I think you mean midfielder, not player Gooner. ![]() You can't tell me that you are happy with that performance, the commentator got it right when he said there are no positives at all to take away from the match. Everything was wrong. |

When playing for England J.Cole is the best and ok Gerrard is not so good for England he is our best Player when he plays for his club if that makes any sense No i'm not but what i am doing is saying who i think will cause a bigger threat and i don't think many will diagree that Young and Cole would be alot better on thin wings than the other two i mentioned. |

Ferdinand has been England's most consistent performer the past god knows how many years. Hargreaves was the best player at the last World Cup. Joe Cole... ![]() I thought that Gerrard and Rooney linked up pretty well done the left first half, they just couldn't create the clear cut opportunities. Beckham was poor but the crowd seemed satisfied with him. I'd prefer Young and Bentley but i'm not too sure if they are experienced enough and would just get marked out of the game through only really playing in the Premiership and not Europe. |

J.Cole was the best imo at the last world cup and has been just as consistant as Ferdinand. He gives us something different going foward and will create more than any other player we have. Imo he is without a doubt our best player.Bentley over Cole? I would lose all faith in Capello from that moment if he picks Bentley over Cole. You really don't rate Cole do you

Nope not really. England need people more consistent who actually stay out wide and can put a good delivery into the box. All I can remember from the last World Cup is Hargreaves because it seemed like there was only him trying. |

Cole is consistent.
Yes we do and Ashley Young can do that while Cole can come inside and create things that way, it would gives us another option imo. <_<

Cole was terrible at the end of last season for Chelsea. Maybe fatigue I don't know but i'm not surprised he wasn't in the team tonight if Capello was going off performances at the end of last season. England shouldn't need players coming inside to create things like that with players like Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard in the middle, that's what congests things when Beckham is doing it on the right too. |

I don't think he was terrible to the end of last season i think he played quite well and i don't think he would have won Chelsea's player of the season if he played that poor. All teams have players that come inside and create things i remember Silva doing it for Spain during the Euro's. Also i don't think lampard should play. Cole Barry Gerrard Young <_< |

good call on the midfeild there, rooney and bent upfrount. possibly carrick for gerrard aswell, better passer slightly more defensive to cover the wingers i dont think barry would start if hargreaves was fit either, nor do the majority of the football commentators |

carrick in for gerrard? we need to be pushing forward more, not defending more. Gerrards position would be behind the forwards to add to the attacking threat. |

i mean have 2 players sitting deeper to give the wider players more freedom so they dont have to track back as much. think only one of gerrard rooney and lampard should be on the pitch at 1 time. gerrard isnt half the player for england that he is for pool, rooney is consistent for both IMO |

i agree with that, i would alternate between rooney and gerrard as playing behind the striker/s |

if you can somehow get rooney to stay disiplined in the striker role like he does against chelsea, liverpool and arsenal to good effect, he should be the striker with gerrard behind him as they always seem to link up very well and in my opinion there englnads two best players when are on form we just need to be patient. |

England don't have time to be patient and shouldn't be experimenting anymore now. They've had enough time to get it right and the next 2 matches are World Cup qualifiers. I bet no other team in the world will go into the qualifiers not knowing who is going to be in the team. |
