Dion Dublin was never "terrible", he wasn't a world beater either though. The reason I referenced him is because he often played centre back throughout his career at Cov, Norwich, Villa and Leicester.
Playing Walcott and Lennon in CM? And you call Sven a terrible tactician
And Gerrard not giving a shit? I don't know which championship you were watching but I was watching Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine, Gerrard was one of England's best performers. In fact many were saying he was one of the best players all around in the group stages after his assists, work rate and passing. One of the biggest mistakes of English football was shoe horning in too many midfielders. Gerrard often got pushed on to the left wing and wasted. He should have been who the team was built around. Not a twat like Rooney. Who care's if Lampard and Gerrard can play together, the simple answer would have been to not bother trying, failing and persisting for so long. Spain can't play everyone, they have Fabregas and Torres etc on the bench. If we had two world class goalies would we put on at left back? No. So why was midfield any different. Now we're trying to build a team around Captain Gerrard and fat twat Rooney and poor old Stevie G is nearly done in.
Without sounding horrible, Sven and Cappello needed some injuries to help them make decisions and that unfortunately never happened. McClaren was just a dick who at the time tried to make himself look the big man by dropping Beckham which then blew up in his face. Waste of the last couple of years of a good players international career. Gone off on a tangent there but Becks could easily have helped us
qualify for Euro 2008, even if he didn't play in it.
