England Go 3-5-2 For Croatia
Steve McClaren has gone 3-5-2 for the game against Croatia, after a last minute change of heart saw him revert to 4-4-2 against Macedonia. And we all know how that went. Rio Ferdinand returns after injury and joins Jamie Carragher and John Terry in a solid sounding back 3. It’s Ledley King’s turn to be injured and Stewart Downing misses out (he’s not even on the bench…) Gary Neville’s ageing legs will run up and down the right flank, and Scott Parker adds some bite to the midfield.
Line up looks like this:
GK: Paul Robinosn
CB: John Terry
CB: Rio Ferdinand
CB: Jamie Carragher
RWB: Gary Neville
LWB: Ashley Cole
CM: Michael Carrick
CM: Scott Parker
CM: Frank Lampard
CF: Wayne Rooney
CF Peter Crouch

I think Steve is establishing himself as the boss by purposely making less than inteligent decisions. This rocks the boat and tests an alternative formation. He obviously feels England can turn it on later to make qualification certain and is willing to risk points short term.
I agree, c’mon the Neviller as the winger here is just silly, really this is almost a 5-2-1-2 formation and I don’t believe we shall this team play in a non-4 at the back formation when the dust blows over.
