I must admit I can't point to Slovenia on a map. That's something...
Saw this posted on another Forum and can't find a fault with it. Carragher is suspended, ja?
------------------Green
Johnson--Terry--Upson--A.Cole
---------Lampard---Barry
Milner--------Gerrard--------J.Cole
---------------Rooney
England win 1-0 courtesy of a Rory Delap throw or a Lampard 89th minute shot that takes a wicked deflection.

Upson is remarkable in that he's probably the only CB slower than Carragher. It must be Dawson. If Upson plays I'll be even more worried than I am now.
Lampard has to go. Gerrard should get a free role. Joe Cole has to start but if he's struggling, needs to be taken off rather than sticking with it.
If we're going two up front it has to be Crouch with pigboy imo, pigboy off for DeFoe early unless he starts brilliantly. If we're going for 5 in midfield I still wouldn't play Lampard. I'd pick Carrick before him & let Barry go forward.

Right of Italy, south of Austria.
I can point to every country of the world on a map (excluding Pacific Islands). I can also draw an accurate freehand map of Europe from memory. Now
that's something...
Either 1-1 or 4-1. I think Slovenia will fall to pieces if England go ahead late on.

For the first time in 40yrs, not interested after last night.
Lets hope a proper football team win it.

England 1-2 Slobovia. Rooney red card after 60mins giving Slobovia a penalty and the go ahead goal.

---Milner---Gerrard----Barry

PLEASE!
Though I don't think Fab Cap would have the bollocks.
I predict we'll scrape through 1-0

One Milner was bad enough the other night mate, come on.
I'd like to see-
James
Johnson
Terry
Dawson
Cole
Wright-Phillips
Barry
Gerrard
Cole
Crouch
Defoe
Crouch mightn't be the best player in the world, but you can't argue with his International record. Defoe's is pretty good to, and at least they know each other's game well from playing together every week for Spurs. Rooney needs to be taken out of his comfort zone, so bench him.

I'd ring drastic changes. I'd show Rooney that his performance is not tolerated and neither is his attitude.
This is what i'd play.

I don't disagree with your Team - but I don't think we'll see it on Wednesday. Lampard will play and one of SWP or Joe Cole will not.
Crouch must be one Goal in two or something. Often scored against lesser sides but who are Slovenia?

James
Johnson
Terry
Upson
A.Cole
Barry
Carrick
SWP
Gerrard
J.Cole
Rooney
4-2-3-1
Trying to get the attacking players working closer together
Barry-Carrick to try and maintain possession
I don't particularly rate Carrick but lampard has to be dropped and there is no other option there.

Winning combination but won't happen. Lennon, Rooney and Lampard must be benched and I would'nt let Upson or Carrick anywhere near the starting lineup.

That's the one for me I think.
We need to score, so no thnks to two defensive minded players against bloody Slovenia.

I'll mumble this quietly but if he's fully fit, I would go for Carrick with Barry in a 4-2-3-1 but allow Barry to go forward. In the circumstances of Carrick being crocked I'd go for this team above but if Lampard is still wank, I'd get Crouch on rapid & move Gerrard back. Not sure Capello will pick SWP but I'd give him a shot. Lennon is better coming on as a sub. If Milner has shaken off his mystery illness I'd consider him tho, especially if/when Crouch is involved; better crosser.
