Otto,Pierre and Puro.Your best England XI

I'd like to know what is for you the best England starting XI.

For me:

---------------------------Kirkland--------------------------

Neville-----------Rio-----------Campbell---------JL Samuel-----

-------------------------Carrick----Heargraves-------------------

Gerrard----------------------------------------------Murphy

----------------------Owen-------Heskey-----------------------

i know this team is nothing special but clearly better than the Terrys,Lampards or Rooney not good enough to qualify for the euro.We all know our friends there are a litle bit blind so imo ou should help them a little bit.

btw..This isn't a contreversial thread.just a question for great footie specialists.

Bloody good central midfield but some weird ones in there I think

Why? Because Carrick has been /gash for England every time he's played?

it's a tough one, arnaud

a question of picking "the lesser evil"

drop Owen and pick Crouch and we have a compromise

I think Carrick-Greavsie should be given a chance for both United and England. (To be fair Hargreaves-Gerrard hasn't really had a chance either.) But I don't really care, so if that's a $h!t idea I stand corrected

Who would be on the bench Arnuad

Butt, Scholes, Fowler and Trevor Sinclair.

Graeme Murty?

Crouch.Carson.Bridge.Woodgate.Barry

Any England team without Bentley is void !

Good call!!

Shame nobody mentions them real english talents!! Youngand ablonghasomething!!

Those two+ Rooney upfront is quality!

----------------------------Almunia

--Richards-------King---------Ferdinand---Bridge

-------------------------Hargreaves

------------------Bentley-------------Cole

---------------------Gerrard-------Rooney

-----------------------------Crouch

-------------------------Green

Johnson**------King*---------Ferdinand-----Cole

--------------Hargreaves---------Barry

Cole-----------------------------------------------Young

---------------------------Rooney

---------------------------Ashton***[/quote]

* Woodgate if not fit, then Lescott.
** Neville if he gets back to where he was or Gerrard if Johnson can't hack it and then Richards.
*** Carlton Cole if not fit, then Agbonlahor.

You Thief, shaz, I've been on about 4-2-3-1 for the better part of 2 yrs.

----------------------Hart/Foster
Gaz Nev-------RIO (c)--------King/Woody--------Bridge/Cashley*
--------------HARGREAVES----Carrick/Barry*
J.Cole----------------ROONEY--------------------Young
--------------Ashton/Kitson/Heskey/Crouch.*

Ones in caps have near-guaranteed places.

**in that order.

Carrick & Bridge haven't been given the amount of time certain other players have been (LGT) to put in high quality performances.

Carrick and Hargreaves doesn't work, every time they have paired for man utd it's been a pile of $h!t.

You mean the City game we dominated , Spurs game we won?

I would have Gerrard in a England team no prob at all.


--------------Green/Carson/Foster---------------
(Green at the moment as for the moment he seems better, let Carson seal a permanent deal and get settled or Foster to have atleast one full season, Joe Hart if he keeps up his performance).

RB-----------Nev,Michah Richards , Glen Johnson 3 and we are searching for a fourth arent we , simpson if we makes himself a regular for Man Utd , Hoyte if he establishes himself.
Weak area.

CB --------Rio/Woodgate(if he gets back to his best)/Terry/King/Lescott.

LB Ashley Cole first choice no doubt /Bridge/Baines ?/Shorey?

CM-Hargy/Gerrard/Barry/Carrick/Lampard/ etc etc.

Wingers- Ashely Young ,Cole,Agbonlahor,Lennon

SS Rooney
CF Ashton/Crouch/Owen

The formation would also be 4231 for me , Gerrard can play in middle or RM , Agbonlahor can play SS or RM as well as its a wing forward position.

Murphy? Samuel? FFS...you're just on the windup.

Rooney is a must. If need be, play him instead of Owen.

Wouldn't have Campbell either. If not Terry, then King or Richards.

He's leading the line for us this season , although our style of play isnt what England will use and thats probably not his best position but still he's leading the line for us.

Can't agree there. They've played two or three times together, both were good against Spurs and we dominated against Citeh even if we didn't win.

. Why s he being considered at all, even for the squad. Stop putting his name up. He has never, I repeat, never played well as a CM for England. I would rather play Reo-fucking-Coker, not to mention all the other better English midfielders like Michael Johnson, Mullins, Noble, Parker, Huddleston, Jenas, Barton ...

............................ Green .....................
........................... Ferdinand ..................
....... Neville* ............................ Bridge
.......................... Hargreaves .................

.... S Wright-Phillips ................. J. Cole

* or Richards

Need to be more attacking. Won't be drawing 0-0 with Macedonia and Croatia with this team.

Add Smith in there. He can kick a few of the opposition.

--------------Hart-----------
Richards---Rio--King---Cole
-----------Hargreaves------
Bentley----Gerrard------Cole
---------Rooney--Ashton--------

Hm, Bullard expressed an interest in playing for die Mannschaft I see

Brilliant team
