Trouble is that if you play Rooney as a support striker, it stifles the other players who like to get forwards as they all get in each others way.

Doesnt happen at Utd...

It doesn't happen at Utd, but Rooney's best position is support striker. For England he'll run himself into the ground but as he's our best player we ought to give him more chance to create something in the position behind the front man where he operates best.

Even SAF has admitted that he played Rooney out of position, he mentioned LM and he also mentioned not knowing what his best position is, but it isn't target man. He's played front striker at Utd because of the other personnel eg Tevez and it works to a degree but Utd carry a lot more creative threat to any defence than England.

I suppose the only good thing is that Rooney isn't fit so he needs a work out coz that's whaat he's going to get.

United don't have central midfielders that get forwards as often as players like Lampard and Gerrard.

Richards played for the under 21s last night and played excellent. Agbonlahor was i nthe squad but didn't play because of some problem during the warm-up. The joke is that Walcott got promoted to the senior squad ahead of Agbonlahor, he was originally in the under 21 squad as well.

Downing is alright but maybe Capello wants players that don't take people on since that's what Italy play like?

Thought the match would be on normal telly. The Bill was on last night so it might be on ITV1.

Its not a Joke becuase Walcott is in the squad as a midfielder not a striker if he was in the squad as a striker i would agree becuase atm Agbonlahor is better but Walcott at RM is the better out of the 2.

I don't know :lol:

The good think about Walcott and Bentley is they both can play upfront aswell as RM. :)
