Give Johnson a run of matches alongside Nugent. These two are more hungry than anyone else, remember Miroslav Klose only made the german national team after national outcry. He came from nowhere and look at the impact he had for them. Move heaven and earth to get Scholes and Beckham back and make the latter play on the right. Joe Cole on the left when available, Gerrard as Gerrard or as a centre forward option daft as it may sound. At least you know he'd make a concerted effort to get on the end of things. If he moves up then Carrick plays hold. Keeper picks himself unfortunately, back line not sure but Woodgate must figure somewhere. We need competent footballers not just defenders.
