I don't think we should bother with the holding player, none of them are really good enough. I'd play Crouch up there with Owen and the usual suspects in Midfield.

Really against Paraguay, Trinidad & Tobago not sure the need of a holding mifielder. Maybe against teams like Brazil we will need a player to sit in there and protect the back four but I'd fancy us to beat most teams without a player sitting.

Beckham was class tonight, carrying his form from Madrid this season.
