Scott Sinclair!

What so Rashford is going to sit on the bench until Kane gets injured? Doesn't he play wide for England just about every game?

Your description of Walcott sounds like Sinclair's EPL career bar one season.. Do you see the hypocrisy?

Fair enough mate, not much point in debating anymore. Agree to disagree.

 

And you're discounting Sinclairs current form and performances there, that's the hypocrisy that we're on about.

Dunno why folk are complaining, it's always been the same. They put one of their greatest ever players out of position and * his game right up just so they didn't need to pick Thommo (who was destroying the likes of Barca at the time)

 

Seriously mate, what does that make Sinclair if Walcott is "* awful"?

Walcott would be an infuriating player to have at your club, but he can be a very effective player at that level on his day.

I mean last season he scored 10 in 28 EPL games for a lacklustre Arsenal side, 5 in the FA cup and 4 in the UCL proper (I assume).

Inconsistent, aye, but * is Sinclair then at that level???

Not at all, his form here will never translate to what it would if he scored a quarter of the goals in the EPL. That's the way it is.

 

He can be a decent finisher but his all round play and effort is terrible. It's why he doesn't get a game really despite having a good ability to find the net.

And that's England's downfall, believing their own hype and not playing form players. As is Scotland's btw.

 

They players don't play regular for those sides though do they bar Walcott who for me as a striker doesn't score regular

Rashford is not good out wide he only started scoring when he was main striker get that idea out of your head because you are wrong doesn't even play their regular for mam United because marital is better in the wide position u strike me as the type of motd fan boy who only chooses to watch old firm games and European games when you can be bothered

I think he shat all over your argument in my honest opinion rashford should sit on the bench if lane is fit why play him out of position were he isn't effective ??? Just because he warm the bench at times for man utd do you see how stupid that is and is probably the reason they are not playing well. Manager accomodating spaces in the team to people just because who pay their wages rather than form

this is true but our fans cant take there green tinted specs off, yes sinclair is great for us but come on hes not a top EPL player, fact

 

Nor does he have to be to be considered for an England chance. All I'm saying is atleast give guys like a Sinclair a chance because right now, even with their "star" players they are still struggling to turn over teams like Slovenia over two games they continue to go with the same options and tactics time and time again and people expect something different yet nothing improves, is that not the definition of insanity?.

Even look at Kane, he's near crippled when playing for England because the system and players around him don't do enough around him to give the same sort of space that gets tons of goals for spurs, is that then more a tactical thing then a player issue OK maybe it is, but atleast still give Sinclair a go let him run at defenders let him play off Kane and try link up and then suddenly we might a fluidity to their team that's allowing Kane to open a bit more.

Right now though it just the same old no movement, no urgency, safey wafey square pass here, square pass there and then oops they've lost 2-1 to Iceland at a major tournament.

That result should have meant serious change should happen but there has been zero evidence of that.

But in honesty as long as Sinclair is out of the England team then it's good for is because he can just focus on us and nothing more, well I mean besides banging Helen of course.

 

By that logic Hernan Crespo and Diego Forlan weren't good enough for the England team.

The full point is that the EPL is not the be all and end all of football.

 

As a player to compete with Sterling- no , can he compete for a place in a 23 man squad over Oxlade, Walcott and Rashford (playing out wide)- of course. Oxlade is out of form, Walcott is good but his crossing is * poor and does Forrest things. Rashford is class but out wide he looks lost as seen against Scotland. * sake James Milner was still in their squad last year and the only thing he's good at is taking penalties.

 

Lingard is * poor. Chamberlain is stuttering away to having a * career and i know plenty of Arsenal fan's who've unanimously said Walcott is a diddy that they want gone..

Also, alright saying Arsenal were a stuttering side last year or the last few but at the back, defensively. Not going forward where they create bundles of chances..

 

James Milner is a good player. Versatile, consistent and a good professional.

 

James Milner's a cracking player.

 

You could argue who's better between Sinclair, Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain but at the end of the day, there's only one of them in form.

Surely that's what International football is all about, picking players in form. Something England managers have failed to grasp in a very long time.

Sinclair at Swansea under Brendan was a very good player, didn't work out at City or Chelsea because he's not that level of player, but neither are England. * at Villa because they were dreadful.

At the end of the day, England are * terrible and by all accounts painful to watch, so including a pacy wide player who's been scoring for fun in their squad seems pretty logical. I would have Rashford left and Sterling right with Kane through the middle personally but it's definitely worth calling him up.

Especially over the likes of Townsend, Ox, Redmond, Downing or whoever else they have.

 

Scored 25 goals from wing in Scotland no hope of a call up to England NT.

Play 2/3 decent games for a top 10 EPL team, straight in squad.

There's a reason there NT are serious underachievers.

 

Aye there is, that isn't it however.

 

What is it then?

And btw I wasn't on about just Sinclair, the many other English on form players.

 

The English team isn't as good as people like to think. The other issue is they fail to apply themselves for all these easy games in the qualifiers. Then they turn up at tournaments and they don't have a clue who deserves to play.

They'd be better picking 11 guys who'd burst a gut and not turn up and put a half-hearted effort in.
