Team for Slovenia

[SirDouglasLoft]

I'm so suprised people are saying 442. It's clearly NOT working.

James
Johnson
Dawson
Terry
Cole

Lennon
Gerrard
Barry
Lampard
Cole

Rooney

With Gerrard just behind Rooney.

Also Joe Cole HAS to start, one of our best players!

[Stumpy Tim]

Our wingers have been wank - time to go 3-5-2 IMO

Although distribution and ball retension by the centre has been shite.

Would you play two holding players Barry and Carrick?

Because we've been out-numbered in midfield... We need 5 in there. Play Barry holding with Gerrard and Lampard pushing on

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Totally agree, but maybe we should play two holdings players and look to play on the break with our quicker players like Mexico etc?

We MUST win the next game or we're out. Slovenia only need a draw. There's only one team playing on the counter and it won't be us

I would pick

James

Johnson
Terry
Dawson
A Cole

Lennon
Lampard
Barry

James

Johnson
Terry
Dawson
A Cole

Lennon
Lampard
Barry
J Cole

Defoe
Crouch

So you think that Lampard has been better than Gerrard - our only scorer, and only person who looks even partly interested.

Whatever Rooney has done so far, he must start - with Gerrard playing behind him.

Heskey has played his last ever England game IMO.

 

[cuthbert]

Hart
Johnson, Terry, Dawson, A Cole
Milner, Gerrard, Barry, J Cole
Crouch, Defoe

 

[cuthbert]

Drew ,Drew , Barney Magrew, Cuthbert, Dibbles, Grub, Stiles, Moore, Hurst , Peters, Ward

I'm 66yo but if anybody can lend me a pair of boots I'm ready.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

James

Johnson
Cole
Terry
Dawson

Lennon
Barry
Lampard
Gerrard
J. Cole

Rooney

Thought about leaving Lampard out, but would go with that lot.

It's just got to be this side, although if Rooney looks anywhere near as shite as friday, I'll haul him off sharpish for Defoe.

 

[Northstander]

waste of time, it's just delaying the inevitable!

We havent won this in over 40 years for a reason!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

It would be nice to think that fab will make subs sonner than the 70th minutes, if its not working at half time make changes then

 

[brunswick]

all you lots picking 442 and/or lampard.....

i despair.

Before the game, Rooney told to watch videos of his early England appearances when he used to go on slaloming runs causing chaos in opposition defences.
