I'd personally prefer Gerrard in the middle and Lennon on the right. espiecally against the best sides.
I think Lennon deserves a start. But Gerrard seems to be more effective on the right, so it's a difficult one. I'd love to Rooney in the hole behind 2 strikers to replace Lampard, i think he's at his best when he's picking the ball up and running at defenders. but then you have the problem of picking 2 "international quality" strikers which we don't seem to have, probably due to the fact that over the years we haven't really gifted any promising english strikers a chance. "If your not called Micheal Owen your not getting on the team sheet" I'd love to see Andy Johnson get a proper chance. I think Mclaren has more balls than previous managers though so i guess it's a case of wait 'n' see.
