[JKKne]

Dawson?!

 

[Corax]

Danny Muprhy?!

Murphy's looked very good when he's come on, but hasn't played enough or had enough of an impact to merit consideration imo.

 

[Badgers]

Shearer + 10 others

 

[Relahni]

SWP - fast player - shit at passing and just about everything else.

Danny Murphy - can pass, and do almost everything better than SWP (except the pace thing).

 

[Corax]

Dawson?!

I cannae stand amnesia ferdinand, and I'm getting every Spurs player I can in lol

....& I still wouldn't take Defoe. Shit attitude.

 

[Dirty Martini]

This tournament will need a Toto Schillaci.

Andy Johnson IS that man.

 

[Balbi]

This is how it should be done....

GK: Robbo

LB: Cole, A
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Terry
RB: Neville

DMC: Carrick

RM: Beckham
CM: Lampard
LM: Gerrard

AM: Cole, J

SC: Owen

Subs: James, Crouch, Campbell, Bridge, Bent, Lennon

That's how we play it, Beckham Lampard and Gerrard play narrow, and Carrick Terry and Ferdinand support and cover for Cole and Neville who will provide some width as sort of wing backs.

If we're losing, drawing or winning by a narrow margin around the 60/65th minute throw on Crouch for Carrick and go 4-4-2 with Cole on the left wing. If that still doesn't work, stick on Lennon for Beckham or Bent for Gerrard.

If we're winning by a decent margin, chuck on Campbell for Owen and play 5 4 1 with Crouch on his own up front.

Not a lot to argue with imo.

I'd be a bit wary of relying on Neville to give us width though. He does tend to cross it from the halfway line when he gets flustered.

There does seem to be a lot of confidence being shown in Carrick. Good player, but this is the WC. I wouldn't imagine a lot of teams would be happy landing an international rookie (more or less) with the holding role.

I'm not expecting a lot from Bent either.

 

[Corax]

Sounds dull and predictable to me. Opposing coaches will yawn and kill us off.

 

[g force]

10 over-rated players + Gerrard.

England don't have a prayer.

[The Unseen]

ah lets bring it on, no point guessing the team when Svens in charge, it wont be what ya want it to be. Fuckin dragging!

 

[stavros]

Whilst I'm not sure I'd put in the first choice XI, Corax has a point with Dawson who has been outstanding for Spurs this season and has to be honest making a still very good King look a bit amateurish. Worth a squad place?

Agree with your options but I have no idea why you'd elect to play a very good left sided midfielder in the hole and one of the worlds best hole players on the left, if Rooney is out it gives us an opportunity to play Gerrard and FF alongside a DM so they can both play to their strengths, I'd switch Gerrard and Jokehole.
