I think part of the fault also lies with Capello.
For example, he picked both SWP and Lennon, but both of them had
a disappointing world cup. SWP did not even play much of the WC
except in the first match. And both of them are afraid to shoot. I
think bringing walcott would be a much better choice, for he is
more direct and faster than the SWP and Lennon, crosses better than
Lennon and is definitely not afraid to shoot when given chances.
Lennon sucks in my opinion and I am glad Capello notices that and
benched him for the last group game and also against Germany.
The other wrong choice that Capello made was to keep playing
Lampard and Gerrard together. It has been proven so many times that
these 2 cannot play together. Both are central midfielders and both
like to roamed forward. Who is going to take the Left wing?? No
one!! This is especially so when they play a 4-4-2 formation.
The third mistake capello make was then he kept choosing heskey
in the first 2 group matches. In my opinion Heskey is rather
shitty. I would have preferred Crouch if i wanted to add so height
in attack. I would rather have brought Darren Bent along and left
Heskey behind. Heskey is a striker that cant score goals,
simple!!
The fourth mistake is the refusal to play Joe cole in a 4-4-2
formation. I would have swap Lampard for Joe cole, so as to add
balance to the left wing. Simple!!!
The fifth reason, is the inclusion of Ledley king. He only
featured in 45 mins of englands WC campaign. A poor player, and
should not have made the trip at all.
The only good players that played well for england were Defoe,
Gerrard and Milner. These 3 are the players that stood out for
me.
England should have actually played with a 4-3-3 formation with
James as keeper, Terry and Carragher as the CBs, A.cole as the LB
and Johnson as the RB. Defensive midfielder would be Barry, and in
the midfield with Lampard and Gerrard both as the attacking
midfielders.
In attack with wayne rooney the main striker flanked by J.cole
on the left and Milner on the right.
This would be a much better formation.
I am beginning to think that you're much better than
Capello.
