it's pretty scary that england have to choose between a centre back in carragher and a shite football player in neville as a right back against brazil

....................robinson

carra..........rio............terry..........bridge

lennon......gerrard......carrick........cole

................crouch.......owen

where is rooney is he injured? owen shouldnt be starting i dont think he has barely played for a year....although i know he will.

Rooney is suspended for the Estonia game. Is Hargreaves injured ?

What has Smith ever done?

And that front line, only Crouch and Defoe are any good - Owen not in form and might even get injure; Smith is plain shite.

Surprise for me though, but why hasn't Wayne 'Golden Boy' Rooney been called up?

Smith plays for a top 4 club, so McClaren is always going to pick him above the likes of Bent. Lunatic.

Get rid of McClaren. ASAP.


BTW is Foster injured? WHy hasn't he been called up?

Why hasn't James been called up? He's been much better than the other 3 this season!

I really don't like McClaren. He's clueless.

James is media pariah and McClaren is clearly a demagogue.

Foster is injured, Rooney is suspended, so it's probably the best we can pull.

Btw Lennon got a knock last night. I'd go -


Robinson
Brown, Ferdinand, Terry, Shorey/Bridge
Bentley/Beckham, Gerrard, Hargreaves, J Cole
Crouch, Owen

Decent team.

we all know lampard will start, he clearly wont be dropped.

Mclaren should kiss Beckhams ass I reckon

With Bentley, Beckham and Lennon in the squad I highly doubt Gerrard will play on the right so that means Hargreaves or Lampard next to Gerrard in the centre.

Problem is Hargreaves isn't 100% fit.

Looking at the squad again, realised that a) Hargreaves isn't in it & b) thats for the friendly against Brazil as well.

Suppose that means a return to a Gerrard & Lampard midfield, unless Carrick plays.

Secondly surely Rooney could of played vs Brazil?

It's embarrassing tbh.

Whats funny about Brown apart from being Orange?

He doesn't play regularly, and he's in the squad ahead of Lescott. Defence is our strongest area, we don't need players that spend their time on the bench at club level.

Is Lescott a right back all of a sudden?

Thats why Brown is there because Neville is out.

Is Brown a right back? He's a CB that happens to be able to play there, like Carragher - but worse.

But he's not a worse RB, he's a better RB.

probable team McClaren will pick.
Robinson

Brown----Terry---Rio---Bridge

Beckham---Gerrard----Lampard---J Cole

Crouch ---Owen

back to the dark ages then

I think he'll pick Carragher over Brown but apart from that Dark Savante's team looks about right.

Carragher really is the most awful full back, I think even Liverpool fans would except that.

I'd rather Pip Neville play there.

Will this be the first time Ronaldinho will be up against Rio Ferdinand?

I'm not expecting much anyway given Ronaldinho's poor physical level this season, but it'll be interesting nevertheless...

World Cup 2002 he played but he was playing deep, with Rivaldo and Ronaldo further forward.

Ferdinand and Campbell kept Ronaldo fairly quiet that day, it was Rivaldo who was the danger man.

So Hargreaves will not be playing the 2 games ?

Gerrard + Lampard it is ..
