if we can't get a draw against Sweden without Gerrard

        so why did you say this.... (Other Football) - jonah3000, Jun 19, 12:55:03
        
        Because Full strength at the minute does not include Rooney! (Other Football) - conker, Jun 19, 12:59:38
        
        not necessarily (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 19, 13:04:03
        
        Would you say that our best team that could be fielded would include a half fit play then? (n/m) (Other Football) - conker, Jun 19, 13:05:54
        
        in this case, yes (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 19, 13:22:42
        
        If he's better half-fit than the alternatives are fully fit, then yes (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 19, 13:08:59
        
        thats what I thought you meant! (n/m) (Other Football) - jonah3000, Jun 19, 13:01:54
