Scholes: England should play like Liverpool

Never that I'd heard that dirty little ginger bastard say that, but fair play I guess.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has urged England boss Roy Hodgson to emulate Liverpool's attacking style of play at the World Cup in Brazil.
Scholes said Liverpool's "swagger" this season, in which they fell just short of a first league title since 1990, reminded him of "United at their best".
"It would be refreshing for England to adopt Liverpool's attacking mentality," said Scholes.

"That means four - and possibly five - Liverpool players in the starting XI."
Liverpool, rejuvenated under manager Brendan Rodgers, scored 101 goals in the league this season as they finished just two points adrift of champions Manchester City.
They topped the table with three matches to go but faltered to let City claim their second title in three years.

Nevertheless, Liverpool's performances impressed Scholes.
"The thing I admired most was the swagger of their play and how they terrorised opponents, which reminded me of United at their best," he wrote in a blog for bookmakers Paddy Power.
At the heart of Liverpool's rise were captain Steven Gerrard, Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson and Glen Johnson, who are all in Hodgson's 23-man squad.
"I'd definitely start with Gerrard, Sturridge, Henderson and Sterling," said Scholes. "The question mark is Johnson at right-back."

No shit there's a problem with Johnson at right back for England, there is for us.
 
Makes sense. We've got the most players in the England squad of any club and we played very well over the season.

England could field half a Liverpool side in familiar roles, we're not quite Barcelona but it didn't do Spain any harm playing a massive chunk of their team.

Woys going to have them playing like 'his' Liverpool though.
 
talksport saying welbeck in not sterling, roy didn't listen to the ginger one then

stupid roy
 
The whole country, minus Liverpool fans, would be gobsmacked if he played welbeck and left sterling out. Woy is a clueless face rubbing cunt though
 
Is anyone else worried he'll line us up with a flat 442 with Lallana and Welbeck wide? I wouldn't put it past Roy. Still, silly not to play Sterling, him in for Welbeck has to be our starting line up for Italy.
 
I think the team that started tonight, in that formation, will be the team for Italy. And we'll be clueless like tonight hoping for a worldy or a flukey set piece to get a result. I can see England losing at least 2 of the opening 3
