If we wanted to play 1 up top, how about:
GK: Green
DR: Johnson
DL: Cole
DC: Terry
DC: Ferdinand
MC: Barry (slightly more defensively-minded)
MC : Gerrard
AML: Milner/Johnson
AMR: Lennon
AMC: Lampard
FC: Rooney
1. I'm not Barry's biggest fan, but Carrick is not in good form.
2. Left-wing would be a dilemma: I'm not sure what Milner's like from the left, nor do I think Gerrard really flourishes from there. I'd entertain him from the right-wing though in a 4-4-2.
3. Lampard is our best midfielder at the moment quite easily. As such, play him in his best position.
4. I have reservations over Rooney as a lone striker, even if we did have Lampard and co supporting.
If we went for a 4-4-2, I'd currently probably go for something like what Rich has posted. Lennon however is looking doubtful, so I'd consider Gerrard on the right, Barry/Lampard central and Johnson on the left. Actually, maybe Milner.
