Roy Hodgson announces
his squad for Euro 2012 tomorrow. Lots of tough decisions to make.
Take JT and Rio? Leave one behind? Leave both?! Which strikers will
he take? Who's injured/unwilling to play?
Here's my 23, with the
following assumptions:
- Foster doesn't want to go
- Scholes wants to go (you never know!)
- Parker, Cahill, Walker and Bent are fit enough
- Roy decides John Terry is a dreadful person and a disruptive influence
KEEPERS
Joe Hart
Scott Carson
Jack Butland
Additional Notes:
We're screwed if Hart gets injured/suspended.
DEFENDERS
Rio Ferdinand
Ashley Cole
Micah Richards
Gary Cahill
Phil Jones
Leighton Baines
Kyle Walker
Joleon Lescott
Additional Notes:
This is the area where England are fairly blessed. Although you'd
have to say there are no guaranteed starters at centre back.
MIDFIELDERS
Steven Gerrard (c)
Frank Lampard
Scott Parker
Gareth Barry
Paul Scholes
Adam Johnson
Theo Walcott
Ashley Young
Additional Notes: If
Parker isn't fit, I'd chuck in Oxlade Chamberlain. Stewart
Downing and Jordan Henderson are rubbish.
STRIKERS
Andy Carroll
Wayne Rooney
Danny Welbeck
Darren Bent
Additional Notes: My
brother Grant Holt misses out, but only just. If Bent's not fit,
brother Holt gets the nod. Sorry Crouchy.
And the starting XI for
France on June 11th (remember that Rooney's suspended):
4-2-3-1
Hart, Richards,
Ferdinand, Lescott, Cole, Parker, Scholes*, Gerrard, Walcott, Young,
Carroll
*If
Scholes doesn't go, Lampard plays instead.
What
do you think?
