Bloody hell Sven, why do we have makeshift defensive midfielder Alan Smith in there instead of Scott Parker? Christ, that really, really irritates me. Seriously, what more can he do? He is vastly more talented in that position that Smith could ever hope to be.

Unlikely. I can't really see Woodgate getting a regular England place especially not before the World Cup. Shame he's been out for ages and is now injured again as he would have been a great asset to the team.

Nope. For a central defence berth he's always going to be behind Ferdinand and Terry, and that's when Campbell has retired. Add in Carragher playing just as well, for a lot longer, and the fact that if Woodgate ever gets fit for a prolonged period of time he's a more accomplished defender than King - just don't see it.
And his little run in defensive midfield won't last long either. No way he's playing Ledley King in midfield for the World Cup. So it worked against an awful awful team once. Big cheers all round. Parker/Hargreaves all the way. If that's even how the formation goes.

English midfielders playing better than Jens this season so far:
Lampard
Gerrard
Parker
Carrick
Nolan
Danny Danny Murphy
No chance for Jenas ever. Wahey, he scored against Man Utd. Jenas typifies what is wrong with Sven's selection. He just decides Jenas should be there, regardless of how well he's playing. Not a single person could say with a straight face he deserves a place over Danny, or even Nolan.

Hate to copy exactly what Mav said, but "another"? He rarely puts in a performance above mediocre. He's done nothing worthwhile ever.

Jenas isn't very consistent and I can't really remember an outstanding England match performance from him. King on the other hand deserves a starting spot as at the minute he's far better than Ferdinand and Campbell and I can see him being a regular for many years to come.
I think Jenas deserves a place based on his performances so far. I don't really like him, but he's played pretty well. Not sure about him over Parker, but I won't complain.
King too has been fantastic so far this season, and to be honest, I'd play him over Rio currently, and perhaps even Campbell. He's been faultless against United, Arsenal and Bolton, and deserves a shot.

As much as I'd like Crouch to play well I can't see it happening.
And go on Crouch, prove Stryke wrong by turning in another fantastic performance.
Carra's out as a precaution, according to liverpoolfc.tv. Good.
