Ian Royal Lampard has been awful, Carrick may be able to help us retain possession a bit better.


The last few times I've seen Carrick play he has been woeful at retaining possession and is more likely to give it away than Lamps...

Terry, Gerrard, Lamps and Rooney are the big names who need to turn up for this one and prove their worth...Joe Cole in there aswell, as he is the only one in the squad who is able to provide something different and a spark...may aswell go for broke...we need to win...so i'd rather see us go out fighting than the half-hearted cr@p we got against Algeria...whatever the excuse was!!!...

Ian Royal I've gone with Dawson on the basis he might be a bit quicker than Upson and there probably isn't a great deal of difference between them otherwise. And Dawson maybe more of one for the future so better to blood him now.

Lampard has been awful, Carrick may be able to help us retain possession a bit better.


Oh piss off Ian, have you seen Carrick play this season? He's the reason Man Utd got knocked out of the Champions League.

it's no good bringing in inexperienced players for this game. stick with the so called best and get the bloody best out of them!
rumours circulating that capello will quit if england don't make the knock-out rounds.

Well, I wouldn't play a piss poor Lampard who doesn't suit the side at all, that's for sure.

The only good omen I can think of for Weds is that the match is live on bbc and not itv...england always do better when on the bbc... :mrgreen:

I'm sure one of the stattos can look into that and quantify it...

all having crouch up front will do is the same shit of pumping long balls up field from defence like we do to heskey

Rooney on his own will mean we'll have to play the ball through the midfield

Joe Cole HAS to start

Thing is, if you start Crouch, you know he'll score because Slovenia simply aren't that good. It's what he does.

I'dve picked Hart from the start but there you go.

I really don't know what's going to happen.

Heskey has to be dropped though. Honest effort and has played okay int he two games but sadly we need goals not hustle.

Better choice than Green I'll grant you. Think it's harsh to drop James after a perfectly good performance, but it's your call obviously.

James has got one mistake in him if he plays, neither him or Green are mentally strong enough and nothing phases Hart. The rest of the team picks itself.

I think James' early career errors stick to him without justification.

agree to a point. he has always lacked concentration, but he's the best of the three.
