Scholes replacement?

[nwgull]

I'd go for Hargreaves too, although from the list I'd play Bridge as he's easily the best left footed crosser in the squad.

 

[nwgull]

ooops, just noticed Hargreaves IS in the list

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Wot still no votes for Heskey

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

sven has hinted that hargreaves will start. personally i think that makes sense as he apparently wins ALL the fitness tests in the england team by a mile and will probably drop back slightly allowing gerrard and lamard to go forth and tear the swiss apart!

 

[CHAPPERS]

I'd go for Hargreaves personally. Joe Cole has shown nothing to suggest that he should start, in the Iceland game he did his cause more harm than good.
I used to like the idea of playing one of the left backs on the wing but not any more so that rules that out.
Phil Neville is a SPAZ and should never be allowed to pull on an England shirt again.
Heskey is a striker.
Keiron Dyer has not played a good game for England for a long time but I reckon he could play in the hole but not on the left.

So that leaves Hargreaves.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Heskey is a striker.

now thats a bit kind to the lad chappers

 

[Trigger]

Gotta be Owen Hargreaves.

 

[Gwylan]

I'd pick Hargreaves but I reckon that Sven will pull a mean trick and go for Heskey...he seems to be his sole fan in England.

 

[007]

Heskey has a vote!!! :thud:

Hargreaves

fit, strong, god tackler, good with a dead ball, good shot on him, doesnt get booked every game for slicing players up in the air

the more i think of it the more I want Cole & Bridge doing some sort of overlapping routine down the left flank, both covering each other in attack and defence. Little one-twos with bridge knocking in the final cross...and his crosses are superb at times. Face it we wont need a holding player against the swiss, it should be all out attack and having these two running the left flank is ideal for rooney and own IMO.
