Martin Lol Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 What team do you think McLaren is going to turn out? He may be saying this is a game we can win and will try to win, but I think he will be very cautious in in his ambition so for me it will be: Robinson Neville/Brown......................Richards.........................Campbell...............................Bridge Barry Beckham.....................................Lampard....................................Gerrard Cole Crouch I think McLaren is petrified of the prospect of failing after the Israeli bonus so he will turn out a team built around experience designed to not lose rather than winning the game. McLaren has proved in the past he has no faith in Defoe so I don't believe he will start, Bent being called up is an afterthought following Owen's injury, so I think Crouch is certain to be the sole striker and how I think McLaren will build the team is built around that premise.

Martin Lol Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I would play: GK: Carson RB: Brown CB: Richards CB: Campbell LB: Bridge RW: Wright-Phillips CM: Gerrard CM: Barry LW: Cole FW: Bent FW: Crouch Apart from the goalkeeper, that's probably the team I would go with (and I have no strong views on the keeper either so I wouldn't argue about Carson). Gerrard and Barry is simply common sense imo, I think everything will come off the rails if we are back in a Lampard and Gerrard playing together scenario. The eleven best players do not make the best team. Unfortunately, I don't think McLaren has come to terms with that yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 IMHO the team should be - ---------------------------------Carson------------------------------------- --Brown--------------Richards----------Campbell--------------Bridge- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------Cole--------Gerrard-----Barry------------------------ ------SWP----------------------------------------------------------Young---- -------------------------------Crouch/Bent---------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't play Defoe. He brought back Heskey in preference to playing Defoe! I don't know why McLaren includes him in the squad tbh, I would opt for Bent ahead of Defoe every day of the week, Bent contributes far more to the team effort.

johnnypd Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 If Beckham plays it'll be an absolute disgrace. > why? Do you think he deserves to play? thought he was probably our best player against austria, not that i'm dying for him to be in the side or anything. more a reflection of how bad we were and how little attacking quality we have in the team. would like to see ashley young given a try as some others have said. and with all this talk in the papers today of terry making a mad dash to return, he was worse than shite in croatia so i hope he misses out.
