what team would you pick for England
Yeah Bent is a bit of a wildcard. This season is really make or break for him as far as asserting himself as a potential international striker.Jazz 16 said:Nice idea TM, but Im still not convinced by Bent. You want him to lead the line
in your World Cup efforts? I just dont think he is up to it.
It would asle be hard to leave out Lampard, even if him and Gerrard dont play
well together. Other possibles would be Downing on the left (people may laugh
but he has one of the best crossers in the Prem. He is pure lefty as well, so
stick him left wing. Rooney/Owen up top or if Owen is injured Id even consider
someone like Ashton. He is a good player when fit. Or else have Barry on the left.
You are probably right about the strikers. All very good players but not likeTheManc said:Yeah Bent is a bit of a wildcard. This season is really make or break for him as far as asserting himself as a potential international striker.
The problem is our strikers just aren't good enough IMO.
Defoe needs about 5 chances to score.
Ashton just doesn't have the pace IMO and has major injury problems.
Owen has injury problems and he is more of a second striker these days anyway as he's lost his pace and he has never been one to hold the ball up.
Crouch is good althouh we'd become very 1 dimensional with him and I don't think he's ever done it vs the Big teams, though I could be wrong.
Rooney has to play but not as the front man.
Also I think we have to play 3 CM's. 90% of the teams do it these days and we aren't like Spain who can afford to have just 2 cm's because they are technically so good whreas we aren't.
For me Barry is a very good player but he is overrated. A poor mans Carrick if you like.
England IMO have many good players but they just don't have 'it' in that we haven't got a good enough balance within our team.
Jozy Altidore, or Michael Bradley. Bradley is one of the better players in Holland actually. Good goal scoring midfielder. Landon Donovan is also pretty good, USA's all time goal and assist leader.VaVaVoom said:Piazza who is Americas best player at the mo??? Freddy Adu still?
