Terry would not get anywhere near my team any longer - and TBH, I have totally lost interest while he is in the team, and Fabio is in charge. Completely forgot we were even playing on Sat. I shall resume supporting the national team, after next summer at the earliest, once we have bombed out of another tournament, if we even make it there.

I certainly wouldn't shoehorn Gerrard in on the right. If he plays he has to play in the centre, and you can't play him and Wilshere as a central two as it would inhibit Wilshere's game too much. The alternative would be Young on the right (or left, if Johnson prefers to play right) with Rooney partnered by Carroll or Bent (both of whom I've just realised I missed off the bench). I also forgot about Downing, who would certainly provide a decent alternative to Adam Johnson.

Id say Wilshire and Gerrard are a match made in heaven. Gerrard is an attacking central midfielder whilst Wilshire is somewhat an old school central midfielder, gets forward and back. Parker Gerrard and Wilshire would be a great midfield. Get rid of Fat overated Frank and its hapy days.

I'd agree that as a 3 may work, but in a two there'd be too much onus on Wilshere to do the defensive stuff while Gerrard 'marauded' upfield. I continue to be unconvinced by Gerrard in an England shirt, and I think if we're clearing out the deadwood may as well let him go as well.

If you wanted to play 4-3-3 my team would be a bit different; I'd play Wilshire, Parker and Henderson (another one I bloody forgot about!) across the middle and Young, Rooney and either Walcott or Carroll (depending upon how Carroll starts the season).

Lampard must not start for England.

This is the one for me. First things first, f*** Terry and Lampard off.

Mine would be : 4-3-3 Hart, Richards , Terry, Cahill, Cole, Wilshere, Gerrard, Lampard, Young, Rooney, Walcott.

There are two players different to this one than the one I posted and you're asking if it's a joke, yet this one is "spot on"? Hmm.

If i were England management i'd start weeding out the 'Golden generation' they've had their chances. Didn't harm Germany when they cut all the old heads & dead weight, France are going the same way dumping Gallas & co.
