Rooney's been utter dross for England for at least 3 years now. Has to be Heskey and Owen up front because that combination actually scores goals.

Had a good game for the U-21s the other day. Knock it anywhere upfield and he'll get there first.

Yeah from what I've see the bloke's got speed to burn (tbf, have only seen him play 2 times on telly, rest has been ut00b/highlights). Certainly couldn't harm to at least give him a crack afaic, especially when the team is obviously struggling to find a way through opposing defences.

Play Sturridge imo.
Tom Halsey
International Coach
Don't watch us play very often then...
Whether or not you would pick Carrick for England (I would personally, though I recognise it's not a closed issue), no sane person could have watched the last couple of years and come to the conclusion that United don't need him.

Word out, shocking Carrick bashing. If you didn't rate him highly before United signed him (i for one didn't), you just got to now. One of the best examples of this was in the CL semi-final vs Barcelona @ OT that i was at & he along with Scholes really controlled the mid-field ahead of Xavi, Toure & Iniesta. Since then i was convinced he has moved on from the square passer that he was at Tottenham to United (and hopefully one day England's) version of Pirlo.

Well for English players in the prem its either him or Scholes ATM.

Should pick Beattie imo. Don't care if he's only carving up the Championship, good enough for me.

Heskey did play on the left of midfield on occasion, so that might skew some of his apparent partnerships.
Not really surprised Crouch + someone fast has lots of goals, although that again is skewed by involving some rubbish opponents.
On the other hand England have played plenty of rubbish opponents without Crouch playing and have struggled.

Only went back to the start of 2002. Heskey's main time would've been slightly before that.

Just Setanta, which is handy because i have Setanta and not Sky.

Exactly why I chose those words. TBH, I noticed him more when he played for Spurs but he played a different role then. as Towns said he just brings an extra dimension to the attack. Not the best in defence around but he can hold his own and Hargreaves is there to pick up the slack. Also, with the passing ability and vision he has he'd be awesome to pick out the runs of Cole and Rooney and might link up well with Gerrard playing him some nice through balls.
