No but he's had to sit back and reign himself in to allow Lampard to roam.

Give him freedom and he'll be one cracking outside bet for the golden boot. You heard it here first folks.

Dave is right, cant play Lamps and Gerrard in the same team....means one has to shelve their game for the other one...

It's the perfect opportunity to put Carrick in and push Gerrard on, what with Rooney being out(seeing as he'd never drop golden balls).  Still he's already come out and said if Rooney doesn't make it he'll probably play Crouch and Owen together :doh:

Gerrard & Carrick in the centre for me.

Lampard and Gerrard dont play well in the middle together so i'd drop Lampard.

You can't drop Lampard whose been our best player for ages.

Carrick & Lampard in the centre with Stevie pushed forward.

my ideal team would be with 3 centre backs ..we have arguably the best midfeild in the world so why dont we maximise that?? even more so in about two years everyone slags off gary neville but anyone actually see any decent replacements coming through

Luke Young......Glen Johnson, if he ever leaves Chelsea....

I agree with your point though, 3-5-2 sounds good

How many teams in the premiership use three centre backs?

I think it's a lot better to have two centre backs and someone like Carrick as a holding midfielder.

There's no way Lampard should be dropped. Gerrard could be good in that role for some games and definitely if neither Owen or Rooney are fit.

none ben your right..but our strongest positions are in centre defence and midfeild..our problems occur when we try to make things work by putting luke young or carragher as a right back,if cole was not fit we would have a poor wayne bridge.. just think of the centre halves we have now and coming through  terry,ferdinand,carragher,woodgate (if fit).king,dawson,ferdinand even curtis davies and look how yound that lot are..we have allways struggle defensivly at tournaments and with this lot of players coming through this should not be the case anymore..oh and ben how can you compare international football to the premiership

I just mean our centre-backs (and alos most of our other players) aren't used to playing in a 3-5-2 although I'm sure they could adapt. I think the reason 3-5-2 isn't used too much now is because more and more teams are playing with one up front.

Id like to see Gerrard in that floaty role off the front player for England .. worrying about the cramps he got tho ... wouldnt be good in extra time v Germany say

Can't be arsed with defence...
Without Rooney:

           Lampard   Carrick
Beckham                         Cole

                       Gerrard
                 
                  Crouch/Owen


Seems to be the genearal agreement then.


In an effort to turn this tread into a beckham debate, I'd go..
With Rooney:

            Lampard        Carrick
Gerrard                                Cole

                          Rooney
                  Crouch/Owen


Sorry about the slightly off layout, couldn't be arsed to line up all the spaces.
