yup we could be. However it all depends on what team mancini will put out next week... If Ireland plays I think we will be much more dangerous going forward |

good point. ive rarely seen him play behind the striker for a long time but i maybe wrong, when others create space for him and he's running towards goal and not got his back towards goal he's pretty hard to stop. you can compare him to the way henry used to pl;ay where henry used to drift to the left and cut in but that doesnt mean he should play on the wing. |

He does seem to have some favourites though... and I think he isn´t really tinkering for tinkerings sake in the the semi´s though.... what today showed is that we need a good LB and another creative forward going midfielder |

with some of them tho dutch i think his had was forced due to injuries and the acn. certain players look like they will be in the first team once he decided what he wants but those players would get in most first teams tbh |

hmmm maybe... I still say we only have one forward going cm and that´s Ireland... Also at LB we have Bridge who needs to improve if he wants to impress me... sylvinho who is useful but waay to slow and Garrido who is crap defensively. Lescott could play there mebbe but that´s the only option I can see really

prob be wise to play lescott there with toure and kompant at cb. then stick richards on the right. that would probably be pretty solid. i thought you may have more attacked mind cm's if thats the case you need another one
