Something tells me this team will lack width...

 

Big oweness on Cole and Johnson it would seem. Good make ourselves vulnerable on the counter if they're getting forward not that it would make much difference if Johnson was in position.

I'd have Milner over Lennon every day. Lennon is s****, zero brains and zero end product.

 

:doh:

 

Better than zero pace, zero end product that you get from Milner on the wing. "Burrrtt, he workss haardd!!!"

 

Milner in the middle at all times, not as a wide man.

Lennon was one of the form players in the country before he got injured.

 

But has been awful this tournement.

 

Did i read none of his crosses have reached an england shirt yet. Two games, not one cross has met a team mate!!!

Lennon is probably the only winger in the squad with consistent end product.

 

The first nine words are true.

Its been sadly lacking in the WC though.

One particular position he got into and wasted (in the first half against the USA) still annoys me now.

This Lennon hate is crazy. Every player has been shite, at least he has a bit of pace and energy.

I've got a fiver on Slovenia and a fiver on a draw :bluestar:

Cover all bases, as the Yanks say.

Hope you lose both, BS. ;)

I think the pace of the other villa players is what has helped milner so much, giving him time and space to work in. This team looks as one paced as he is.

Always been truly baffled at how many people Milner can fool ALL the time, and your comment seems more accurate than we usually hear when people talk of Milner.

I personally don't rate him at all. And, hope Im wrong big time, but think he'll hinder more than help England today.

I like Lennon, i like watching him for Spurs, but havent seen anything from him in the first two games. I think there has been more from SWP when he has come on tbh.

Milner has had a great season tbf.

 

Not playing on the RW he hasn't.

 

Exactly. Milner simply can't play effectively out wide imo.

 

Agree, if you have pace you can play there, he doesn't. As he has no pace you need guile (Solano) , doesn't have, or good consistant crossing ability (Beckham), doesn't have. I could understand if Slovenia had a Maicon esque LB and he was picked to nullify him but I'm fairly certain Jokic who i believe is their LB doesn't have this quality.

Don't understand btw why Capello doesn't play him through the middle.

He is. We're playing 4 in the middle today.

I don't rate Milner at all either, never have. He is massively overrated in the media, he is a decent CM but no good as anything else.

 

The idea that he is a utility player has damaged him and all the teams he plays in.

E------Rooney--Defoe--------N

L---------Gerrard---------------E

O--Milner--Lampard--Barry--L

C------Terry----Upson---------G

------------James-----------------

 

Maybe something like that? Relying on the fullbacks for width?

 

I just don't want to see Gerrard or Milner in wide positions...
