Football at International Level has moved on from the old holding midfielder unless your playing 3 at the back. The time has gone when you could have the likes of David Batty sitting in there knocking sideward passes.

Gerrard would be perfect in there, he is awesome ballwinner, good in the air and a great passer and hif he did want to venture forward then surely there would be good enough communication with Beckham or Lampard to sit in for him.

Beckham Gerrard Lampard with Jo Cole and Wright Phillips does look like a real good midfield on paper, lets hope they can proof it 2mo by beating the Sheep shaggers!!!!
