I found it from a filter-040
決定擺夏格維斯做後備，正選中場中繼續係雙凸
Steve McClaren looks set to drop 'indispensable' Owen Hargreaves for
tonight's Euro 2008 qualifier with Andorra as he desperately tries to prove
his assertion that Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard are compatible in
central midfield.
With Middlesbrough winger Stuart Downing and Tottenham Hotspur's Aaron
Lennon set to start on the flanks Hargreaves, the man McClaren described as
'the glue that holds the side together' only six weeks ago, will be the fall
guy.
The Bayern Munich enforcer was voted the England fans' player of the year in
the aftermath of the 2006 World Cup and McClaren identified Hargreaves'
absence as one of the reasons his team dropped five points against Macedonia
and Croatia back in October.
It now appears that a morale boosting performance from his misfiring
midfield duo against one of international football's minnows is of utmost
importance.
Lampard is nursing a fractured wrist but seems willing to play through the
pain rather than lose his place during a period when there are deafening
calls for the Chelsea midfielder to be axed from England's starting eleven.
Despite Wayne Rooney's alleged dressing room bust up with McClaren after the
disappointing 0-0 draw with Israel in Tel Aviv on Saturday the Manchester
United striker will again start alongside Andrew Johnson as he seeks his
first competitive goal for England since Euro 2004.
In defence Ashley Cole is back from suspension at left back, displacing
Jamie Carragher, with Micah Richards earning his fourth cap on the right in
place of Phil Neville. Centre-backs Rio Ferdinand and John Terry retain
their places. |
