England

[Die Bayern]

Judging by the performances in this WC, I find it awfully hard to tell who is the best player in this team..

 

[Samuel Eto'o]

Is Michael Carrick injured?

 

[Jenks]

Left out of the squad.

Difficult to disagree with any of this:

Spot on, on all points.

Yes everything he said is 100% correct.

England captain Steven Gerrard retires from international football after winning 114 caps.

good. everything for Liverpool.

Henderson has to take the 4 jersey now and start every game, he could be crucial to us as an energetic box-to-box midfielder. His midfielder partner is a different matter. When fit I'd choose Carrick no questions asked, but after that I'm struggling. Rodwell? Milner? Chalobah...?

 

[Jenks]

We should have three in the middle. Please no midfield pair.

Yes, Hodgson's 4-4-2 just doesn't work.

 

[Jenks]

I don't think he's used a 4-4-2 since 2012.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Henderson, Wilshere and Barkley seems like a great midfield three, although it might be a bit too attack-focused.

 

[Hamzah]

They are all overrated shite tbh.

 

[xavisionary]

Henderson-Imaginary intelligent defence minded midfielder who is not Michael Carrick
Barkley

Would be a good 3 IMO. Don't want Wilshere anywhere near the pair behind the AM and he's not good enough to displace Barkley. Shame we can't tap the potential of Ravel Morrison, he could provide that spark from the hole behind the striker better than most.

Wayne Rooney is new England captain.
