That team would get totally raped, by any team! Far, far, far to offensive. Playing with 5 strikers/wingers and one midfield. Plus Gerrard isn't a holding midfielder, you lose so much restricting him to that. You need Parker in there. If you want two out and out strikers drop one of Ox, Walcott or Young for Parker, or play Young off the striker and drop the other striker for Parker. Glad you're not manager, that team is far too open!

we have to win though, have to!!

Worst team selection ever, Parker was good tonight and is very consistent, why you leave him out to play an attacking midfielder in that role boggles the mind.

Needs to be very much the same team against France, Sweden don't have the same attacking threat so we will see a lot more of the ball and create more chances. But we need to maintain that solid, rigid system.

Yes but that's far too gung-ho! The only change from tonight would be Walcott for Milner to give a more attacking edge. No team in the tournament, no matter how desperate would play that open a team! Sometimes being solid can be the best form of attack. Think Liverpool in the Champions League final, took off an attacking playing in Kewell for a defensive player in Hamann and 0-3 down and got back to 3-3.

Same team for me. I'd also consider swapping Milner for Walcott though - we shouldn't need to be quite so defensive against the Swedes.

What on earth did Parker do wrong?!

Defoe is an impact player at best.

Maybe this actually. Milner got about well and there's a chance we'll need less cover than we did against France. Although Wilhelmsson did look pretty dangerous tonight.

Thats literally my old FM formation

I'd probably go

Hart

-

Johnson - Terry - Lescott -Cole

-

Parker - Gerrard

-

OxladeC - Young - Milner

-

Defoe/Carroll

Pretty much the same, but think that team go do well if they got some more time together; especially the attacking mids

Agree

Hart, Johnson, terry, lescott, cole, Walcott, Gerrard, Parker, Ox, Young, wellbeck. Johnson needs to track back a lot quicker than he did against France, Stevie G had to spend too much time covering him

The news this morning is that both Gerrard and Parker are suffering from their exertions the other night and might need to be 'rested'.

With a combined age of about 92 and recent fitness issues, that is hardly surprising.

Step up.........Jordan Henderson.... lol
