England Squad

Goalkeepers: Robinson (Tottenham), Foster (Man Utd, on loan at Watford), Carson (Liverpool, on loan at Charlton).

Defenders: G Neville (Man Utd), Richards (Man City), Ferdinand (Man Utd), Terry (Chelsea, capt), Woodgate (Real Madrid, on loan at Middlesbrough), Carragher (Liverpool), A Cole (Chelsea), P Neville (Everton).

Midfielders: Gerrard (Liverpool), Hargreaves (Bayern Munich), Lampard (Chelsea), Lennon (Tottenham), Parker (Newcastle), Carrick (Man Utd), Dyer (Newcastle), Downing (Middlesbrough).

Forwards: Johnson (Everton), Rooney (Man Utd), Defoe (Tottenham), Bent (Charlton).

No big surprises in the squad. Glad Nugent and Barry are now called up I expect the team to be...

ROBINSON
CARRAGHER//FERDINAND//TERRY//P.NEVILLE
GERRARD//LAMPARD//HARGREAVES//LENNON
ROONEY//JOHNSON

I predict a good solid England performance and a 2-0 win.

I can't see us winning this. Given that we lost to Croatia, and our team is alot weaker, I cannot see us putting up a big enough performance to see off the Israelis.

1-0 victory to Israel

It will be good to see Lennon get a start for the first time. I just hope he isnt stuck on the left the whole match though.

2-1 England for me

1-1 for me

england's gotta do it this time!!! Lets not give people a chance you call us overrated. Drop Lamps and we are good

I guess it depends on the formation we use. With that 4-4-2 that SL posted at the top of this thread, we'll get a draw, probably 1-1. Not ruling out a win, though. Especially not if Defoe comes in :p

I still think that gerrard in the middle is better than that lump-of-LARD . Honestly he has done everything to deserve being dropped.

DC76 · « **Reply #7 on:** March 20, 2007, 01:42:41 AM »

Gerrard on the flank seems just a bit odd to me. I'm used to seeing him as a CM or CAM.

Rob · « **Reply #8 on:** March 20, 2007, 01:58:42 AM »

yea. Lamps has done nothing as of late which should justify his selection in the 1st eleven.

Biggs · « **Reply #9 on:** March 20, 2007, 09:00:46 AM »

i think they should drop him

Daniisco · « **Reply #10 on:** March 20, 2007, 10:46:53 AM »

I hope they don't put Lennon on the left after his showing against Chelski.

Rob · « **Reply #11 on:** March 20, 2007, 04:25:51 PM »

why do I get the feeling that England is going to run riot ?

SpursLad · « **Reply #12 on:** March 20, 2007, 05:08:49 PM »

I'm not sure McClaren will start him after that showing. He will prob put Downing or SWP out there. I bloody hope not though.

More incentive to win for England is that they would have an easy three in the next match against Andorra (on the 28th) so they could test some new players out and rest the "big namers." That way, England would have some momentum coming out of the March matches.

COME ON ENGLAND!!
