if sven had the balls...

…carrick would be a starter for the England squad in the world cup and owen should be relegated to the bench (yes, you heard it. NO start for him!).
[oh, this is in the light of rooney’s injury, by the way, if you’re unaware of it]

rio [ferdinand] is DEF behind Carragher in the pecking order at the moment as his performances this season does not warrant him a start when there is a better defender who can play with heart.

(my best England line-up)
---------------Robinson------------
Neville-Carragher-Terry-A.Cole
--------------Carrick---------------
Beckham-------------------J.Cole
---------Gerrard-Lampard-------
---------------Crouch-------------

england’s most powerful asset is now their midfield. No question. It is filled with talent and if used well, will dominate the opposition’s. A lone striker in the form of peter crouch will be able to hold the ball and bring the midfield into attack.
With rooney out, gerrard and lampard will now be able to be play in their best positions respectively- roaming midfielders/hole players/behind the striker, everywhere, basically.

this is only possible with the vacated position left by rooney’s injury and if another holding midfielder is introduced to allow both these 2 men the license to attack.

carrick at the back would allow them both to be able to enjoy their best positions without competition. He would unshackle gerrard from defending duties and allow lamps to be always on attack mode.

and why not? Carrick has been excellent and has really excelled this season at Spurs. A deep lying playmaker, he can conjure up the killer balls and guard the back four sufficiently well enough as the midfield to retreats to defend.

england would surely stand a higher chance of triumph utilizing her talented midfielders- joe cole, gerrard and lampard all marauding in attack is definitely be a treat for all watching.

I know many people would say that crouch stinks, but he is more than able to hold-up the ball and link play. If he can do this well, then its game on for him. Also, if the exceptional supply from becks allows crouch to score some goals (think becksàrvn, then Goal!), then it’ll be an added bonus for the team. But even if he doesn’t score, but does a fine job in bringing the midfield into the game, than I’d say again, its mission accomplished for him. I’m sure a midfield with the likes of cole, becks, lampard and gerrard won’t have a problem finding the back of the net if they had good service from a big striker.

others might reckon: owen as a lone striker? Well, he just won’t cut it. Not that I’m criticizing him or anything, but owen is just a different sort of striker- he is built with the qualities of a poacher. A more selfish and direct style of play would mean that the midfield would not benefit much playing off him. And again, england’s most powerful asset is it’s midfield. Depriving their effectiveness means an inferior England. He also doesn’t have enough games in his belt to even deserve a start. A player that hasn’t played a game for more than half a season is nowhere near match sharpness. But, as a super sub, I’d say owen would be perfect. He absolutely fits the bill for this- a speedy hit man on the bench is a luxury any manager would relish. After all, he did bang goals on such a consistent basis when coming off the bench during his time real madrid.

but sadly, come the world cup, england’s midfield will be running at an inefficient state.
owen will start
rio will start
and carrick on the pitch will be a rare sight.
because Sven is in charge.
though all these factors will be to England’s detriment, it will still happen.
because Sven is in charge
with a ball-less boss like sven, he will probably go starting owen with crouch just to appease his stars. He will stifle either gerrard or lampard. He will choose rio (passionless) to carragher (heart). He will be the downfall of England.

so c’mon sven, show us some balls come world cup. Bring on the talents and throw away that boot sucking loyalty that you show to the regulars. When they suck, drop em. When a formation ain’t as effective, change it.

and while you’re at it, bring other talented guys like nolan and lennon [underrated] please!
