Gerrard can be the ballwinner and also give more to the side if needed going forward. Conceding goals haven´t really been our problem, its scoring them. Poland have scored 25 goals in this group compared to England 15.
all you have to do is watch gerrard at liverpool... when does he excel? when hamann sits back, then gerrard has all the energy to roam forward and create things.... making him change his game for england defies the point of having chosen him, no? and he is better than lampard, so why accomodate lampard by losing so much of what gerrard offers by giving him that 'ball winning' role. we do need a keane, thats for sure.
