theo and crouch in w/c squad
Only four strikers, one of which will almost certainly be on crutches at
first kick off and one who is still coming back from injury but
hopefully will be fit.
I'm surprised at Sven picking theo considering he's not getting much
attention at Arsenal and is relatively unproven. But I'd sooner see
talented inexperienced youngsters than experience old average joes. Not
really much choice around for strikers so I guess that forced Sven's hand.
But if you've got one who's going to be only just fit even in the
absolute best case scenario, 4 strikers seems the biggest risk. Not a
lot of options up front if things need changing around.
If it comes to a penalty shoot-out, the often-horizontal figure of Andy
Johnson springs to mind. But I'd sooner see England strikers running at
the opposition than fall over quite near to them.
