Good weekend for ENG players. Hope Johnson has a bad game for the Reds 2moro though, he needs to away from the national side.

Well they should be performing for their clubs. And Brown is nothing more than a make shift RB, who offers nothing in attack.

I know it was only Stoke, but Johnson had a cracker against them and was MOTM. If he grows as a player, learns defensively with Rafa, he will be one hell of an RB for England.

Not inl quality right-back. Richards or Brown should have that role.
Brown, not strictly a right-back.
Richards, went severely off the boil last season after a cracker the season before.

Johnson is the in-form right back, deserves to be England's right back.

Let's see him against some decent sides first.

Yea but he was very good for United @ the start of the 2008/09 & Capello rightfully picked him. He was very good in that game in Croatia, then he got injured again & has yet to start back for United @ RB.

He handled big pressure primiership & CL matches in that psition very well. He is probably the safest option we can have @ RB.

Richards, went severely off the boil last season after a cracker the season before.
Mainly because he was playing CB most of the time though. So Capello really couldn't pick him based on what he did in the past. Since Fabio as he said everyone was starting new under his tenure.

The season before 2007/08. He was ENG first-choice up until Croatia won @ Wembley & was was going pretty well.

Now that @ city he will be playing RB all the time now. He needs to be recalled ASAP.

He has yet to look intl quality in any game he has played. Defensively he is very poor.

So essentially:

Brown - Poor Offensively
Richards - Unproven as a RB in recent times
Johnson - Good against average teams, of which England face many up until the 2nd Round/Quarters of the World Cup.

International Coach
Carlton Cole's descent from Laughable Sack O' ***** to damn good premiership and potential international footballer is upsetting. The ultimate insult is i've just bought him into the FF team.

Except without the arsehole manager.
My thoughts exactly, can't stand Phil Brown. His on the pitch half time team talk is one of the most pathetic things I have ever seen, and seemed to make Hull go even more crap than they already were. The way he conducted himself during the whole row with Arsenal/Fabregas row was absolutely terrible as well, hope he and Hull get relegated.

Not all that TBF. He is a better crosser than Richards & Johnson. All he lacks is the pace.

If now we get the group of death?. Plus even if we get an easy group, it wont stop Johnson from being exposed, if we get to QF or SF.

Pace being a crucial aspect of offering any sort of offensive threat as a fullback.
Well for United given Ronaldo was in front of him he was really needed to blazing forward to support in attacks that often. Same thing in the WCQ he played with England when Walcott started.

At least we know, defensively againts the worst best wingers he will be solid presence. So i dont mind his lack of pace all that.

All this talk of right-back, TBH Hargreaves might probably be the best option their overall you know..
