Crouch shouldn't be in the England squad, very limited player, lacks agility, movement, pace and general footballing ability.

Owen should start against lesser teams when England can afford to play 4 in midfield. Against the best teams I'd play a 4-3-3 style formation with Cole and Gerrard supporting.

England do best with 442. If Owen returns to his previous form, he is obviously one of the best strikers in the world (as shown by his record)
Not good enough
Not good enough and certainly sub-standard compared to Richards
Not good enough

Of course Gerrard would probably end up wandering anywhere with no regards for the shape of the team like he always does

Not true! Gerrard suffers from footballer's rain, nothing more. He has been given multiple roles in single games and that has been too much for him.

Gerrard can't be trusted in a two man central midfield against world class opposition.

Ludicrous comment
