Maybe this concentrating on SG has been a little unfair and has detracted from the biggest flop by a country mile - Lampard.

2nd best player in the world (apparently) should have far more to offer than he did. SG was disappointing for sure, but Lampard was absolutely shocking to say the least.

Anyone wonder how Scholes and Gerrard worked fine but there is a problem with Lamps and Gerrard?

Doesn't make sense to me.

I don't understand either. There are enough (inter-team) combinations in our team to be able to congeal a team and more importantly perform. One of those unanswerable questions i guess. He and Lampard will be vying for one position in my mind in the future and of the 2, Lampard will be the one getting a numb arse on the bench. Hargreaves is a must for the foreseeable future, he was very impressive. His stamina was truly inspiring.

In his day Scholes was a better player than Lampard is now IMO

I agree Jim, Scholes was England's best goal scoring midfielder ever. Scored more than Robson I think.

How about a midfield of:

Gerrard Lampard Hargreaves Cole

With Stevie G playing right like he does for Liverpool? He can cross like Beckham but also beat a man on the run.

I'd put them on par personally. I think they are both players who will never perform to the level for England than they do for their clubs wekk in and week out

Joe Cole won't be playing on the left once McClaren gets in.

I like old fashion wingers (with chalk on their boots) who get to the bye line regularly and have pace and can take people and deliver quality balls. Sadly Giggs chose the wrong team, i firmly believe that with Giggs the past 10 years could have been different.

Just an idea, however this left side of midfield issue has never been solved to everyones happiness. Maybe a 4-3-3 is the way forward, not because i like the system, but maybe its the best with what we have available. Hows about:

Robinson

Neville, Terry, Ferdinand, Cole

Gerrard, Carrick, Hargreaves

Wright-Phillips , Crouch, Rooney

Bench: Carragher, Campbell, Lampard, Cole, Lennon, Bent, Defoe

Robinson is not Englands best keeper he just happened to be fit. Kirkland is miles better but is all 2 often injured.

He may have been 5-8 years ago, not now he isn't.
