I think we are all experts with hindsight.
Owen is England's most prolific striker
Smith and Defoe have both started the season superbly
Vassell has an excellent scoring record for his country
So they should have been the four strikers chosen. The idea that we need a centre forward who is a big lumbering oik shows how outdated football thinking is in this country. Arsenal have Henry, Berglamp and Reyas, and none of them fall into that category, but they are by far the most potent striking force around in the Premiership.
I know the result is everything and the performance is instantly forgotten, but I thought England bossed that game easily for 70 minutes, the Austrian keeper should have been sent off in the first half and made a sensational save from Smith in the second.
We should have won easily, but the lack of two decent players (keeper and left midfield) means that England are the equivalent of Newcastle or Liverpool ---- living on past glories and under the illusion that they have a right to win everything.

i agree heskey is a good player that puts defenders off. he is a great foil for owen. every england manager has selected him for his presence upfront and he has done a job. he will also start scoring again at brum and get back into the england squad. liverpool did not play him as an out n out striker and he often played on the left or deep.
by the end of the season he will be back, trust me. at the moment sven is feeling the pressure and has tried to please fan power by leaving heskey out.
in my opinion gerrard should take over as captian and sven should step down. beckham fighting for his captaincy back would be a good thing. it would stop his complaicency. also beckham should start admitting that he aint fit, when he isnt. and hand somebody else a starting place no and again.
if he is fully fit then he should play because he is good enough.
