playing beckham and gerrard out of position,

which is what you're proposing, and then sticking HARGREAVES in there, will not strengthen the team.

We've got three of the best Central Defenders on the planet so the weakness of the gerrard lampard combo is minimized and can be shored up with a fifth midfielder when necessary.

Even if we had a midfield of makalele + gerrard, we would still have problems when meeting brazil or the argies because we just do not have the same level of attacking quality as them in the rest of our squad.
