Agree.
And most of the time his goals were either penalties or deflected
shots. Lampard shots lack accuracy, only power.
Anyway isn't this topic about Becks?
Hmm, right now Becks should be recalled. See the impact Zidane,
Thuram and Makelele made when they announced their retirement
before the World Cup only to overturn it and together they helped
their country to reach the final?
What England needs now is re-shaping.
Terry may be a good captain but not good enough. He fails to lift
England up when they're down but Becks is different. He lets his
freekicks and crosses do the talking.
England's problems:
1) A VERY LOUSY Right-Back.
2) 2 men trying to stamp authority in the middle of the field. i.e
Gerrard and Lampard
3) Superstar treatment for off-form players
4) Weak freekicks and corners
Solutions:
1) Forced Retirement for Neville. Luke Young can do a much better
job.
2) Drop one of them - Lampard. Why? Look at the way they play and
you'll know why. Lamps shoots once he gets the ball and most of the
time wasting possession. Gerrard sprays array of passes, is pacy,
runs at defence, shoots ACCURATE and POWERFUL shots.
3) If Lampard, Ashley Cole and (maybe) Wayne Rooney can start every
match as automatic first choice then i think there's no need for
competition.
4) Get Becks Back.
Save your excuses MacClaren. Your tactics failed. Do you think
A.Cole and Neville can operate as wing backs? A.Cole, maybe, but
Neville?
No "pure" defensive midfielder? Who's doing the dirty job? You? In
today's game, a defensive midfielder is a MUST for every team.
Edmilson for Barcelona, Diarra for Reall Madrid, Gilberto for
Arsenal, Makelele/Essien for Chelsea, O'Shea for United, Sissoko
for Liverpool, Gattuso for A.C Milan and Viera for Inter
Milan.
Carrick as defensive midfielder? Don't make me laugh.
Wake up MacClaren and make your choices wisely.
Cheers.
