Didn't realise how they were seeding next years tournament until yesterday & the importance of topping this group. If we don't we'll be in the 3rd tier of seeds.
Apparently the Top seeds will consist of Austria, Switzerland, Greece & one other expected to be France. Madness isn't it unless you get France! Imagine having France, + Italy or Germany in your group? The 4th team at this rate could be Spain, Portugal, Holland or Czech Rep - we'd get stuffed in all 3 games!
MrLucky will no doubt get Austria, Sweden & Turkey & still balls it up....
Need a big performance Wednesday & due to recent form, I'm recalling Lampard!  My team to send them home.
..........Carson
Richards....Brown...Campbell...Bridge/Cole (either will do)
Gerrard.....Barry....Lampard....J.Cole
.........Crouch... Defoe
No point in playing Crouch on his own, it's worthless. Maybe Gerrard up there with him but not on his own..

Rumours we're going with:
......................Robinson.................... ...
Nev or Brown...Richards...Campbell...Bridge
Beckham.......Gerrard.....Lampard......Barry
.......................Cole....................... .....
.....................Crouch....................... ...
Please no!
I'd prefer a midfield of SWP, Gerrard, Barry/Hargreaves, Lampard, Young
Then have Bent upfront who actually knows how to play as a lone striker

.................Crouch
I don't really have a problem with that as Crouch would have loads of support, but surely we should just stick 4-4-2 seeing as everyone except Frank plays that way normally

I'd go with:
...........................Carson................. ..........
.................................................. .............
Richards.........Terry..........Campbell.......Bri dge
.................................................. .............
..........................Hargreaves.............. ........
.................................................. .............
Wright-Phillips.........Lampard..................Cole
.................................................. .............
............................Gerrard............... ..........
.................................................. .............
............................Crouch................ ..........
HOWEVER...I predict:
a.) Robinson will be recalled :erk:
b.) Beckham will play for his "experience" :doubleerk: - not counting the fact that he's jet-lagged, out of practice and played crap the other night

I don't know why people are getting so worried tbh? Croatia, at Wembley, with nothing to play for apart from 'seeding'. If they can't win that game, and comfortably, well....................
