England will feel not much without Bent, they still have Defoe, Rooney, Crouch and (Carroll?)

 

[Jack Fulham]

Step up Jay Bothroyd :wub:

 

[brianpullen]

Defoe and Rooney won't play

Walcott will start up front with Crouch, Davies and Carroll on the bench, and MAYBE Bothroyd

Bent has got to be one of the unluckiest players when it comes to the internationals games. If he has not been ovelooked for the England squas he now gets injured when he is picked.

 

[WonderManager]

The most unlucky player for international games is Ryan Giggs

 

[CJACKO11]

its a shame he is either injured when a England game comes up or gets injured on International duty. I don't think Capello should pick Rooney for the same reason he shouldn't pick Lampard they haven't played any minutes. I think the 4 he should pick at the moment are Crouch, Carroll, Davies and Walcott.

 

[Ed Syers]

Bit of a crisis for England, considering Davies and Carroll are probably gonna be in the squad, but tbh I don't really like him playing for England as a Sunderland fan.

 

[CJ]

More importantly....

He's out for the Spurs game tonight

 

[DMF]

Don't think he'll take 3 target men and Walcott as the 4 strikers tbh.

Reckon he'll take Rooney, Carroll, Crouch and Bothroyd. He'll stick with Walcott on the wing I reckon..

 

[ravenie]

Sorry but since when did Bothroyd come into the picture?

 

[Shay Given]

Don't think he'll take 3 target men and Walcott as the 4 strikers tbh.

Reckon he'll take Rooney, Carroll, Crouch and Bothroyd. He'll stick with Walcott on the wing I reckon..

What about Davies? he done well against spurs when capello was watching

 

[DMF]

He said he was going for youth in this game, which is why I don't see him taking Davies.

Ravenie, Bothroyd came into the picture since he's scored 12 goals this season and is young and English and in great form.

 

[ravenie]

But whether or not he can play well in the top league let alone for England?

 

[DMF]

That's why he's going to experiment in the friendly and not in a competitive match..
