I don't think we (England) will even qualify for Euro 2008 if we don't get 3 points on Wednesday.
We need to drop Lampard, thanks to him the whole midfield is out of shape and with players playing in the wrong positions.
We also need someone who can score, Rooney is not that player. We desperately need Owen back to tap them in.
The blaming the coach scenario has gone on for years in this country, I think it's time to face up to it... we are not a world-class national team.
Well imo, your midfield is the problem, if it where up to me I would take one of either Lampard or Gerrard out and replace them with Carrick, Lampard and Gerrard don't work well together, you need someone tha can distribute the ball with ease and has good vision, and Carrick is the only one that can do that.
And that's just one of the problems, the midfield, as you said, has no shape, everyone looks like they're running around not having the slightest idea of what to do, and that in the end comes down to the fact that you don't have a top class coach.
England need to look towardsa foreigners for the coaching position since they don't have anyone capable to do the job themselves.
And the last thing, I know Hargreaves was probably your best player in the world cup, not in the technical aspect but he looked like the only one actually playing with heart. But I can't see why he would be on the starting 11. I've just never seen him as a great player
