Let's see your team here.
Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Manchester City), Fraser Forster (Celtic), Ben Foster (West Bromwich Albion)
Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Luke Shaw (Southampton), Chris Smalling (Manchester United)
Midfielders: Ross Barkley (Everton), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Adam Lallana (Southampton), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), James Milner (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)
Forwards: Rickie Lambert (Southampton), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Daniel Welbeck (Manchester United)
Not great is it!!
Would stick with Hart. Replace johnson with Jones and Baines with Shaw.
Would like to see both Sterling and Oxlade-Chamberlain (if fit) play and so too Wilshere (again, if fit). Up front it's pretty much just Sturridge or Rooney I would say. Besides the defence, it is up top that worries me the most. Where is the next Shearer/Linekar/Owen coming from?
-------- Hart ----------
----- Jones Cahill Jagielka Shaw
Oxlade-Chamberlain Wilshere Lallana Sterling
-----------Barclay -----------
---------Sturridge ------------
Would worry about the lack of tackling ability within the midfield there and strength we could most certainly do with a holding midfielder for sure, but I don't think Henderson is good enough and I think we need to rest Gerrard. Squad is very thin.
What I think will happen is that Gerrard will play, have one last really good game and go home a retired 'hero.'
