Ramar Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Take a pick from Crouch, Bent or Ashton. All of which can do the job just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 OK guys, what would your Endland XI be (assuming everyone is fit)? Mine would be something along the lines of: ------------------ Robinson ---------------- Young --- Carragher --- Terry --- A. Cole --------------------Carrick------------------ Beckham --------------------------- J. Cole ------------------- Gerrard ----------------- ------------Rooney ------------------------- ---------------------------Owen------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodleman Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Chill out Im only joking around. not including rooney because hes never going to make it :P ----------Robinson---------- Neville----King----Terry----A.Cole Beckham--Carrick---Gerrard---Downing --------------Lampard--------------- ---------------Owen----------------- subs: Green Carragher Lennon Bent Defoe Crouch J.Cole Yeah ive gone something a bit different, given that Lampard cant defend for shit and getting Gerrrard to defend for both of them means he then rarely gets to make attacking runs. Ive pushed Lampard up to play just behind Owen and bought Carrick in for the injured Rooney, This means that carrick can sit back and allow the rest of the midfield to get forward. I went for King over Carragher purely because Carragher and Terry are very similar players. And Downing over Joe Cole because its nice to have an actual left midfielder on the left for a change. Thats how I would line up against the better teams anyway. against teams like Trinidad or whatever I would drop Carrick for Defoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how you've put Lennon on the bench, i think he deserves the position. Considering the great season he's having with us. Not sure about Downing tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Any ideas on right full back, anyone? Neville is useless, Young isn't good enough either (and injured, isn't he?), and Carra is wasted in that position. This is England's one areas of weakness IMO...if only Stevie Finnan was English!

spirited away Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Neville is a wiked crosser of the ball! I'd say Michael Dawson should play seen as he has played exceptional for us, and Ledley King. But i am a Tottenham fan so inevitably biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I wonder about some peoples footballing knowledge. Neville clearly isn't useless, he is a fantastic right back. And he tends to play amazing for England. He is a good with crosses and attacking throw-ins. Not to mention his great link up play with Beckham. My England XI would be. Robinson Neville Cole Terry Campbell/Ferdinand (dependant on form) J. Cole Gerrard Lampard Beckham Owen Rooney Subs - Green Crouch Carragher Wright-Phillips Parker/Nolan/King (verstaile midfielder basically) As Rooney is out of the world cup, in my opinion its simply bring in the next best guy. Crouch and Owen worked amazingly well against Argentina, so I don't doubt the partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harribo Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Why are people putting Green on the subs bench hes been crap this season. James is the obvious second choice for keeper and IMO Carson is better than Green for third choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirited away Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 David James pulled off some amazing saves in our last match against City, stopped us from scoring a basket full. Needs to sort out his stupid errors though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
