He will play 4-5-1 with Crouch as a lone striker and a midfield containing all of Lampard, Gerrard, and Beckham.
The manager has to take ultimate responsibility though. He keeps picking the same players time after time, if they are not doing the jobs he wants them to then he wouldn't do that.
No. He's paid about £3m a year to make difficult decisions. And he never makes them because he's frightened of the millionaire ponces in midfield.We are all overlooking the fact that the team are more capable than Mclaren of f***ing up, it's too easy to lump the blame on the manager.
We'd had a decent run of results, but without playing anyone really that good. Israel are really a very average side, Russia are decent, well drilled and well managed, but not greatly talented and have never travelled well. They froze at Wembley imo. There were also the friendly games against very understrength Brazil and Germany sides in which he were poor.Until the Russia game we'd had a run of good results and played pretty well in 4 games, if we'd won or drawn the Russia game I doubt the same vitriol would be spewing out though. The players are to blame for that defeat.

McClaren has taken us backwards, he is out of his depth. The fact that we are still able to qualify is despite him rather than because of him!
I agree Defoe is quite pointless but playing Crouch up front on his own makes little sense, if you're playing one up front he needs to be mobile which Crouch obviously isn't.With Hargreaves holding, I personally think that is currently the best option. Theres no point playing Defoe he very rarely adds to the party..

Also in a 4-5-1 your wide players need to push up high and support the striker, Beckham doesn't do that really.
Defoe plays for Defoe. Not ideal in a team game.

Looks like he's dropped Beckham, so a move in the right direction imo although loads of ammunition for the over the hill maestro's fans if the team do f*** up.
I think he is still worth a place in the squad and can be usefull in certain games coming on from bench but i dont think he should start.
