Goalkeepers:
Hart

Lampard
Carrick (scum)

Strikers:

It was a tough choice between Downing and Young, but Downing and Milner have made Villa this season, theyve been class, whilst Youngs form has been patchy.

Starting Line Up:

Green

Richards
A.Cole

Lennon
J.Cole/Downing (cant decide, might need Downing as a pure left winger to nail them in for Crouch)
Lampard
Gerrard

Thoughts on Dawson going as a centre half? Also Scott Parker as a central midfielder?

NO & NO

Neither one should be making the squad

[gatso]

parker- certainly good enough but it's hard to see him impressing the boss in the right way whilst in a relegation dog fight
dawson- highly unlikely, if there's a position you want experienced players in it's cb, can't see anyone new breaking through now

[mondatoo]

Unless Scott Parker has improved a lot since he played for us which i suppose is pos he's defintly not good enough and I'd put half the midfielders in the prem ahead of him, he was so one dimensional for us.

[action man]

thoughts on becks being in the squad for his experience and presence?

[action man]

Bh, upson is an absolute animal in the air, he wins absolutely everything. He would die in there.
Gabby is about the fastest and most raw striker ive seen for years, his pace wuld cause so so many problems.

[Josedinho]

Dawson - shouldn't get in the squad if everybody is fit but i think he's behind Cahill and Shawcross even if we have injuries.
Parker - no chance. He can't play the holding role and is miles behind the options we have going forward.
Beckham - he definitely be there for me. Experience. Can put a quality ball in with 20mins to go if we need a goal. It'd be between him and Milner as reserve right back as it's a position i wouldn't double up on.
Agbonlahor - I think he's hit and miss and his pace could be lethal but he's not in my squad as if Rooney isn't fit i go with Crouch and Defoe as they've formed a partnership at Spurs and i still want owen there as if there is anyone in the world i get to pick to take a chance to win the world cup it's him.

he'll be in the squad on merit, noone else has the same ability to deliver a ball. his experience/presence will be a huge bonus but not the reason he's there

I doubt Ashley Young will get in the squad, let alone the starting line up, He has not played well all season, Capello seems to pick players that are in form and not on past performances.

[pleno1]

Dawson is really reliable, he is 100% commited and could be a good back up centre half, definetely better than Richard/Lescott/Jagielka. Scott Parker has drive, similar to Gerrard really, he is in top top form at the moment in a weak West Ham team. Should be ahead of the likes of Hargreaves/Wright Phillips/ Jenas.

How about Tom Huddlestone I think he is better than Gareth Barry, unreal distribution - his range of passing is sick. Better goalthreat than Barry and also bigger/stronger.

Ive never been a fan of taking 3 keepers, it basically just takes an outfielders spot.

Ashley Young has been poor for the last few games, before that he has been vv good. I see him as the best left winger England have. What are the options Downing? Cole? Milner? I'd take Young over them every day. Just my imo of course.
