Sven set to play 4-5-1, Rooney on his own up front, Carrick in the holding role and Hargreaves pushed to right back in place of the outgoing Carragher

:shake:

Carrick  :thumbs:

Hargreaves  :nono:  :wanker:  :nuts:

hargreaves at rightback is world cup suicide.

 :shock:  id rather have him than carragher in there

i though hargreaves played well on tuesday and i thought carragher was awfull

I must say that the lack of cover we have at right back concerns me. With Carra being a centre-half for Liverpool and Hargreaves playing in midfield for Bayern Munchin', we obviously don't have any out-and-out right backs in the squad to cover for Neville. We have a readymade replacement on the left for Ash Cole, in the shape of Wayne Bridge, so why not right back? Where's Luke Young/Glen Johnson?

3 at the back rio,terry and carragher

Luke Young is injured I think. Dunno bout Johnson.

Remember Danny Mills?  :|

not one of them are good enough,all though in all fairness mills did ok at the last tournie

carragher was very poor at right back. his inability to beat a man (ever) is very clear and going forward he did nothing for us. hargreaves is worth a go there and some people need to give the lad a bit of a break as much of the criticism of him is undeserved and seemingly only borne out of the fact that he plays abroad and alot of ignorami haven't seen him play enough.

i agree with sven putting carrick in too, we'll be a much more balanced side and lampard/gerrard/cole will be able to get forward alot and run rings round their defence.

we need pace at right back thats why hargreaves is playing there

he played at right-back vs belarus and was appaling their left winger beat him every time.

if we want a pacey right back then shove Ferdinand out there and put Carragher in the middle with Terry

3 at the back sounds like a much better plan than that VD

I am disappointed with Crotch’s emission I must admit especially with the lack of height in the Ecuador side.

ferdinand is a demon right back on pes, impossible to get past and has the confidence on the ball to play some decent passes.

worth a shout in real life too i reckon.

Defensively Carragher is good at right back. Offensively he is poor. Can't take people on and has poor distribution. Thought he played better against the Swede's than the T&Ts. Ferdinand would be the same at right back imho.

I just think is strange that we have a squad where we are afraid to use the squad players in their proper positions !

NMH

Whats more worrying is we haven't got a RB anywhere near as good as Mr G Neville. Bloody hell.

thought hargreaves played well against sweden so happy to see him start again... although that was in midfield, not at right back.  reckon crouch will come on for someone in the second half, with luck their defence will be knackered by then.

I can wear my "Carrick era" Town shirt up the pub-wahey!

I'm sure Rio has played there before as well as midfield....

Still as for right backs, when Gary Neville retires we are proper fooked!

And everybody laughed when I said Sven should take Gurney.  I win.
