Apparently McClaren has decided to go with Owen (who's only just got fit) and Smith (who is being used as a midfielder by the Toon) against Germany. IMO that gives a fairly good indication of the two he wants to us in the Euro Qualifiers.

EDIT: In fairness to McClaren Crouch is suspended for the next game so there is no point in laying him in the friendly, Rooney, Johnson, Lita and Bent are all injured so with Owen playing the only strikers than can partner left are Ashton and Smith.
