With the exception of Shearer, i am sad to say that team would still not get past a quarter finals!! Not with Tony Adams at left back! GK - Seaman RB - G Neville CB - S Campbell CB - R Ferdinand LB - A Cole CM - D Beckham CM - P Scholes CM - F Lampard AM - M Le Tissier CF - M Owen CF - A Shearer I'm relying on the full backs to offer the width with Beckham moving inside a bit. Not necessarily G Nes best attribute but he can always pull the ball back to Beckham to get the cross in. Scholes adept a dripping a bit deeper and Lampard can then join the attacks although very tough between him and Gerrard. As its a prem all time England 11 I've got Le Tiss in there. A fine footballer. I thought he meant Micky Adams at left back |

Anyone who thinks Stuart Pearce was a better left back than Ashley Cole needs medical intervention. You're entitled to your opinion of course. But when picking defenders, I'd ask one question and one question only. "Which one do I least fancy playing against?" And that answer would be the one with legs like tree-trunks, and the nickname "Psycho"!!! If you still disagree, and believe modern defenders have to contribute more going forward as well, then consider that Pearce bagged 5 England goals, and Ashley Cole 0. This is faintly ridiculous. Staurt Pearce was a blood-on-shirt slogger, a warrior and a good player. Ashley Cole spent many years as arguably the best left back in the world and regularly polls as England's best ever left back. He's a twat for sure but that's not relevant to the question. |
