I'd like to see Beckham in and as its been mentioned given captaincy as it will allow Capello a bit of time to asess his squad and choose his captain properly as opposed to just going on club games. Personally I'd like Gerrard to get it full time.

Goalies: 1st - Green 2nd - James 3rd - Carson

Then the usual suspects in defence no real surprises, Richards and Lescott keeping their places.

Midfield: defenalty Bentley and ashley young

Strikers: Get Heskey in for certain up there with owen. others: Ashton, Rooney and Agbonlahor

Gerrard is a terrible captain. Terry and Barry are good club captains but less good at international level but Gerrard is just a poor captain in general. Terry is definately the man for that job but I'm never certain he is our best centreback.

It's a squad of 26 right? I'm hoping for;

Keepers: Green, James and Carson

Fullbacks: Richards, Brown, Cole and Shorey (And I'm hoping some better fullbacks than Brown and Shorey come through, or that I've glaringly overlooked a decent full back or two)

Centrebacks: Ferdinand, Terry, King, Campbell and Lescott

Wingers: Bentley, Young, Wright-Phillips, Cole and Downing

Central Midfielders: Gerrard, Lampard, Barry, Hargreaves

Strikers: Rooney, Owen, Agbonlahor, Crouch and Defoe

Keepers - Robert Green, David James, Scott Carson

Defenders - Micah Richards, Glen Johnson, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry (if fit), Ledley King, Jolean Lescott, Ashley Cole, Stephen Warnock

Midfielders - David Beckham, David Bentley, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Gareth Barry, Owen Hargreaves, Joe Cole, Ashley Young, Jermaine Jenas

Strikers - Peter Crouch, Micheal Owen, Wayne Rooney, Jermain Defoe, Dean Ashton

Got a feeling Jenas will be in the squad, Capello has watched a few Spurs games recently and Jenas has performed well in all of them, Johnson has been in good form for Pompey but i'm not sure Capello has watched himy yet. Stephen Warnock is better than Shorey and deserves to be in the squad.

I can't see Heskey being named.

Really. Elaborate?

Whenever Liverpool are getting bitched, he goes on his one man superhero Gerrard thing. He's so introverted, he doesn't stick an arm round his players, he doesn't gee them up, he's always thinking about his game and nothing else. Yes his driving displays are inspiring but as a captain? Poor. And I've noted that on at least 10 occasions now.

Different captains do it in different ways. Same as managers do i.e some give the players a bollocking, some managers put an arm around them. Gerrard is one that sets the example and forces others to follow. And they do.

To say he is a poor captain is somewhat outrageous i would say.

If anybody disagrees with the decision to put him in this time, then they're mad.

I'd love to see Ashley Young given a real go on the wing.

You expect 90'000 people to show up for an international friendly on Wednesday? :dunno:

Either way it will sound empty.

Probabley not quite 90, Doubt the Swiss will sell the allocation. But yeah I think England will sell out.

He isn't really a vocal person is he? But he leads by example. Sort of like our very own Patrick Kisnorbo. The times he was captain he hardly stuck an arm around players nor did he give anyone a bollocking for below par performances. But again, he led by example, can't fault him for that.

It's going to be tougher for Capello than McLaren because there's a lot more younger talents really pushing for a place in the side this time. I think he could do no wrong by including a couple of them in the first team. It is a friendly after all, a chance to try out these sorts of players.

So here's what I'd like to see:

Green

Richards Terry Ferdinand Cole

Cole Gerrard Lampard Young

Agbonlahor Rooney

I'm still not convinced that Beckham should play if I'm honest. Joe Cole's naturally right footed so he should have no problems playing on the right wing, allowing a chance for maybe Young to get his chance.

I also think Agbonlahor deserves a go. He's been putting in some great performances this season and deserves a chance, expecially in a friendly like this. Also shoved Green in there, wouldn't mind seeing him either.

Dont see anyone has mentioned them.

Obviously they couldnt both start though! :blink:

You could be right - especially if Beckham plays.

A lot of folks will be sad enough to pay good money to watch this game, just so they could say they were there when he got his 100th cap.

Firstly, I clearly remember an interview how he sorted out Luis Garcia against Chelsea for missing a sitter and Luis Garcia came back on and was a changed man. Luis even came out and said Gerrard certainly helped him

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuFSZXFd3x4

Name me one player on the planet who could do what he did that day... No matter how conclusive the outcome seemed, Gerrard produced one of the displays of the century in virtually Steven Gerrard vs. West Ham. Thats one of the reasons why I rate him as the best player in the world (although most will probably disagree). Also Istanbul speaks for itself... The point is, when the team needs Steven Gerrard, hes always there and sets an example for the rest of the team...

Why?

Where was he when England failed? Hiding.

Look at the list of recent incumbents, they were inspirational (for the most part) or simply damn good at being vocal. He was left wanting.

I think he has proved himself to be hopeless at captaining England.

When hes playing in a system run by Steve Mclaren, it doesnt really surprise me
