I think it's great to see Robinson back in the England Squad. I felt really bad for him when he let in that howler at Croatia and since he lost a lot of confidence. Like Mark Lawrenson said on Match of the Day last night though he's slowly got himself back on form as is producing some top-flight saves at the moment. By the way David James hasn't been dropped - he had a shoulder operation on Wednesday ruling him out of these games.

So assuming England play a 4-4-2, here's my starting line-up:

GK - Paul Robinson

LB - Ashley Cole
CB - Rio Ferdinand
CB - John Terry
RB - Glen Johnson

LM - Steven Gerrard
CM - Michael Carrick
CM - Gareth Barry
RM - Shaun Wright-Phillips (Beckham second half)

CF - Wayne Rooney
CF - Theo Walcott
 
I would alter things a bit from your selection

GK and Defenders- No changes. Though if it was me, I'd play Ashley Young Left Midfield, Carrick and Barry in the Centre and Wright Phillips on the right. Though I would play Gerrard at AMC and Rooney up front on his own.
 
Just an update, Carrick's been ruled out due to a foot injury.
 
4-0 Win for England, despite one of their worst performances. Really should have been 1-0 down at 19 seconds but were fortunate to see some sloppy finishing / half-decent defending.

England have now won 6 out of 6 world cup qualifiers, and are looking strong favourites to qualify for the 2010 World Cup with (probably) Croatia. ~cheesey_grin~
