he knows his best team - sadly, it has rooney in it

and given he only got crocked at the very end of the season, it's not that surprising we're still working out how to play a whole tournament without him.

Beckham obviously has to play on the right ahead of lennon.

The hard question is who to play in the holding role, if we stick with Crouch as impact sub.

Carrick played there on Saturday, wasn't very good. Carragher and Hargreaves played a half each last night, and weren't very good.

Not obvious to me, anyway.
