What's your team selection TT?
Preferred position at CB but has and can play RB.What's your team selection TT?
I think picking a team is hard, but the squad should be forming up nicely by now. I think that as the manager isn't under much pressure this time around perhaps he should go for some long shots and invest in the future.
What we do need is a team with the passion and flair of Liverpool and Everton, currently the two best teams by far with significant British players, many actually English. apart from Hart, Cahill, and perhaps Wilshire I'm struggling a bit to place players from City, Arsenal or Chelsea in the squad.
I think if you took the best from Liverpool, Everton and Southampton you've got more than half the squad.
not sure I'd even choose Rooney.

Johnson's only in because I cant think of a better RB right now?
Id have to agree with that team, people will say Ox or Wilshire should be in but the ox is hugely over rated and wilshire is glass boned.Johnson Cahill jagielka Baines

My only worry is Rooney, he hasnt exactly been in sparkling form and he simply wont be able to sit back and provide the support for Sterling & Sturridge that Suarez does, its against his natural instinct.

Stones had a nightmare playing Liverpool as a RB, but as a CB he is solid. He has been recieving lots of positive press lately as well, with alleged interest from Arsenal and Chelsea, although at the moment Arsenal is a step down.I think picking a team is hard, but the squad should be forming up nicely by now.

Anybody had a go at the squad selector on the skysports website? http://www1.skysports.com/FIFA-World-Cup-2014/engl...
We have a real lack of decent CB's, I didn't really want to pick Jones/Smalling but there's no real choice!
Also difficult narrowing it down to 8 midfielders.

J. Butland
F. Forster
J. Hart
Defenders
L. Baines
G. Cahill
P. Jagielka
G. Johnson
P. Jones
L. Shaw
C. Smalling
K. Walker
Midfielders
S. Gerrard
J. Henderson
A. Lallana
J. Milner
A. Oxlade-Chamberlain
R. Sterling
A. Townsend
J. Wilshere
Strikers
R. Lambert
W. Rooney
D. Sturridge
D. Welbeck

I'm not sure Rooney would get in my starting 11. He shouldn't but we know he will. I actually think he's a detriment to any team and too often goes chasing the ball all over the place. Because of that I'd not start him as a striker at all.Johnson Cahill jagielka Baines

I'd set up the way Liverpool play and put Lallana in the team like you, probably where Coutinho plays. Can Rooney do what Suarez does? I really don't think so. But then it doesn't really matter with Roy. He'll play some crap version of 442 and/or 451.
