The only England player who seemed to provide any was Steven Gerrard, who was playing out of his normal position. I think one of the biggest mistakes by Capello was not bringing Walcott, an absolute disgrace in fact. Lennon almost never got anywhere near the byline in his games and was justly omitted today. Cole and Johnson didn't do much either. It really wasn't clear how England expected to score many goals. The failure to use Carrick is equally inexcusable. DK

It's unfortunate that he wasn't 100% but I still think he is more important to the team than any other striker. As for Capello, the only thing I would have done different is play with only one striker to gain more consistency in midfield.

Not even close. Sometimes I think Ronaldo made him a great player. DK |
