England's Euro Qualifiers

With so many injuries to the first team, its going to be a new look for the double header coming up.

Honestly, in the Friendly against Germany a few weeks back, McClaren should have done what Sven did the last time. Experiment with potential players. Its a bloody friendly, make it meaningful by separating the 1 cap players with players that can win games.

I don't know how the training went, but this is the squad England should play against Israel.

Its time to change Robinson. He is no longer the Robinson we use to believe that can replace Seaman. He deserves to be in the squad no doubt, but its time to give Scott Carson a chance to play in goal.

In defense, I believe a Micah Richards, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole will do. Maybe Nick Shorey, but anyone else should not start a competitive game just yet.

The midfield is where it starts to get interesting. We have Beckham, Lampard injured, and Gerrard not in a condition to play as of now. I hope McClaren is smart enough to either not play gerrard or give him nothing more than 45 minutes. I know McClaren would like to play with a flat four, but with the injuries going on, what I would do is play a double left wing position. Best part is, its never done before.

I'm talking about Shaun Wright Phillips taking right, Carrick Centre, Gareth Barry a central role, but free to roam in the left, and a Ashley young running the upper part of the wing. Imagine this, the pace of Ashley Young, supported by Barry and Cole, we've never seen it before and its a good time to try. Hit Israel with something they didn't prepare for. Run the wing deeper.

In attack, I believe Michael Owen should start, and with Crouch Suspended, I hope Heskey starts next to him. He's no goal scoring striker, but no doubt a strong teammate. If things don't work out, throw Defoe of Smith later, or maybe pull Young forward.

I just realize Ashley Young and Ashley Cole share the same first name.

Haha, on paper this should be easy, but its never that simple. To save his job, McClaren should gamble. Its time to do so.
