Do you think Carroll and Crouch could form a working partnership or is it too much aerial force and not enough pace? England have probably never had pacier players on the flanks that can get the ball in, Is this the time to play the traditional wing play and let the hit men take teams out in the air?

Crouch is so overated. i think he should not be in a England shirt. maybe Carrol and Bent. or Rooney Defeo

You just voiced one of my primary concerns in your first paragraph. I have been saying for months, that Newcastle need someone fast on the ground up front to compliment Carroll, he is a powerful player with a good touch, but one thing he is NOT is QUICK. Someone like Ranger, with Ameobi ready to step in if Ranger can;t make an impact. For England, well, it isn't certain he'll play Crouch or Carroll. But i really think Abgonlahor and Carroll would go perfect together, without that quickness, it won't work... Besides, they'll both be desperate to get on the end of every ball, and when you have two giants not working together, you can't win. Pace on the wing is good, yes, but it means nothing if we don't have the speed to pick it up on the attack. The game is faster these days. Carroll to score a goal.

lone striker Carrol is best

no
5 :
don't no because it would turn into long ball game

It can work, both players are quite tall so it would be good for our wingers to get some nice crosses for them to head the ball in.

Yea it could work but it will limit England to a one dimensional game. The only pace would be coming from the wings with crosses aimed at 2 giants in the box. In a 90 minute game of football you will be lucky to have that work more than twice. Having Carroll and Bent could be an solid partnership in my opinion. But as soon as Rooney comes back, Capello would be smart to experiment with him and Carroll up front. That's 2 absolute beasts with one of them having unbelievable acceleration. Could potentially work out.
