Capello

[seagull_special]

I'm not sure how much is Capello's fault t.b.h.

Having said that he needs to bite the bullet. Rooney isn't fit. Give the spud-faced-nipper a rest for the next game. And give Joe Cole a runout instead of Lennon.

A change is as good as a rest.....but just saying that makes me realise what little he has to work with. So lets blame the Premier League for buying in tons of foreigners rather than developing our own.

I don't agree, Capello played it safe, he could have taken some risks, instead of taking Heskey, King, Wright Phillips and Carragher, he could have brought along Walcott, Ashley Young, Adam Johnson, Agbonlahor. I couldn't believe he didn't bring on Joe Cole for Rooney. Rooney is not fit and had probably his worst game ever, i am still a fan of his and I hope he comes off the bench and destroys Slovenia on Wednesday

As someone else said, why on earth would you want a team where the lone striker is the worst player.

Because he only became the worst player when made to play along side Heskey.
Lone striker is his bread and butter now at Utd. As Gareth Southgate said last night, 'i've never heard WR say he prefers to play with Heskey'. If that was the case Utd would have brought him, or an equivalant by now.
Joe Cole is never going to 'hide' from the ball, Gerrard is in the middle with Lampard, Lennon has to stay on the wing getting the crosses in, Barry tidies up.

If there were to be ball problems surely shorter passes to feet are better than lumping it to the big fella.
