Why, let us do your job for you, Mr Capello

It’s been an interesting week or so, watching England amass eight goals, let in two, and yet still not look entirely convincing. Hence The Spoiler has decided to down tools for a couple of minutes and do Capello’s job for him. At last count, he’d made probably about five mistakes in two games - not involving Ashley Young or Micah Richards in his squads. Allowing Carragher to stay retired. Persisting with the ridiculous Lampard/Gerrard combo. Dropping Owen altogether. And thus we’ve come up with, injuries permitting, the team that will get England where they need to go.

Richards comes into the back four to add a bit of oomph to the right hand side. Wes Brown has been alright, but spends too much time with his mouth wide open watching the midfield pass it around. Hargreaves bundles out Barry, on the assumption that he wouldn’t stand back and let the opposition play, he’d be scrapping away, not giving anyone a minutes peace. And Lampard gets the nod ahead of Gerrard - although that one could go either way. Whichever one is on the best form at the time should play. At the moment, that’s Lampsie.

The two up front pick themselves.

Agree? Let us know…
