Wayne Bridge makes himself unavailable for englands world cup

[ono]

Gerrard hasnt played centre for England since Capello has been boss. Barry is probably one of the first names on the team sheet, I'd say his place as the holding midfielder is a lock, especially with Hargreaves out.

Only other options are:

Baines
Warnock
Shorey

Carrick >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Barry

By a mile. If you want to talk about let-downs since joining City, then Barry is the man. How he's a shoe in for England is beyond me. But he is, lol. Baffling.

exactly my reason for banging him over to the left side

Gerrard plays that interchanging centre midfield role for liverpool briiliantly, i just dont buy this whole gerrard-lampard cannot work thing.

Gerrards the superior player anyway and we`ve more than enough talent on the right with young, milner, wright-phillips and dare i even say beckham.

James
Johnson(if not G Neville), Terry, Ferdinand, Cole (if not barry)
Young, Gerrard, Lampard, ?
Rooney, Cole


surely??

Barry is too slow to play left back. He's filled in a few times for us and looked dodgy.

Tell you what though, i'd take Adam Johnson in a flash. He's looked top quality for us. Good with both feet, got pace and skills and decent strength. Top quality delivery from free-kicks and corners. He's really impressed me. He's looked much better than SWP has anyway.
