Who would pick Heskey over Crouch for the starting XI? In fact, I'd go as far as to say that I'd rather see Defoe and Crouch up front than Rooney and Heskey. I'd pick Rooney and Crouch though.

Beattie :D He's gonna have a brilliant second half of the season and net 20 goals for Stoke. If not, Bent.

Fabio Capello.

 

We where the top scoring side in European qualification with Heskey in the side.

 

Was close between Crouch and Carlton Cole for me, which ever one of those two finishes the season strongest will get the fourth striker spot imo.

 

hargreaves..?

 

when was the last time he was near a competitive game..?

 

I did write assuming everyone's fully fit.

Agreed. He's come on leaps and bounds since he joined Villa. Probably a better all round winger than Ashley Young now.

he played an attacking centre mid role yesterday and was brilliant...another reason why he should go...can play down either flank and aldo down the middle if needs be..

 

I reckon he could do a good job at RB if required

Probably the best thread for this rather than the one in the lounge...

 

GK - Steve Harper (how he's not had a cap is beyond me, he is Englands best 'keeper bar none at the moment)

GK - David James

GK - Rob Green (best of a very bad bunch from Carson, Foster, Kirkland, Robinson etc..)

 

RB - Glen Johnson

RB - Wes Brown

 

CB - Rio Ferdinand

CB - John Terry

CB - Matthew Upson

CB - Joleon Lescott

 

LB - Ashley Cole

LB - Wayne Bridge

 

MR - Aaron Lennon

MR - David Beckham

 

CM - Steven Gerrard

CM - Frank Lampard

CM - Gareth Barry

 

LM - Joe Cole

LM - James Milner

 

ST - Wayne Rooney

ST - Jermaine Defoe

ST - Peter Crouch

ST - Theo Walcott

ST - Emile Heskey

 

Standby - Paul Robinson, Phil Jagielka, Michael Carrick, Ashley Young, Michael Owen

GK - Ben Foster, Chris Kirkland, Paul Robinson

RB - Glen Johnson, Micah Richards

LB - Ashley Cole, Leighton Baines

CB - John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Phil Jagielka, Joleon Lescott

CM - Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Gareth Barry

RM - James Milner, Shaun Wright-Phillips

LM - Aaron Lennon, Ashley Young

ST - Wayne Rooney, Jermaine Defoe, Darren Bent, Peter Crouch, Theo Walcott/Gabby Agbonlahor

 

And probably starting XI like:

 

------------Foster---------------

Johnson--Terry--Ferdinand---Cole

------------Gerrard--------------

Milner---------------------Lennon

-----------Lampard--------------

--------Rooney--Bent/Defoe------

 

Subs: Everyone else.

 

I think the diamond would work best for England, because it's the only way that Gerrard and Lampard can play together. I know Gerrard plays a more forward role for Liverpool, but aside from the defence he's the best tackler in the team.

 

Not sure about starting Crouch up front, because although he's a good aerial target, I think Bent or Defoe would bring more to the team altogether. Rooney has to start, he's going to be key. Milner is having a cracking season, as is Lennon, and they both deserve to start over SWP and Young imo.

I love you're team but the day Gerrard actually stays in a position as opposed to going 'Roy of the Rovers' every single game is the day... erm, you get what I mean!

Not sure how Owen can be in anyone's squads? On what basis?

 

He was in my team when I first done it.

 

Its that poachers instinct.

 

Yes he is a bit part at Man Utd,

 

Yes his best days are behind him

 

Yes there are players in better for

 

But...........

 

You cant ignore his record on the internationl stage. Even though he is out of my side ive just done, its was the closet call I chose

These are my thoughts on Owen.

 

Would rather have Zamora in the squad

the journos wet themselves when he gets his odd goal...

 

they fail to mention that when he plays at the mo he misses so many chances and looks well out of place in a team like man u...

 

rooney is light years ahead of him..

 

the days of just being a goal scorer are gone..you simply have to have more than that to be at the very top...

Seeing as your wrong on most things regarding rating players and writing them off etc then Owen will get into the squad. If England get a last minute chance to win a game i know who i would want to take it and it would not be Darren Bent or Carlton Cole etc.

In fairness I woouldnt want it dropping to Wayne Rooney either. He is so over-rated it is unreal. Decent player but not amongst the worlds best. Jermaine Defoe is a more potent finisher than Owen and has more pace.

Despite going unbeaten in European qualification and scoring the most goals by far you think we should ditch the 4-4-1-1 that's worked so well and go back to our world cup 2006 formation that was a disaster?

 

That doesn't make any sense.

 

We lost away to Ukraine.

 

Dumbass.
