With all the fu s about Englands opening DeAndre Jordan Jersey performance beginning to die down ahead of Fridays game against Algeria, England manager Fabio Capello finds himself in a difficult situation with regards to team selection.To be fair he has brought a lot of this on himself. He took Ledley King knowing his injury problems, and played James Milner when he clearly wasnt well enough. Add to this Robert Greens error against the USA and it seems a difficult time for the England manager.However lets not get too down about it, it was only the first game of the tournament and England are renown for being slow starters. Apart from Germanys opening performance there hasnt been a stand out display from any of the favourites so far. Spain losing their first match begins to put Englands performance into a far greater perspective although it is still early day for everyone.Capello isnt a bad manager, he has won titles in his native Italy and also for Real Madrid in Spain as well, also lets not forget the way England qualified as well, unbeaten until the last game. The group is still very much in Englands hands and a good win on Friday will put us back in pole position to qualify from a group that we all thought we would win.So on to Friday andn with ASAP Ferg Jersey a few changes we should be ablke to beat Algeria comfortably. So my starting eleven would be as follows;GK: David James- the players want him and if it was a Premier league game Id say stick with Green but we cant afford anymore mistakes and this is the World Cup after all.RB: Glenn Johnson- there is no one else is there? To be fair he didnt have a bad game either.CB: John Terry- Love him or loathe him he is the best central defender we have.CB: Michael Dawson- May not be New York Knicks T-Shirts the quickest but he is quicker thanCarragher and we need pace at the back. Had an excellent season for Spurs and unlucky not to make the original squad.LB: Ashley Cole- the best Left-back in the World bar none and a definite starter.DM: Gareth Barry- if hes fit he plays simple as that.RM: Aaron Lennon- pace to burn and the Algerians wont fancy Damyean Dotson Jersey playing against him.LM: Joe Cole-produces cla s pa ses out of nothing and has an eye for goal as well.CM: Frank Lampard-Scores goals for fun for Chelsea, could be an ideal game for him to start scoring again for England.AMC: Steven Gerard- Lets play him for once where he can do the most damage, supporting Rooney up front with runs from midfield.SC: Wayne Rooney-There is no one better is there? Lets play him in his lone role position which he does so effectively for Manchester United.So I would go with a 4-1-3-1-1 formation. A defensive midfielder to help at the back if needed, a three man midfield to control the game, ending Jacob Evans III Jersey with Gerard helping Rooney and taking advantage of him holding up the play. Lets try it for the first half and if it doesnt work remove Lampard and throw on Defoe or Crouch. Drop Gerrard into midfield alongside Barry and push Cole and Lennon wide.I believe this formation will be enough to make sure that we win the game and take the needed three points. So over to you Mr Capello
