I don't see how he CAN'T get a start. Barry aside, that team against Algeria was utter utter gash.

I doubt he'll start, we're crying out for Joe Cole rather than Milner I think.

So would I.

I do find it strange how Joe Cole's suddenly become the answer to all our prayers though. When did he become this footballing god ?

He's not all that, I agree. What he does have is a kind of talent and flair that other English players lack.

Joe Cole has a point to prove now. Now he's a free agent he wants to play out his skin to get the bigger clubs interested and thus get a bigger wage.

However, I wasn't impressed with Lennon last night, nor Gerrard on the left.

Personally, I think the mid-field should be LM: Milner. RM: Joe Cole. CM: Gerrard and Lampard.

Presumably with Barry in between them?

Otherwise we might as well not bother playing a central midfield at all.

Unless England get a win against Slovenia I can see a lot of players, Milner included, returning to the PL and having a very poor start to the season.

I think the Lampard/Gerrard combination worked well against the USA. However, I've always thought that 4-4-1-1 would be a good combination with England, and in that case have Barry and Lampard in the centre, Milner on the left with Joe Cole on the right, and Gerrard playing attacking-midfield behind Rooney. That way Gerrard gets the run of the pitch, which is what he needs to be as good as he can be.

IMO.
