    There seems to be LOTS of people saying that Mclaren is a useless manager (im one of them) and although sven didnt know much about anything, he got results. Mclaren is clearly not doing well, and his team selections are questionable.

    So, if you were manager of England, what team would you choose or what players would be called up or dropped? Would you recall Beckham or not? Who deserves to be dropped -Lampard etc?

    Personally id drop Lampard from my team, which may give him the kick up his a55 that he needs, and call up Bentley, Barton or Nolan.

    What bout you?

    In all seriousness though;

    Robinson

    Richards
    Terry
    Carragher
    M Taylor

    Beckham
    Gerrard
    Barton
    Barry

    Myself
    Chopra

    I know the names of Taylor, Barton, Barry, Me and Chopra would be very questionable on the international stage, but quite simply, you would get the same quality that we all currently see from England, but the passion and determination to live up to the shirt would be unquestionable, unlike the useless twunts we have to suffer with wasting their time in what they see as just "another paycheque"

    Seems a fair comment to me. Plenty of talent but no gumption as far as I can see.

    Gumption is my word of the day by the way. So far I've used it 6 times.

    Gumption doesn't exist on Wikipedia. Maybe you could create a page on said word. Have you got the gumption to do it?

    Back to the question, I'd dump fat Frank, definately not let Beckham back in, put Foster in goal and make Lennon a starter.

    Crouch etc

    I think Carson is a top keeper and better than Robinson and Foster by a long way. Terry is lucky to stay in, could see him and Ferdinand getting the bullet.
    Agbonlahor is he continues to play for Villa could be a good sub option in the future due to his pace.
