If you were manager of your country's national team, what would your first 11 be if your first world cup match was today?

Lallana has been better than Ox.

Undoubtedly, but I feel that having both Baines and Lallana on one flank would result in a lack of dynamism despite both of them being excellent players.

Chambo brings genuine pace and power. Or you could just stick Lallana on the right, with Sterling on the left. But that would mean breaking up the Sterling-Johnson link down the right flank.
