England v Sweden - How will we line up?

[Latics Fan SJK]

Do we believe the latest press bollocks on how Parker or Gerrard may be rested already?

Does Walcott come in to provide a more attacking threat to try to expose a very slow Swedish defense?

Team for me:

-----------------Hart----------------
Johnson----Terry-----Lescott----Cole
Walcott---Parker-----Gerrard---The Ox
----------------Young----------------
---------------Welbeck---------------

I'd stick with Parker & Gerrard. We can't afford to 'rest' players already as Sweden, IMO, is a must win. I'd be much happier knowing we only need a draw against Ukraine in the final game. Plus, I don't want to see Phil Jones in CM.

I suppose we could possibly swap Parker for Milner if Woy does decide to rest one of them.

On the left with a ball boy each.

So long as they don't put me into a coma within 10 minutes I'll be thrilled.

Somebody was going to post it so I thought it might as well be me.

Milner ahead of Parker all day long

I'd play:

Hart
Johnson Terry Lescott Cole
Young Parker Gerrard Oxlade-Chamberlin
Welbeck Defoe

I would drop Milner, didn't rate him against France personally and against a team like Sweden we shouldn't need his defensive duties.

I think Defoe is going to be determined to play well and honour his father, I would play him and see how he does.

agreed. Defoe against Sweden all day.

---------------Hart---------------
--Johnson--Terry--Lescott--Cole--
--Young--Parker--Gerrard--Oxlade--
----------Carroll--Welbeck----------

I'd like to see this, we won't, but it's what I'd like to see. More likely we will play Defoe up top if we were to drop anyone, Milner was average, worked hard though. Young looked shit to me, but I think his diving is a good asset. ;)

 

[GHoddle]

I would probably go with this but I doubt Roy would.

Hart
Johnson Lescott Terry Cole
Walcott Milner Parker Young
Gerrard
Welbeck

Mainly because Young is better on the left and Gerrard is better behind the striker than in midfield.

Expect a near enough the same line up as the France game.
