When old Roy was appointed manager of England it came as a surprise to most people.Roy is without a doubt a great manager and has had successful stints with the Swiss and Finland national team,Rovers and Fulham to name a few.But was he really the best man for the job when there were men like Redknapp available for the job??Can he really help England end their drought and to their first ever European championship??Only time will tell.But let us just review some of roy's BIG decisions before that.
So you are given a chance to choose a 23 member squad for a prestigious and u literally have an arsenal of players at your disposal!!!your only problem is who would you drop!!now that is a dream come true for every manager!!so what does old woy do??Pick the out-of-form players and drop the good ones!!!
First decision that raised a few eyebrows was the dropping of Ferdinand.No one,i mean NO ONE in their right mind would drop a veteran like rio before a big tournament like the euro.Some might say he is going for a younger looking squad.So why pick terry or gerrard for that matter?!?!If you ask me he is making the same mistake as AVB.A team should be balanced.A blend of experience and youth!!yes i know what you are thinking!!"ya like this guy has managed in the premier league!!".i haven't.agreed but then again this is my blog!! XD so excuse me!!!He could have made up for this mistake when cahill was injured but he just made it worse by picking kelly before rio!!now that has got to sting!!!
Second BIG decision,now this is something coming from me,was the picking of STEWART DOWNING!!(i am a liverpool fan btw :P)even i agree picking of downing is a mistake when there were other players who were in better form and had accomplished more in the past year!!he isn't complete shit like everyone says.lets not forget how he was at villa.All i am saying is given current form,maybe roy could have gone for someone better.
Other famous decisions include the picking of players predominantly from liverpool, appointment of gary neville,yada yada yada!!liverpool,a club which has clearly seen better seasons.This decision though not wrong is questionable.gary neville??seriously?!?again questionable only!! :P
So can this England team make it all the way???well i wouldn't bet on them!!would you??
