The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

milner was shite, off the pace and a disaster, for whatever reason, to suggest he should be picked ahead of all the alternatives is idiocy even for here, unless of course he's shown he's fully recovered himself back to genuis best and none on here will know that.

As he represents Mon's late summer budget I hope he isn't given the chance to show again how poorly he was in the first game.

Brilliant.

Did you not perhaps think Milner was "off pace and a disaster" due to his missing 3 days of training due to illness?

Why Capello chose him after that reason I'll never know.

mshurst, can I introduce you to our troll, Ms.Everall.

Best left to wallow in her own insanity.

You could substitute the first word of this for 'Rooney' and it would still be true.  But nobody is suggesting he should be dropped.

[MoetVillan]

I suggest he is dropped.  From a window on the 35th floor.  Start Crouch and Defoe, play Cole Lampard Gerrard and Barry, then Dawson for Carratwat and Hart for James.  Bloody hell, Young must be fucked off with not getting picked over Lennon or SShitePhilips.  At least he knows the right region to be crossing the ball.

[Mazrim]

Like I know there's a hole in my arse I know Ashley Young is a better player than Lennon and SWP combined.

[MoetVillan]

Mazrim, I wish to god you had picked that squad.  Even for that one selection.  Walcott, SWP and Lennon are all the same player, fast, tricky and useless for 88 minutes of the game

Five feet above the heads of our strikers and curling beyond the back post or straight to the keeper you mean?! In his defence I can perfectly understand why Capello has reservations about A Young at internatinoal level at the moment. that could change should Ashley rediscover his true crossin ability which was not much on show last season.

[MoetVillan]

Mr Diggles.  To get the ball five feet above our players means he at least got it past the first man, something that seems beyond the dazzling skills of SWP and Lennon.  Young had a poor start last season in his high standards he had set, and continually improved right through until he was arguably our most influential player at the end.  Thats why, for me he would have been on the plane.  Plus we know he can whip that ball in as well as anyone when he is on form, and if it is 5 feet too high, that should be perfect for Crouch's diving headers

Its hardly as if the players who went to the WC instread of him are pinpoint crossers is it? Ash had an inconsistent season in terms of crossing (he has otherwise been excellent in this regard) but he still creates plenty of goals and those other players arent fit to lace his boots.

[Risso]

Trying to be unbiased, I think that Lennon had a better season than Young, and deserves his place in the side ahead of the other out and out wingers.  SWP though, is a headless chicken, and Young is a much better player.  Even though Young was disappointing by his own high standards, he still set up the majority of our goals, and should have been ahead of SWP in the pecking order.  He'd also have suited Capello's style of play a bit more, as England appear to have become the Aston Villa of the international stage.  Young could have crossed in balls for Heskey to not score from as easily as he does for Villa.

[Mazrim]

I dont see how Lennon had a better season than Young when he missed half of it. I agree that both should be in the squad though.

[Mr Diggles]

I agre on SWP - when his place in the City team is taken by Johnson who was only bought in January and still goes to the World Cup you've got to ask questions. Ashley is a good player, I just feel his levels dipped this season a bit, and whilst he did create the majority of our chances this season he gave the ball away a little too much to be considered for the England 23 I feel.

In an ideal world, with them all fit and in form, I would have chosen from J Cole, Johnson, Walcott, Lennon and Young for the wide options with Milner as back up.

[SPENTFORCE]

Ashley's form dipped a bit. But his stats from last season still show how absolutely vital he is to our side

The most important in fact, and you could offer me Lennon AND Wright Phillips in exchange for him and i'd still have to slap your face with a glove

He's twice the player either of those are and is going to get even better
