Lampard was terrible... again.

Just face it, he's over rated and we have played a lot worse recently when he's on the pitch.

Drop him and bring in a more defensive minded midfielder (Carrick/Hargreaves) so we can push Gerrard up.

Hargreaves is injured but I'd be inclined to give Carrick a crack - Estonia will have at least ten men behind the ball for most of the game and his incisive passing would probably be more of a weapon than Frank trying to lumber forward.

Does Shorey play on the right?

I'd be inclined to keep the back four fairly similarly, possibly bringing Brown in for Carragher.

While Carra deserves a shot in his favoured position you'd have to assume McClaren will go for King as a more likely option to link up with the midfield.

Other than that, spot on.

Firstly, Lampard needs to be dropped, for his own good as well as for the entire team. He is clearly struggling and needs a bit of the hard shoulder.

The word going about is that Crouch is playing, so I think we should go with this:

--------------Robinson-----------

Carragher---Terry---King---Shorey

--------------Carrick------------

Beckham--------------------J Cole

--------------Gerrard------------

----------Owen-----Crouch--------

If you want a Plan B, why not try a 451:

--------------Robinson-----------

Carragher---Terry---King---Shorey

--------------Carrick------------

--------Beckham-----Gerrard------

Bentley-------------------Downing

------------Owen/Crouch----------

I think Bentley deserves his chance, while Downing has earned another chance in the Albania and Brazil games.
