former Wimbledon manager, has said Hodgson's preferred style of play is much the same as his.

                              It's a fair point though that most of England's players aren't capable of much more.
                              .
                              Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



                              May the Lord bless this post.
