you still need a holding midfielder in a 4-4-2 though


against the better teams we do, not trinidad and paraguay


I still think you need a holding player for balance, Steven Gerrard very rarely plays as well as we know he can, for England because he has to adapt his game to hold more allowing Lampard to go forward.

Even today Gerrard wasnt up to much, and Jamica arent exaclty a brilliant side either.

and we still won 6-0, Trinidad and Paraguay will just go 10 men behind the ball, need to attack them

Gerrard can play the holding role, but the downside to that is you thwart his attacking threat.

I thought Gerrard was anonymous today. I'm a big fan of his, and I'm hopeful he'll rise to the occasion when its needed.

Don't under estimate Paraguay. They have a solid defence (the best record during the South America qualifiers) and a reasonable attacking threat in Santa Cruz. We'll need to play well to beat them, which I'm sure we can. But this is England in a World Cup, so nurture your fingernails for a week before chewing them off next weekend.

Am I the only one who thinks the need for a holding player is a bit of a bandwagon idea?

Lampard and Gerrard are good enough and cover enough ground to counter this, Carrick hasn't impressed me in the warm up games, King's injured and Owen Hargreaves is shite.

I just think a holding player allows Gerard and Lamps to shine more.
