Rooney is the suspended for the first 2 games of the tournament so England has to adjust. I'd give Daniel his chance in his prefered role. I know he's played wide right for Chelsea but he played well throught he center with Bolton last season and I think he is a better option than Welback, Crouch, Defoe, Bent, ect
I also think that Terry will miss this tournament with the racism charges he's been acused of so they will need to remake the backline. I'd go Phil Jones and Cahill but Cahill has been on bad form so maybe Dawson, Jagielka, or someone else instead.
Thoughts?
I can't see Sturridge as the main striker. Wellbeck is a much better option as he can offer physical presence as well as technique. I would drop Walcott to the bench, start with a bog standard 4-4-2 with Wellbeck and Sturridge.
Jones would be Suicide.
Smalling should be first choice CB for England. I'd have Milner overYoung.
If Capello is still there Richards wont be playing right back because he never gets called up. Phil Jones is risky at centre back so I would have him at right back with Dawson and Jagielka in the middle Ashley Cole at left back Parker,Gerrard and Lampard in midfield Walcott,Sturridge and Welbeck up front.
His time at Chelsea will be decisive about Cahill, playing for Bolton is one thing, top flight is another.
I suspect, due to Italian link, we will Man City players forming the skeleton.
IMO either Oxlade-Chamberlain or Lennon on the right, and with a differet CB pairing (Jagielka/Lescott or Ferdinand/Smalling)
Oxlade chamberlain hasnt been getting much games lately that could be down wenger not wanting him going to euros
