Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Manchester City), David James (Portsmouth), Robert Green (West Ham).



Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Jamie Carragher (Liverpool), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Michael Dawson (Tottenham), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Ledley King (Tottenham), John Terry (Chelsea), Matthew Upson (West Ham), Stephen Warnock (Aston Villa).



Midfielders: Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Tom Huddlestone (Tottenham), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Aaron Lennon (Tottenham), James Milner (Aston Villa), Scott Parker (West Ham), Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City).



Forwards: Darren Bent (Sunderland), Peter Crouch (Tottenham), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham), Emile Heskey (Aston Villa), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United).



So which ones would you toss back and which ones are keepers (pun intended)

Some of his selections are a bit odd and he has certainly gone backwards bringing Jamie Carragher into the squad. Although he does have to jettison seven of the named players. Ones to go would be, Dawson, Barry,

Johnson, Walcott, Heskey, Warnock and Carragher.

I'd have picked Beckham even with his dodgy Achilles. )

He lost the plot when he ditched John Terry as captain.

Bill.



Beckham!!



That's probably the reason Fabio didn't consult you! I cant understand on current form why Carlton Cole didn't make the cut. Gareth Barry Rio Ferdinand and Ledley King are a risk gamble particularly when he is already taking a risk with Rooney. Rooney is worth the risk but not RF & LK. He could well have done looking closer at Cahill (Bolton).

I think Dawson is better than Terry and Ferdinand

As much as we hate Heskey HE WILL STAY...



Rooney loves playing off Heskey as have past Engl strikers, so expect Heskey to make the cut....
