Coz who can you leave out? even tho its bad for the team we have to keep them in.
Yeah I agree too. Lampard did much more on the pitch. Does Gerrard ever shoot for England? He did provide a few tackles against Austria which were nice but you don't notice much more, which is wierd. You expect Lampard or Gerrard to piss all over oponents, proper boss the game. But they don't... they pass around and they don't commit and take control of things, just play as cogs in a wheel, never pushing things on themselves or showing the sort of game they play in the Premiership. Is Sven to blame? hmm... still not sure. He is the manager so its up to him to sort it out. Thought Euro 2004 we should some promise and if Rooney stayed injury free and we had Defoe instead of Vassell in the squad, perhaps we would of done better. Since Euro 2004 we've gone backwards performance wise. Just not looking like a team, sometimes we are all over the place.

Thought Joe Cole had some sweet passes, but were only talking about a couple.
