I would drop Lampard and play...

Parker or Carrick (I know neither are in this squad) alongside Gerrard. I think Gerrard plays his best when alongside a holding player (usually Hammann for Liverpool). Sven's determination to squeeze all his good midfielders into the team, whatever the formation, pisses me off (and Paul Scholes' too it seems).
