I've had more than enough of McClaren. He heralds a new era by dropping Beckham, trying to make a point that life's going to be different under good old Stevie Smug Face then gives us dismal qualifying performances only now to go back on his original intentions by recalling him.

He should never have been dropped from the squad. Maybe the team.

What has exactly has changed under McClaren, at least we won qualifying games with Sven.

David Beckham has been welcomed back into the England fold for the upcoming games against Brazil and Estonia.

Steve McClaren's first act as England manager was to cast the former captain into the international wilderness, but Beckham's excellent form for Real Madrid has seen him handed the chance to add to his 94 caps for his country.

This will be a great cameo role for Beckham before he goes to Amercia. :rolleyes:

Seems fairly pointless to me unless he's actually going to start.

Once he goes to America, the door should be firmly closed for a Beckham return to the England squad.

Exactly. McLaren gave into the pressure from the media and fans. He made the decsion to drop him, he should of sticked to it.

Is Lennon out of the next two games or something? I heard he got injured last night..

Shorey and Bentley also included too...

McLaren just cannot handle pressure from fans and media. He's definitely too much of a 'Yes' man and the FA knew he would be from the minute they hired him... <_<

beckam even said today that they play less games in america than in spain or england, the season is shorter and they get more time off. we have people flying over to brazil for matches who play in england ( further away to fly then what beckam would have to) so why not beckam coming from north america?

and as for maclaren giving into the media as some people have mentioned...

i see an england team struggling right now void of ideas and creativity.. creativity WAS one of beckhams strong points.

Full England squad to face Brazil and Estonia:

Goalkeepers

Robinson (Tottenham), Carson (Liverpool), Green (West Ham)

Defenders

P Neville (Everton), R Ferdinand (Man Utd), Terry (Chelsea), Bridge (Chelsea), Brown (Man Utd), Carragher (Liverpool), Dawson (Tottenham), King (Tottenham), Shorey (Reading);

Midfielders

Beckham (Real Madrid), Gerrard (Liverpool), Jenas (Tottenham), J Cole (Chelsea), Lennon (Tottenham), Bentley (Blackburn), Carrick (Man Utd), Lampard (Chelsea), Downing (Middlesbrough), Dyer (Newcastle);

Strikers

Crouch (Liverpool), Owen (Newcastle), Smith (Man Utd), Defoe (Tottenham).

I think he'll play this team;

Robinson

Carragher

Bridge

Ferdinand

Terry

Lennon if he's fit, if not Beckham

Cole

Gerrard

Lampard

Crouch

Owen

I personally think the squad is looking weak in a lot of areas. At right back, left back, left midfield and up front. I think on paper this team looks like it'd work well;

Robinson

Carragher

Terry

King

Carrick

Beckham

Cole

Gerrard

Lampard

Crouch

Owen

But whether it'd turn out quite so good I'm not sure. In my head, there's three centrebacks with Cole and Beckham on the wings, tracking back when necessary. Beckham tends to cross from deep anyway and Cole will probably drift infield rather than getting to the byline, so getting back to cover shouldn't be too difficult. Lampard and Gerrard would both have license to roam forward, with Carrick sat deep looking to win the ball and make the play. Crouch would play as support striker, deeper than Owen as the main striker.

What worries me is that we don't have an out and out right back in the squad. If McLaren plans on playing Beckham, I think he really needs a right back with him. When Beckham was in his prime he always had Neville to support him. If we play 3 at the back or Carragher at right back Beckham will struggle a lot I think.

Worthy of another thread? No.

Stupid decision to bring him back anyway.

Id much rather have him in the squad rather than Downing any day of the week. By all acounts Becks sounds like hes deserved it.

Would like to see David Bentley play, he's been ace for Blackburn this season. I know he's a right winger but I'm sure he's played left wing before? Certainly would be better than Downing.
