In Response to Re: ENGLAND STARTING X1 (OF ALL TIME)... : Gary BIG STEAMING PILE OF Linaker... I use to watch him when he played for Leicester and he never really contributed that much as a team player. Bit like Alan Clarke,a goal hanger... Posted by STEVEMAX
Im assuming all those who have put walcott in there team are Irish/Scottish/Welsh/anything but English, and that you want England to fail????? Forget the Croatia game, hes the most over rated player ive ever watched. Hes got pace and nothing else, his passing is truly awfull.
Everyone keeps going on about Arsenals Injuries, yet he still cant make there starting line up, Eboue keeps him out ffs that shouldtell you all you need to nkow about him.
Anyway moan over heres the team id play:
Hart Neville Ferdidnand Terry Cole
Lennon Carrick Millner Cole
Gerrard Rooney
Think its very sad that ive had to include neville in the team, I am a United fan but havent chosen him for that reason, Johnson started the season on form but since the first 10 games hes done nothing, and looked very average. Neville has had a good season barring the last 2 weeks, and I hoenstly believe hes still Englands best right back (sorry dohhhh). Dont like playing 1 up front either and a few motnhs ago id have picked defoe to play alongside Rooney, but hes been of the boil recently as well, and the rest of our strikers are trully shocking. Bent scores the odd goal but does ntohing else all match, Heskey doesnt know how to score, Zamora??? wot a joke hes not even in double figures for goals is he??? yet ive read all season how fantastic he is, Crouch??? greta England record cant deny that usefull to have as a sub.
But I very much doubt that team will get a look in and fully expect the following 11 to play if fit
Green Johnson Ferdinand Terry Cole Lennon Barry Lampard Gerrard Heskey Rooney
We may make the quater finals but cant see us doing any better than that with that team, but i do pray im wrong
SUBS - Need to be able to make a difference --- Bent - Zamora, need chances - they cant make thieir own. so...
Green
Upson
Walcott
Joe Cole
Crouch
Defoe
The thing with the squad is....even though he picks 22 players or whatever it is - 6/7 of them wont even get a look in - Migt as well leave their boots at home.
He could take Bent, Zamora, SWP, theyre just nothing players, they dont make an impact off the bench and theyre never gonna start.
Last time we were a goal down against Brazil - with 11 players against 10, and we didn't create a chance, no options on the bench, no plan B.
Darren Bent is not a plan B, he's just a poorer (MUCH POORER) version of plan A.

GARY LINAKER
i don't think that crouch should be automatic choice as i feel he is Over-rated "just my oppinion for what its worth"
My team would be
R.Green
G.Johnson J.Terry R.Ferdinand A.Cole
J.Milner
S.Wright-Philips F.Lampard S.Gerrard
Rooney Defoe
