England Team

[CHAPPERS]

Now that we have a pretty much full strength side available now and Campbell on the mend, what team would you like to see put out against the Welsh at Old Trafford??

Mine goes something like this (assuming Robinson will keep his place)...

Robinson

Cole
Campbell
Ferdinand
Neville

Bridge
Lampard
Beckham (c)
Wright Phillips

Rooney
Owen



Subs:

Green
Terry
J Cole
Smith
Heskey

Pretty much agree, although if Butt is fit I would have him in midfield for Wright-Phillips and put Beckham on the right. I do think with the attackers in that midfield you need one holding player.

Is Neville going to be back?

get heskey off that subs bench!

and when i say that i don't mean get him off the bench and in the team!

 

[SK1NT]

defoe instead of heskey and then u got a good squad!

However Heskey offers something different from Defoe, Owen and Vassell, but on his current form he is unlikely to be selected.

I can't see the point of playing Butt really. Hargreaves would get the nod from me ahead of him if I was going to play a holding midfielder.

Maybe, I guess with Butt he has never let England down and sometimes you need a work horse like him in there.

I am not sure Wright-Phillips should be in there at the moment, his role is probably as a 20 minute sub at the moment.

Oh and the keeper should be Nigel Martyn....

can't honestly put heskey before defoe i wouldnt put heskey b4 a donkey! even at birmingham he's missing sitters, has he even scored yet?

Not saying put him before Defoe, however as a sub he offers something different from Defoe.

Regarding Defoe, people are raving after one good game. Lets see where he is after 15 or so games.

tell you what that team looks good on paper who ever comes in

so why do we play like a shower of shit

 

[alan partridge]

i'd go a long with that team cts

So 4 points from 2 tricky away games is a shower of shit (I know it should have been 6). Most people would have taken that before the games.

Do not care if we play like a complete bunch of fuckwits in the qualifiers, as long as we get the results and qualify.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Robinson

Cole
King
Campbell
Neville

Hargreaves
Lampard
Beckham
Wright-Phillips

Rooney
Defoe

Subs: Green, Ferdinand, Carragher, Butt, J.Cole, Smith, Owen


Keep the form players in, the 'big names' can earn their places.

 

[saltash seagull]

robinson

neville
ferdinand
terry
cole

beckham
butt
lampard
bridge

owen
rooney

subs (don't they have 7 like in the champions league?)

green
king
hargreaves
dyer
wright phillips
smith
defoe

 

[CHAPPERS]

Heskey as a sub would bring something very different to the game. There is little point having so many like for like players on the bench, Smith just gets the place on the bench for me ahead of Defoe.

 

[SK1NT]

i know what u mean UB, yea hes had one good game! forget defoe then anyone but heskey, he may be strong but he cant score!

Yeah good points in the bag whats annoying is that we did not look confident that team should be brushing all aside

i think ferdinand and Cambell back there will change the team for the better

Just about spot on is that, take some beating would that team!!

 

[Marshy]

Bet he plays Butt and keeps Wright Phillips on the bench.

I would play Wright Phillips tho, also i would go with Defoe over Owen at the moment, not because i think hes better, but just because Owen hasnt kicked a ball in weeks.
