It seems that Sven is stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea - if he doesn't play Lampard then he gets slated. I would (in my limited fooball knowledge) play Gerrard and Butt in Centre Mid (Butt holding role) and then Becks on the right and Dyer on the left. The problem with England is that we have too many good centre mids and not enough challenging right and (esp.) left midfielders. Also I would play Scholes just behind Owen. Rooney is good yet he isn't that good yet.....of course, this is just opinion and I am probably wrong....the defence is the best that we can pick from.

I wouldn't worry too much...no player wants to put too much into a friendly and sustain an injury that would rule em out of the Euro's. If I remember rightly we did bad against the warm-up oppositon before Euro 96.....and look what happened there?!
