VOTE: Who should be dropped against Belarus?
Latest attempt to accomodate Lampard, Barry and Gerrard fails
By providing the set-pieces for the two goals that got England going against Kazakhstan on Saturday, Frank Lampard emerged as the clear winner in the latest round of the “who should start in central midfield for England?” debate.
With the three-man midfield failing in the first-half, Fabio Capello switched to a 4-4-2 at half-time but rather than sacrificing Steven Gerrard it was Gareth Barry that made way. Of course, five goals followed which vindicated the decision to change shape but there was no new evidence that Lampard and Gerrard can work in tandem.
So should Capello again try to accomodate all three against Belarus on Wednesday or should he be bold and actually leave someone on the bench? Vote and leave a comment below.
