England vs Switzerland

[Pubey]

Pretty important game, but it's still early days and I'm sure Capello will want to look at a variety of players and combinations.

However, what would your (best) starting 11 be tomorrow, or who would you pick if you were boss, from Capellos squad?

Carson

Richards
Rio
Woodgate
Barry

SWP
Gerrard (c)
Hargreaves
Ashley Young

Rooney
Owen


Joe Cole misses out on his poor form recently for Chelsea, Owen needs goals and Crouch induces too much hoof ball. Barry is at left back just because Cashley and Bridge have both been shocking in recent games for england (even though bridge has been playing well for chelsea... his performance against croatia was probably one of the worst games ive ever seen anyone have in an england shirt)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

James
Richards Ferdinand Woodgate Cole
Bentley Hargreaves (c) Barry Young
Rooney Owen

Beckham, or if he isn't fit, Lennon, would play ahead of Bentley if in the squad. Joe Cole might even be given a central role ahead of Barry if that midfield is too defensive.

James
Richards Ferdinand Woodgate Cole
Bentley Hargreaves (c) Barry Young
Rooney Owen

I'd go with that too. Though not sure who I'd make captain. Possibly Barry.

I thought Gerrard has already been named as Captain?

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Who is this Barry Young you all speak of? :D

Just been confirmed, unfortunately.:fury:

Hopefully he'll stop sulking and start playing.

Incidentally, England have lost something like 4 of his 6 games as captain:eek:

Good. Lets see if he steps up and brings his outstanding ability to the international area this time around.

agreed.... everyone has a clean slate, it's time for Gerrard to step up

"Steve Gerrard, Gerrard
He overhits passes by 40 yards
He sulks and gets the mard
Steve Gerrard, Gerrard"

Doesnt really matter who plays, they are all as useless as each other.

Overpaid idiots

New manager, same players, cant see anything changing unfortunately. Be surprised if we qualify from our group. No decent goalies, only 2 good but injury prone stikers.
