Rooney Injury
-
Time to call up marlon harewood

that was no malice from ferreira to be fair...i think rooney foot got stuck on the grass and he jarred the leg...thus on impact...breaking his matatarsal bone...Originally posted by iceFatboy:rooney will go to WC and play if only England can progress. I believe more of boost at this time. I mean how many bones can you afford to break in one's foot and only 20.
Honestly, I prefer Rooney to rest, he is only 20.
And start the season with MUFC, ready.
because I don't believe it is by chance, he is injured twice by portugese players.
blame the chelsea pitch...stamford beach...

No point explaining to ppl that Ferriara's tackle is unintentional or not. When the hatred is there, it clouds people's ability to think.

Basket, this was what I feared most in the run up to a World Cup. Of all players' metatarsals, it had to be Rooney's.
One can lament the loss of Rooney in the Group stages (which thankfully seems rather straightforward provided they don't trip up against Sweden) but the formation that England will employ will be roughly the same as what they employed in the 2002 WC. At least this time, they have Gerrard and Gary Neville (unlike in 2002 where these two players were out). The midfield would have to maintain the shape of the team and prise the opposition's defence. Beckham's crossing will be crucial. Hope he doesn't try and do a captain marvel by waltzing to the middle of the park every time.
Eriksson's gotta recall Fowler back to the squad. He does not have any good and seasoned strikers to rely on. Can you imagine Crouch and Darren Bent upfront?!?! Laughing stock man....... -
if rooney is out, england can really forget it!!

They have to graft out each result (Greece is a good example). Hopefully they can learn not to rely on him in the next few friendlies.Originally posted by dragg:if rooney is out, england can really forget it!! -
This was what I was scared of: England being over-reliant on Rooney and Owen. If either one of them goes down, England's in trouble.
Bent and Crouch aren't all that bad, but they certainly can't match Rooney's standards, either.
Eriksson had better start toying around with alternative formations. 4-4-2 won't work as well if he simply replaces Rooney with Crouch/Bent. -
Take Heskey and Defoe!

Whilst they are not the Rooney mould, we are also not sure about their international pedigree. Which is why I am in favour of recalling Fowler back to the squad. Its easy for Fowler to play off Crouch and on the basis of his recent form, that should merit a place in the final 22. Unfortunately, England is not like Brazil, Argentina or Italy who all have a pool of strikers/playmakers at their disposal.....Originally posted by fudgester:This was what I was scared of: England being over-reliant on Rooney and Owen.

Defoe still ok but Heskey that lumbering giant......Originally posted by Nelstar:Take Heskey and Defoe! -
defoe is off-form after sitting on the bench for too long.Originally posted by JLennon:Defoe still ok but Heskey that lumbering giant...... -
heskey can't score a goal with the goal post the same size as the length of the pitch la...

you JLennon...of the beatles right...lol...no wonder wanna call fowler...fowler does has international experience...but can tell he is still short of match fitness...wanna call him might as well call defoe or vassel...as least they played more this season...Originally posted by JLennon:Basket, this was what I feared most in the run up to a World Cup.

haha... no lah, I am an Evertonian so recalling Fowler has nothing to do with club affiliation.Originally posted by R3SsH|n:you JLennon...of the beatles right...lol...no wonder wanna call fowler...fowler does has international experience...but can tell he is still short of match fitness...wanna call him might as well call defoe or vassel...as least they played more this season...
I just think that he has proven himself at the highest level and notwithstanding his current fitness levels, he can terrorise defenders better.
Don't forget Heskey did at least score against the Germans in England's 5-1 victory in Munich 5 years ago. -
i guess the playmaker post will either goes to lampard, who is a good support, or maybe gamble with bent or defoe or beattie haha
The strikers i think would be:
Crouch, Owen, Bent, Defoe and Vassell
Vassell how could they missed Vassell -
JusStatic - hatred??
I believe you think above yourself.
hatred = emotions.
as per manure, fart, spit, you have no emotions.
So to me, Chelsea is such. no hatred. just no emotions. -
The hatred comment was not meant to be an insult, if you take it as one then my apologies because I dont like to engage in long arguements and insults. Everyone has thier right to voice their opinion.Originally posted by iceFatboy:JusStatic - hatred??
