Posted November 22, 200717 yr You'll all be delighted to know that I got a call from the FA this morning asking for my advice on how we should all move forward following last night's shame. After I told them that they should start by sacking themselves, I suggested that the only way forward would be to give up on the home nations structure and put together a British team. Having been swiftly appointed manager (you'll all read about it tomorrow), I now need to assemble a first team. I was thinking of the following: GK: Taylor (NI) RB: Richards CB: Terry CB: Ferdinand LB: Hughes (NI) RM: SWP CM: Barry CM: Lampard LM: Giggs (W) ST: Rooney ST: McFadden (Sc) Waddya think?
November 22, 200717 yr Not a bad team. I would, however, change Taylor for Given and I dont think SWP is an international player, all though for the life of me I cant think who to put in his palce.
November 22, 200717 yr Goalkeeper seems to be the most contentious position as I would opt for Gordon. Iwould also be tempted to go with Scott Brown ahead of Barry.
November 22, 200717 yr Also it is a team that lacks a natural orthodox goalscorer however with Owen's perpetual injuries that is something we are lacking in GB just now. If he could just do the business at domestic level then healey would definitely be in with a shout. Kenny Miller on the bench to play against Italy

No David Healy the guy has scored 13 Goals and all of them screamers!
November 22, 200717 yr Best I could come up with: - ------------------Gordon Hutton-----Richards----Terry------Bale Brown----Ferguson----Lampard---Giggs ------------Healy-------Ashton Squad players: - Bridge, Lescott, J.Cole, SWP, Barry (England) Alexander, Webster, Burke, McFadden, Boyd, Miller (Scotland) Taylor, Gillespie, Shiels (N.Ireland)
