It would have been a lot funnier had someones boot connected with his face.
 
James
GloJo Cara Terry A.Cole

Milner Lampard Barry J.Cole
Gerrard
Rooney



Milner was brilliant, Lennon is fast and crap and thats pretty much it.
As for rewarding players who got us here like Defoe, Imo he was rewarded by playing the game no room for sentiment here we go with the best team we can play and let them go out and play.

Upson played well today, i was impressed.

I thought he looked like a mistake waiting to happen.

I thought he played well, I was quite surprised, he reminded me of our Carra and he made some great interventions.

Upson is so bad it's amazing he's playing at this level. Constantly made bad choices which the Geermans would have exposed. Luckily Cappello will bring Carra back in.

*chortles*

Yes, you're right.
 
Hmm id like to see more possession and an extra man in midfield to cut out the supply to Ozil and our shakey back 4.

Looking at the personnel available maybe something like:

---------------James
Johnson, Terry, Upson, A Cole
---------Carrick, Barry
Milner, Lampard, Gerrard
-------------Rooney
 
Upson did have a couple of moments, but they were from crap passes froim terry on a nasty pitch. He grew into the game, as his confidence grew.

Id stick with a similar team, as we controlled the game mostly.

Only one thing, was the left winger really rapid, or was Magic running in glue?

He wasn't rapid trust me, Kirm is actually quite slow but never stops running and helps the defense a lot, a bit like Kuyt - just worse and without the goals

I'd expect England to play counterattacking football against Germany. Ghana got in behind their defence quite often, as did Serbia, so we need pace and good movement up front, with solidity in midfield and defence. Defoe is a must, and personally I'd consider Lennon too.


James

Magic - Carra - Terry - A. Cole

Lennon - Barry - Gerrard - Milner

Rooney - Defoe


It won't happen, obv, but that's who I'd pick.

milner just cureled in 3 or 4 beckham like superb crosses from his right foot and you would move him to the left !!!



Lennon does not deserve to recall. Only change I would make is to drop Lampard and play Cole on the left instead of Stevie.

Stevie was magnificent in that game, Lampard just goes into his shell when Stevie is next to him as he is not used to playing second fiddle. I expect Fabio to keep the same team
 
Don't get the praise for Upson from some. I thought he was consistently poor until he partially redeemed himself with one good challenge towards the end, when Slovenia were tiring anyway. Carra has to come back in, and I'd sooner play Dawson than Upson any day.
