If Barry is fit, you’re probably right.

Very, very similar to my preferred eleven. Dawson/Carragher is much of a muchness and I would start with Gary Barry but be more than happy for Carrick to fill the role if necessary.

PLEASE FABIO, PLAY JOE COLE!

With Terry and Carragher or Dawson (surely not Upson) England will lack pace in the heart of the defence, but will have defenders who put their bodies on the line, and crucially, read the game well. I think Capello will have to play Carrick as a holding midfielder which means there’s no room for Lampard and Gerrard. Unless.. you play Gerrard as a support striker behind Rooney (the one thing Rafa got right at Liverpool). No room for Heskey, but massively increased goal threat.

My line up would be:

James
Johnson Terry Dawson Cashley
Lennon Carrick Lampard Joe Cole
Gerrard
Rooney

‘his lack of pace was almost comical! ‘. The anti-Liverpool brigade have made an early start I see…
