Rooney doesn't look at the races at all. It would take a very brave man to drop him though. Either that or you play 4-5-1 with Gerrard behind him because this formation is simply not working for you. Oh, and I'd drop Lampard too.

Rooney has to be a risk at this stage. He could blow a fuse.

Think you just made a bad call on Lampard setanta

Play Robert Green in goal too :joker:

Oh, and honestly, if you decide to play 4-4-2 again I wouldn't play Lampard or Gerrard. Not alone are they not designed to play in those positions, but they also can't play together. Carrick and Barry - even though I'm not keen on either but they know how to play that system. Why wasn't Parker selected? Mental.

If you go 4-5-1 it's either Lampard or Gerrard. Don't think you can play both in either formation.

Yeah, what am I on about actually? Green, 4-4-2 with Heskey, Lampard and Gerrard in. Magic hour. Oh, and Upson.

Nay worries. I kinda liked it

In all honesty I'd play

James

Johnson Dawson Ferdinand Cole

Milner Lampard Barry Cole

Gerrard

Crouch



Rooney can fcking stay on the bench

Cole can give us the flair that no one else has, and SWP/Lennon both didn't perform

Wish they'd stop thowing Crouch on in the dying minutes and I also wish they'd stop playing Heskey. OK he can bully off the ball but he can't fecking run!

Or score

Can't play Gerrard and Lampard on the same team. That midfield is leggy. You'd need Milner to play out of his skin.

You can play them together, just not together within the team, Gerrard as a forward, Lampard as a creative midfielder, so they don't clash

But Barry is leggy. And I don't rate him. Gerrard and Lampard play the same role for their clubs and never know where their responsibilities lie when they play for their country. Honestly, I think one of them should be dropped. That's the ballsy play.

Very true

Infact playing footballs debatable...

Hes good at what he does. But when we realllly need goals should we play him? no...Bent should be there

And yea Barry looks like hes knackered..we should of took scott parker as cover I think

I will never understand why he didn't take Parker. It was the obvious choice. You really don't have a midfield because I've never rated Carrick or Barry.

I want some young guns on. Not likely now, but some greedy up for it lads. Wright-Phillips needs starts for me. That lad can run

A.Young is a better cross than Lennon and SWP, should be there really :/

Forget about the wings, you need a midfield

I had high hopes for Lennon :(

Put your best player on the bench because he's not playing properly. Did he not spend 15 minutes playing out wide left against Algeria?
