<p>Eriksson in gamble to tame Smith
</p><p><p>Alan <a href="http://www.australiaprada.com/" rel="friend met co-worker neighbor">click more</a> Smith’s ongoing flirtation with the dark side of the Force has not prevented the talented but ill-disciplined young Leeds United striker from finding a place in Sven-Goran Eriksson’s latest England squad.</p><p>Eriksson has included the 20-year-old in his party for Friday’s friendly against Mexico at Derby Authentic Prada Nylon Messenger Bag and the World Cup qualifier in Greece 12 days later. With Manchester United’s Andy Cole suspended for Authentic Prada Bags Outlet Online Athens and the Liverpool strikers – Michael Owen, Emile Heskey and Robbie Fowler – in need of a rest Smith could win his first cap at Pride Park, probably as a substitute. </p><p>Presumably Eriksson is accustomed to handling nitro-glycerine. Last October Smith was described as a "thug" by his own manager David O’Leary for aggressive behaviour on the field. He was then sent off for violent conduct playing for England in a European Under-21 Championship match in Finland and banned for three games by Uefa. </p><p>Twelve days ago, as Leeds went out of the Champions League in Valencia, Smith stripped the dignity from their departure with a last-minute lunge at Vicente which saw him dismissed for the third time this season. Against that he has scored 17 times, including the winner in Bicester Village Prada Discount Lazio and two more against Anderlecht. </p><p>Clearly Eriksson believes Smith’s scoring Authentic Prada Nylon Messenger Bag potential makes him a worthwhile risk. As Tord Grip, the England coach’s assistant, said yesterday: "It’s important for the player to be on an aggressive level but not to go over that level so that he is sent off. I think he will learn this. </p><p>"He needs to be taught or helped in these things. If you don’t make mistakes when you are young, when are you going to make them? He is that kind of player. You can’t take all these things away because then he wouldn’t be Alan Smith." </p><p>This is a familiar argument where badly behaved yet able footballers are concerned. But youth can be an excuse only for so long and Smith has been playing professional football long enough to know better. </p><p>He could do worse than follow the example of Gareth Southgate, who may be 30 but was not given to kicking opponents even when he was 10 years younger. The Aston Villa defender has 37 caps but this is his first time in an Eriksson squad. </p><p>Southgate, like Arsenal’s Martin Keown, is recalled because Agatha Ruiz Dela Prada Online Shop injuries have ruled out Sol Campbell and Gary Neville. Keown captained England for the goalless World Cup game in Finland last October but he has been ignored by Eriksson until now. </p><p>Ray Parlour, the Arsenal midfielder, is also back in the squad with Sunderland’s Gavin McCann left out. West Ham’s Frank Lampard, whose England career was promising to revive under Eriksson, misses out through injury. </p><p>While Eriksson will want to use Friday’s friendly to see how the side he is likely to field against Greece shapes up, Pride Park can expect a host of substitutions. "It may be like that as we have to look after the players who have played a lot of games and look tired," Grip conceded. Authentic Prada Fairy Bag For Sale "There are some players who need more rest than training, especially those at Liverpool after their recent cup finals." </p><p>This could mean chances for two other West Ham midfielders, Joe Cole and Michael Carrick. At the same time Eriksson will be keen to see how well the match-to-match fitness of Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard has improved. </p><p>Neville’s absence may see Bicester Village Prada Refund another Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, proving his versatility if Eriksson decides to try him at right-back. Carragher, while right-footed, has been playing at left-back but switched to the right at Charlton on Saturday. </p><p> James (Aston Villa) </p><p> Martyn (Leeds) </p><p> Seaman (Arsenal) </p><p> Brown (Man Utd) </p><p> Carragher (Liverpool) </p><p> A Cole (Arsenal) </p><p> Ferdinand (Leeds) </p><p> Keown (Arsenal) </p><p> P Neville Authentic Prada Handbags Uk (Man Utd) </p><p> Powell (Charlton) </p><p> Southgate (Aston Villa) </p><p> Beckham (Man Utd) </p><p> Butt (Man Utd) </p><p> Carrick (West Ham) </p><p> J Cole (West Ham) </p><p> Gerrard Authentic Prada Purses Sale (Liverpool) </p><p> Parlour (Arsenal) </p><p> Scholes (Man Utd) </p><p> Smith (Leeds) </p><p> Fowler (Liverpool) </p><p> Heskey (Liverpool) </p><p> Owen (Liverpool) </p><p> Sheringham Agatha Ruiz Dela Prada Dresses Uk (Man Utd) </p><p> McManaman (Real Madrid)</p>
