I've said it a few times but there is an argument for just doing what Germany did and binning all the old guys, and starting from scratch with a team of under 25s or so. Just keep them together for a while and let them grow as a team, rather than chopping and changing all the time.
I'd go with something like:
HartJones Smalling Caulker GibbsWilshere Insert DM CleverleyWalcott Sturridge SterlingI've probably forgotten a few better youngsters, but really could that team do much worse than the current garbage we get every game?
I'd go:
Hart
Johnson Smalling Jones Gibbs
Cleverly Carrick
Walcott Wilshere Sturridge
Rooney
or
Hart
Johnson Smalling Jones Gibbs
Cleverly Carrick Wilshere
Walcott Rooney Sturridge
