Bazza,
Crouch wasn't great yesterday....no doubt about it. But he did end up being England's best option at forward....he scored the goal.
I love the energy that Rooney brings and if he's fit to start, England will be a tough out. But give Sven credit, he took off the right forward when he brought in Rooney yesterday. Sorry Michael Owen, you were not effective.
I love Lampard, but he had plenty of chances yesterday and he didn't come through. You are correct.....Gerrard has to get forward more often, whether he comes from the middle or from the outside.
Give Beckham an break. With England's all-star roster they can afford to carry a role player on the pitch and nobody serves the ball better than Beckham.
Great job by Lennon yesterday off the bench.
It is what it is Bazza, team is set....have to play with the cards in your hand. England are much better than T&T and significantly better than most of the teams in the field. They do come out too cautious. Why don't they press forward more often, early in the match? Ferdinand and Terry can thwart any counter and Cole and Carragher can certainly recover.
Definitely need to stick a boot on the opponent's throat early in the match.
