would have preferred Johnson to make it over SWP
Barry fit is nice
they can now use the 4-4-2 with either Heskey or Crouch up front with Rooney
but also be well equipped to go to the 4-5-1 with Gerrard or Cole supporting Rooney up top against the better teams, which turns in to a 4-3-3 or even a 4-2-4 when they have the ball. Man U plays a 4-5-1 and Rooney managed to score quite a few goals this season if I remember correctly
Walcott's omission is the biggest surprise of the day
and Rooney loves the big tournament stage, don't know how someone can't be sold on him after Euro 2006. More worried about Lampard, and to a lesser extent Gerrard, who seem to play 100x better for club than country
