England World Cup Qualifiers

[Zammo]

That's the last time we'll see Johnson in an England shirt.

[Hoop Blah]

Cleverly - I'm not convinced yet but he has looked like one of the better young midfielders with the technique and style to look after the ball more than we're used to seeing. Is there anyone with a better claim?

Guthrie?

Really? Do you have any serious suggestions?

Team for Friday?

I'd like to see:

Hart
Walker Jagielka Lescott Baines
Gerrard Carrick Lampard
Walcott Defoe A Johnson

Probably won't be, I imagine G Johnson, Terry, Milner and Welbeck will all play.

I would guess that we'll see

Hart
Walker, Terry, Lescott, Baines
Gerrard, Cleverly, Carrick
Walcott, Defoe, Oxlade-Chamberlain

I'd rather see Cahill and Adam Johnson in there, and I wouldn't be shocked if Hodgson went with Lampard (although don't think he will).

[Seal]

Be happy with that team. Possibly the shortest ever England attack?

If nothing else it should at least ensure that "Hart to Centre Forward" isn't our most completed pass.

After ‘Lampard to Terry to Lampard to Terry’. Four-touch special.

Seemed to be ok for Chelsea in the Champs League last season m8

Gerrard and Lampard together again.

I can barely contain my excitement.

Guthrie?

Yes. Guthrie. Maybe a bit early to judge but I think he's going to have a great season, still young and never really had the chance to shine at Newcastle.

Lampard again.....

[cmonurz]

Very refreshing performance this. Even Rother might be enjoying it. Gerrard and Lampard playing a very effective anchor role, and all of the front six making runs forward, typified by Lampard's second, and Ox's break for the third. Good display so far. Cleverley and Ox playing very well.

Why are Moldova even in the World Cup qualifiers?

Shouldn't they have to qualify to be able to stand a chance of qualifying for the World Cup?

Looking decent - no subs as yet - Woy should make some soon.

Carrick for Gerrard.

Good to see you're paying attention m8.

[winchester_royal]

England were excellent first half. Played at a really nice tempo which we haven't seen for a while.

[LUX]

Pleased with the result, but let's not get carried away.
