Pick Your Own

[ThaiPauly]

OK, lets assume that Rooney will not be fit enough to play in England's first game, so what would be your starting 11 if you were the Manager.. (Like we all think we are )

There can be no arguments with some of my selections ..but who would you put in ..instead of the ones I have picked

Paul Robinson

Phil Neville

Ashley Cole

John Terry

Jamie Carragher

Frank Lampard

Steven Gerrard

David Beckham

Joe Cole

Peter Crouch

Michael Owen

So thats my starting line up...who would you put in instead of these?

[nev]

well for a start you have no man utd players,is that bias?

put gary in for phil nev.

put rio in for jamie carragher.

midfield spot on.

dont no about crouch,but we dont have much choice.

owen has to start.

[ThaiPauly]

Sorry I got the Nevilles mixed up.

I am not convinced about Rio still.

I agree about Crouch...no choice

Rooney WOULD be in for sure..so with my mix up with the bruvvers there would be 2 United players in

Sven's got it all wrong.

To utilise our truly world class players we have to play with wing backs (3-5-2)

GK: Robbo

CD: Campbell

CD: Ferdinand

CD: Terry

WB: Beckham

WB: A.Cole

DM: Carrick

AM: Gerrard

AM: Lampard

F: Owen

F: Crouch

Super-Sub: Walcott, Lennon or J.Cole (pace can change a game!)

Guaranteed to win the World Cup if we used these tactics...!!!

There's no way I'd play Ferdinand at the moment. He is consistently being made to look foolish these days, and his mind seems a million miles away. He's not been the same player since the forgotten dope test incident. Carragher over him anyway.

Crouch has done enough in recent games to support a starting role, but he tends to drift out of games if it's not going his way. I'd have that guy Bendix on the bench, just in case.
