England All Stars

Is anyone else a bit worried about what’s happening in the England squad?  At first we seemed to be going to Germany with some kind of upside down Christmas tree formation, with Crouch sidelined in favour of Owen as a single striker.  Now it seems that The Swedish One has performed a supercharged handbrake turn round the chicane at Monaco and we’re back to a 4-4-2 formation with Little and Large up front.

So many questions.  Where does that leave Gerrard?  What about Carragher?  Should he have been there in the first place?  Will Aaron Lennon get a look in with Beckham dominant on the right wing?  Will Gary Neville ever smile? 

Who knows?  And that’s the problem.  I know we beat Hungary and that’s a really good thing but this close to the World Cup you’d actually be hoping that we had some kind of solid structure.  Instead it feels like our Sven is still tinkering with the team as if it was some ropey J-Reg Ford Capri he’d won from Frank Butcher in a poker game.

I’m just not feeling settled!
