______________________________________ 11 Ashley Young
10 Dean Ashton
______ 9 Gabriel Agbonlahor
Substitutes:
12 Joe Lewis, 13 David James; 14 Rio Ferdinand, 15 Phil Jagielka, 16 Stephen Warnock; 17 David Bentley, 18 Tom Huddlestone, 19 Stewart Downing; 20 Theo Walcott, 21 Peter Crouch, 22 Jermaine Defoe
So this is the line-up England might come out with, against a lesser opposition in T&T, in which Dwight Yorke might surprisingly feature, Joe Hart might get his chance in goal. Joe Lewis will probably only start on the bench, maybe too soon to start a match, and maybe he might come on in the second half. David James, too much experience already, surely he doesn't need to play this match right? This is the match you start an international youngster, not in a game where you need to at least draw against a rugged European team to go through to a major competition!
Glen Johnson might continue from the last game as a substitute, to being a starter tonight, with Wayne Bridge given a chance ahead of substitute Stephen Warnock to show he's better than Ashley Cole. David Wheater and Jonathan Woodgate should have enough quality to stop T&T, with Rio Ferdinand given a break, and Phil Jagielka might feature at some point.
Steven Gerrard to start? Maybe... And he should partner a sure-starter in Gareth Barry. David Beckham will definitely start, with his armband, and Ashley Young will try to show he's the solution to England's left side problem, and another alternative to Joe Cole. David Bentley and Stewart Downing are sure to come on in the second half, with Tom Huddlestone maybe playing ahead of Gerrard from the start, or coming on for the latter in the second half too.
Dean Ashton will finally make an England appearance. He's height, combined with the pace of Gabriel Agbonlahor, will surely cause T&T loads of problems, and give Capello another option of strike pairs to choose from in the future. Big & Small Combo. Theo Walcott might come on as a winger or a replacement for Agbonlahor, with Peter Crouch more likely to come on ahead of Jermaine Defoe, since the former did not play last week against the U.S.A.
Haha... Sure to be a decent match to watch, no one's showing eh?
Bye~!
