Says he's 50-50, lets hope he feels ok to play.
Not worth risking him against Paraguay, may as well rest him and make sure he's 100% for the later games.Paraguay are no mugs though, maybe rest him for T&T game, all presuming he's ok to play.
Only he'll know, he's too experienced to play when he's not 100% right. Fingers crossed that'll
be soon.

Yep, I thought that when the media were droning on about Rooney's foot this afternoon. I would have Carrick in for him and let Lampard go forward personally.
I'd do the opposite, drop Lampard for carrick and let gerrard go forward. Or drop Beckham but that would be unthinkable

Gerrard is more important than Beckham for us....
As a Liverpool fan I'm sure Gerrard is one of the best midfielders in the world (in fact, I think it's safe to say England have one of the strongest midfields in the competition), I only hope he can show his Liverpool form in an England shirt - it's something Barnes and Fowler never quite managed.
Whilst I don't think Gerrard has dissapointed for England, I don't think he's ever grabbed a game by the scruff of the neck and driven the team on to great things like he's done for club.
I don't think he's ever had enough freedom in an England shirt to influence a game, so please Sven, don't stick the lad out on the left wing anymore!

Nice link, but it appears Sven's been messaging 606sport under the alias "AO": "If Gerrard's doubtful, play Owen Hargreaves"
Is it only Sven that sees anything in Hargreaves? Whenever I've seen him play, he seems incapable of anything but charging around like a headless chicken and when he finally catches up with the ball, he just tw*ts the thing upfield missing everyone in an England shirt bar the fans in Row Z behind the goals...

I must admit that's how I feel, but he's so well respected in Germany. Especially by the Bayern fans and they are a hard bunch to please apparantly. I think he's a player on the fringe of the squad who doesn't get enough chances to have a bit of a run to settle into the team.
