Apparently he said he looked at Chamberlain because of his performances against greats like Ambrosini and Pirlo.
Ambrosini didn't play against Arsenal and Pirlo was a Juve player.

Nothing has been learned from the 2010 debacle it seems.
indeed. why ferdinand wasn't called btw? is he injured or something? and how did hodgson justified downing's and carroll's presence in the team? that's seriously messed up. nothing against those 2... carroll might well become a good player in a few years and a well-performing downing might indeed be national team material..... but surely not after this season!Terry has been shit for years but since Carvalho moved on it has really started to show. He's a reactive defender and doesn't read the game particularly well. When he was younger with more pace (and with a decent centre half alongside him) he could get away with it, but nowadays he's just slow and shit.

i like roy, i really do, but seriously what the hell is he doing? this adventure doesn't seem to be getting off on the right foot.
i see. it still sounds pretty risky to use a spot for carrol, but when u put it like this, it might make sense.lami said:Actually Carroll I might understand, he did show his mettle in the last few weeks. So this form he's in can still be carried to the national team.
Not sure why you brought up Spain, how many non-Spanish central midfielders would make the Spanish squad? I can't think of many.If I were Italian, he wouldn't be in my first 11 either but selected and for Spain NT, he definitely would NOT make it.
If Gattuso was English, we'd probably have a statue of him outside Wembley stadium.
Carrick's too "continental", he doesn't run around enough and throw himself into tackles.

Pirlo? Schweinsteiger? Scott Parker?

I agree! lol
I think England should realise they're not going to out-football Spain, Germany or others, and just do something different. Stick Holt and Carroll up front, and barrage opposition defenses with long balls. It's not pretty, but it's a damn nightmare to defend against, and gives England a better chance.
