Your WC Squad
If you had to pick your 23 now, who would they be? No ifs or buts. No indecision.
And if you like, pick your starting XI.

So many ifs and buts in practice, particularly with the starting XI, having to speculate on (players coming back into acceptable) form etc etc... (in one of my cases recovering from injury too)

Depending on Hargreaves fitness, I'd throw Lampard out altogether. Useless when playing in a deep position.

Re: Your WC Squad
Are we assuming on players fitness as now or in three months?
Is it ok to admit i've creamed my pants over the prospect of Hargreaves being fit?

Not really, i planned to put Lennon in there, but the fact i would rather see Gerrard on the right than the left put a spanner in the works. Feel free to replace SWP with Lennon, i don't really feel strongly one way or the other with them two.
Why don't you post your squad instead of sitting there making catty remarks?

WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO BE BLACK TO BE A TRUE DM!
Ok, just kidding. Maybe a year ago I would have agreed with you. I always thought that Mascherano did all defensive work for Liverpool and Alonso was just there to pull the strings but Alonso is hugely underrated in his defensive capacity. He has recovered more balls than anyone else in the league and his work rate is second to none and his positioning is superb.
