For who though?

Carrick is injured and Gerrard is being used on the right. As much as I'm not a fan of Lampard, he's still better than Jenas.

PARKER GODDAMNIT!!!

I agree he should be in the squad and I did feel like mentioning him. However I'm sure he'd be more likely to vie for Hargreaves spot that to partner him.

How long does a broken ankle keep someone out for?

I'd have thought at least 2-3 months

but this is why im not a doctor.

Im just so pleased Lamps is still in the team..

Unlucky Deano

four months but if ur a quick healer i.e Xabi Alonso you will be back in two months

he needs to impress ballack... the doubters are gathering even in the press.... also if jose plays a 4-4-2 this season it will more than halve lamps goal total.... the public are very close to uncovering the truth

I would have played Lennon on the right, Gerrard in the centre and Bent instead of Defoe

Have to agree....It is a friendly so use it this way.......get some of the young players out there.....Give downing a chance and we know gerrard can play on the right......Lampard is really being lucky right now.

We know Lennon can play on the right aswell..........


We have to try this now, if this is to be the formation for the qualifiers it has to at least be tested a bit before we get into a real game.

wahey
duno who this robbo is but anyway
Now drop Lampard!

Frank shanks another one

Well he's been very relaxed about it all, has McClaren - and it's been a refreshing change from Sven Borin' Eriksson - but it's a big decision to drop Becks.

Of course, you can't deny that Beckham was struggling for his place, and his pace, in the first team. Sometimes you thought Eriksson picked him in return for a few backstage passes to the odd showbiz do.

But for all Becks' hairstyles and hoo-haas, his tattoos and his telly programmes, he always tried bloody hard on the football field.

I never got the impression that he was not giving it all he could, but he was overtaken by the hype. He was never a great player, just a really good one.

McClaren has done the right thing, there's loads of little scampering lads to take Beckham's place and if we need the free-kicks to be taken, we've got Gerrard, Rooney et al.

Perhaps Macca will be doubly brave now and drop Frank 'the shank' Lampard (unless he has a blinder against Greece), giving Gerrard a free rein.

Its Teeside Robbo off the BBC isnt it?

- - - - - - - - Robinson
Neville - Ferdinand - Terry - Cole
Gerrard - Lampard - Hargreaves - Downing
- - - - - - Defoe - Crouch

With the squad and the players its impossible. But anyway...
Actually Lamps can play well here...

----------------------------Robbo-----------------------------

-----------Ferdinand---------Terry-----------Brown--------

------------------Hargreaves---------Lampard--------------

---Lennon----------------Gerrard---------------Downing---

------------------Bent--------------Defoe/Crouch-----------

Could Downing cover that flank?

Could Downing cover that flank?

He isnt the best when it comes to putting in a tackle, I wouldnt want to rely on him in the situation. He will do it if needed but he's just not very good at it.

He'd be able to run up and down the flank for you easy though

Well Lamps would have to do a good job on that side..Make Lamps work thats what I say make him sweat for all those missed chances at the WC............

my team without carrick would be lennon hargreaves gerrard cole.

thats would be a good side. anything to get ride of Lampard!!!

I like Cole but is his crossing winger class????

He's a good crosser ive though Cole, but only when he cuts back onto his right...so it does limit him.

u say that put lennon will keep the width out on the right. the guy always goes right. hes an allright croser of the ball.

As for Downing hes got a left foot and thats about it.

What is Maclaren's obssession with Downing... I have never been impressed by him... hope he proves me wrong

DOWNING - you tart Mclearn - you silly tart

I'm also not convinced by Downing, he's never impressed me. Give him a right foot and he'd be 10th choice right winger for England, if that
