The midfield is definitely the most average and I'm dumbfounded by Capello not utilizing Sturridge but still, that starting XI, which Seb mentioned is the best XI to pick out of all the players named.

As for Johnson over Walcott and vice versa; I've always liked Johnson and feels he's always been misused at City. I find him a bigger threat on the right wing than Walcott however, Walcott has had more game time. If Walcott started I wouldn't mind but I much prefer Johnson to start ahead of him.

Bolded can fuck off and I hope they're just making up the numbers. I'm content with the rest of the squad.

Hart

Walker
Jones
Terry
Cole

Johnson
Milner/Lampard
Parker
Young

Rooney
Welbeck

I'd go with that team too. Maybe start all 3 of Milner, Lampard and Parker with Welbeck on the bench, but either really. Agbonlahor should be in the squad based on form but sometimes too much emphasis can be put on current form. Villa need him more though as they don't have as many strikers too choose from.

Knowing Capello, he will probably start with:

Hart

Walker
Jagielka
Terry
Cole

Barry
Lampard

Downing
Young
Walcott

Rooney

Or maybe Parker in for Downing and 3 in midfield.

andy carroll

garry barry.

do england ever not pick a team based on reputation/transfer fee?

**D'Angelo** · 10-03-2011, 09:55 AM

i've been over johnson a 100,000,000 times but yeah, walcott not too hard of a pick for me for a starting place. neither are terribly good or effective from a start but walcott has proven over the years he can do it, and he was good for england in his last start.

if carroll starts capello can GTFO.

**Seb** · 10-03-2011, 10:02 AM

He literally did nothing against Bulgaria, and I don't think he played against Wales.

Johnson has looked very promising in an England shirt.

**BkB Hulk** · 10-03-2011, 10:05 AM

Capello rewarding Big Andy with a squad place after having only one good game so far. Dear lord.

**Kiz** · 10-03-2011, 10:09 AM

was that at newcastle?

just saw downing was there.

he should be wearing 24 on his back for the % of accurate crosses he makes. SUPER CROSSER
