A system which works so well that the players don't want to play it, thus drawing against 3rd rate sides like Algeria? Sorry, but IMHO, Rooney should be playing the Heskey role, with Defoe playing off him.
*Algeria are third rate are they? Well they're clearly one of the best sides in Africa, so that's a little unfair. Rooney isnt an out and out centre forward, he drifts too much. Defoe IS a centre forward so I dont see your logic there - your opinion, so fine.
I wouldn't say Bent has been given much of a chance in all fairness, but to see Heskey going ahead of him I'm afraid is unforgiveable, surely strikers are there to score you goals? I'd rather put my money on Bent scoring than Heskey that is for sure!
*Bent has had enough chances and doesnt complement our main forward, which is Rooney. Heskey has never played badly for England and removes a lot of the physical burden for his strike partners. You need to look beyond goals to see his worth. This is why top class managers are paid a lot of money (too look beyond the obvious).
Wright-Phillips proven for England...how? Yes he has played a few games, but what has he ever done that's so special? The fact Joe Cole sits on the bench, who is arguably one of our most talented players, while SWP, the most right footed winger ever seen, plays on the left ahead of him, is a total mockery of Cole.
*Wright-Phillips has always had decent games for England and has proved to be a solid performer. Joe Cole would play in my England team, I agree on that but Capello clearly feels he cant accomodate him at present
Johnson would be a handy addition, when he came on against Mexico against Wembley, even though for a few minutes, we looked far more capable of stretching the opposition and creating chances, we have missed a player who can do this so far.
*I agree Johnson looks good enough to pull on a starting shirt but as you mentioned yourself here - he's played a few minutes. Its a brave man that takes a player on the strength of one brief cameo. I would have taken the gamble but Capello is clearly more measured in that sort of approach.
This all goes back to my original argument Lou about Capello's comment about being in form. SWP is behind Johnson in the pecking order at Man City, and Heskey hasn't scored since Feb, and rarely makes it into the Villa side, you can't deny the fact neither player is in form, regardless of what they have done in the past!
*You're going back to this thing again about players being selected on the basis of their club form and pecking orders. This is where we fall down in England and why we havent won anything for donkey's years. A manager has to decide how he wants to play and then choose from the most appropriate tools at your disposal. If you have a variety of options you choose how you want to go about things and then pick the most relevant players. You dont just thrown together a team of form players, it doesnt work. This is why the likes of Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy do well and we dont.
Admittedly, this is Capello's first tournament, so he is still learning in that sense, but given the situation every manager in the world faces nowadays, would you expect him to be with us for the next tournament? First tournament or not, there is no excuse for only picking up 2 points with the team we have. However, it is out of order to blame this all on Capello, everybody involved in the set up is responsible for what has happened, and the players need to grow a pair and just get on with it, I would quite happily what they earn to be placed under all that "pressure"
Reckon i'd do a good job too
