My choice:

GK - Stockdale
RB - Richards
CB - Smalling
CB - Jones
LB - Gibbs
CM - Rodwell
CM - Cleverley
LW - Ox-Chamberlain
RW - Zaha
CF - Sturridge
CF - Welbeck

Subs:
Amos
Jagielka
Cahill
Baines
Walker
Shelvey
Lansbury

    I'd like him not to just experiment but go the whole hog and say "Thank you and goodnight" to all our tarnished failures for good. ALL of them: Rooney, Cole, Lampard, Gerrard, Terry, Ferdinand.....the lot!

    Not sure about Zaha, but I'd like him to use players with a genuine chance of making the Euro's, the younger players like Cleverley, Rodwell, and Gibbs. We need to use these games to blood the youngsters otherwise we're just going backwards as a footballing nation. Terry and Lampard have to be finished surely?

    Break the old guard, explain to the nation that the Euro's is preparation for Brazil and we'll be blooding youngsters. Take the pressure off them and just let them try and enjoy playing for England and gain some experience. Done.

    AGREE 100%...

    This would be so good for the nation to watch our youngsters go out and show spirit and heart.

    We would be proud and not dissapointed when we are evicted from the competition.

    The cynic in me is saying he should resist playing the leftback at right back.
    Unlike the future England manager last night

    GK: Hart, Stockdale, Green

    DF: A. Cole, Baines, Richards, Walker, Smalling, Jones, Cahill, Lescott, Jagielka

    MF: Parker, Milner, Gerrard, Rodwell, A. Young, Walcott, Ox-Chamberlain, Sturridge

    FW: Bent, Welbeck, Crouch, Rooney

    Starting XI in bold.


    Hart will keep his place, he's yet to be tarnished by the media for a 'keeping error or being part of a failed squad at a major tournament.

    I also don't think we should be kicking out Cole/Gerrard/Rooney yet, they're all still obviously one of, if not the, best in the country in their positions. Although, considering Rooney's ban for the opening games of Euro 2012, he might be lucky to get on the bench but we have to keep him involved in the squad.

    Finally, I would recall Crouch simply because he's getting regular games again at Stoke and so will be sharp and ready to go, with a great international scoring record.

    I don't think any of the other picks need much justification.

    I disagree with the team selections apart from I agree that Hart should be England number 1 but for this match v Holland we should try Stockdale so he can be our number two keeper.

    I also agree with possibly recalling Crouch.

    HOWEVER, what have Gerrard and Cole achieved with England???

    GET RID!

    Perhaps he's planning to experiment by not naming a keeper in his team... like the first side he picked as caretaker at Forest, when Mrs P had to point out to him when he showed her his starting XI over the breakfast table that he hadn't got anyone between the posts (and possibly even less between his ears!)...

    22 goals from 42 caps suggests otherwise.

    Apart from Hart, Parker and Rooney, I'd offload the rest and build around these 3. I know Parker is getting on a bit but still think he has another 3 years in him

    Hart should be captain as well.

    I agree with trying some youngsters and getting rid of some of the old guard but I wouldn't say get rid of all the experience (thinking towards Euros here more, for friendlies i say use the youngsters).
    One more thing, A Johnson should be in the squad every time for me.
