Few years ago I would've said Ballack, but while he's still good, I think his game has suffered a bit.

I'd give Gerrard more freedom to drive the game forward and play him with Hargreaves or Carrick sitting back more. Use Joe Cole and Wright Philips or Lennon on the wings and it adds width and speed we are sorely lacking at the moment. Downing is not international standard (from what I've seen).
I think Lampard has had enough chances and f***ed up almost every time in an England shirt. He only performs against lower level nations, so he isn't international class IMO.
Hope Owen can get some speed and sharpness back because Rooney and Crouch isn't good enough, maybe Rooney and Owen would work better.
Just my
but I guess I won't be picking the team any time soon....
