With Redknapp in charge not sure Richards will be much better off. Can see:

Walker-Smalling- Ferdinand - Cole

With Jones, Johnson, Dawson, Cahill as back up

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

--------------Hart

Richards, Terry, Smalling, Cole.

O-Chamberlain, Wilshere (if fit), Parker, Milner

--------Sturridge --- Welbeck (Rooney after ban)


Bench:

Keeper,
Walker,
Jones
Rodwell
Gerrard
Crouch
Walcott

Little bit of experience in there, with alot of youth. they are the future and they may as well play now, because we know we wont win it anyway, so sod it, blood the youngsters at a major tournament (Germany -2010) so that when the next one comes around, they may be in with a reasonable shout.

Smalling is not good enough, he will be mid-low table again in the next few years.

Smallings been excellent this season, I would go with -

Hart
Richards Smalling Lescott Cole (final tournament)

Wilshire Milner

Chamberlain/johnson Gerrard Young/Sturridge

Rooney

I'd play Terry. He's alright if you defend deep. So play the defence deep and hit teams on the counter attack.

The England team should play the Premier League way. Too often Capello tried to get England to play possession football, it doesn't suit us and we should use our pace.


......................Hart

Maybe Milner for Gerrard, if he's not fit.

It will be a big surprise if Richards doesnt get an opportunity now.
I suppose you could argue that Harry might pick Walker but we all know who is really the best right back and i'm sure Micah will make squads.
As for Lescott, he does split opinion on here. He does have his critics and although I think he deserves a place in an England squad, i;m not sure he would be first choice against quality opposition.

 

[Ntini77]

Richards, King, Lescott, Baines

 

[brian the blue]

I'd go:

Richards--King--Jones--A.Cole

 

[mcfc-mark]

If I'm completely honest I'd rather it was

Walker- Terry- Ferdinand- Cole

Couldn't give a toss about England, I'd love them to leave all the City players behind
