Going by Woy's formations and style of play and his preferred players at the Euros.

Only 2 central midfielders is far too light especially when you have Gerrard, Lampard, Barry, Parker, Milner, Wilshire, Henderson, Cleverley, Shelvey all wanting to play there and good enough to.

England are really light at Centre-Back now that Ferdinand and Terry's international careers are over, and Lescott's not getting any younger at 31, likewise with Phil Jagielka who would be third choice.

Plenty of strikers are available, Rooney, despite being useless, will be in the England team till he retires, Andy Carroll could make a comeback at club level one would hope, and it will be interesting to see how Sturridge and Welbeck do in the future, especially now Sturridge has mvoed to Liverpool! Jermain Defoe, Peter Crouch and Darren Bent provide more options too.

Wingers are limited. Ashley Young's always talked about but has done nothing recently and was awful at the Euros despite playing every game. Milner should be used in the middle too. Walcott's been improving this season scoring and assisting more, so he's at right wing, Adam Johnson is under performing too and never really was as good as it was made out. Aaron Lennon is never picked for England and he doesn't offer anything other wingers don't in my opinion, great little player though. Stewart Downing is the only actual left footed winger we have. Hopefully his pick up in form for Liverpool can get him his England place back where he was so good in 2011-2012 in the Euro qualifying.
