Poor old Ecuador. I think they will get beaten.

Good move by Sven if this is true.

Trigger, a poor response on the BBS front so far. What can you expect though when Sussex are premier league and Surrey are.....poor.

So, presumably Gerrard and Lampard will be given free rein to roam upfield with Carrick filling in the gap behind them. With our striker options now severely limited this would seem a good solution, it also gives extra cover for the back four.

Good to see that we are making use of Walcott and Lennon. Sven. What a manager.

WHY is hargreaves being moved? I didn't think Carragher merited dropping:nono:

Hasn't been too impressive in the past two games. Hargreaves is a perfectly capable right-back.

Capable? I am not convinced.

He was QUALITY in the middle the other day, and now he's being moved. Silly

i think that will be the side.

Carragher for me has defended well but his distribution is awful, on top of that Carrick keeps the ball better which is something we have to do more of.


I personally think its a big ask of Rooney to play up top on his own when he hasnt played 90 mins, but with the striking options as they are i dont think he has another option.

Id really like Darren Bent running the channels or a sharp defoe in the squad at this time !

hope so. but think carragher should keep his right back spot. i have been hopeing for that formation all along (whilst rooney was injured) but with owen in place of rooney. now owen is out i would revert back to that but obviousley with rooney instead of owen.

This is brilliant, they were talking about it on the ITV highlights show a minute ago. Finally we will have a reasonably creative holding player which will make up for the distribution skills we loose by ferdiand being injured.

Can see why he may drop carragher, he's solid defensively but really isn't an international class right back imo, maybe hargreaves will get forward more although he didn't impress as a right back in the warm up game.

I take it james is Paul Robinsons middle name. I realise he hasnt been as brilliant as usual so far but he is still a million times better than calamity.

I think these last few games Fatty has looked a lot more uneasier between the sticks than James, I am fully aware that I am the only person in the entire country (including his family) that wants David James to play, but I honestly think he is a better goalie, much more mobile and he actually comunicates with his defence, something Robinson is brilliant at for Spurs, but cant seem to do for England.

Wrong midfielder has been dropped/moved.
Lampard does not deserve to be in the startin 11 and Beckham is getting less deserving with every passing game.
