I'm in bed listening to FiveLive and the chairman of the PFA has just been on the radio with his thoughts and ramblings over just where Mr Capello is going wrong. Considering he's always been one who has been in favour of a English manager - I suppose that is always was going to be a given, the first sign of discontent in the country with Fabio. A Rent-A-Gob...
There can be no doubt that the formation that Capello has adopted for not just the tournament but pretty much from the outset of him taking over the biggest job in the country is not the formation that allows England to be able to use their two most potent players in their favoured positions. Both Steven Gerrard and especially Wayne Rooney looked lame and nowhere near their world-class ability.
Surely, you would think that any country with players with the potential greatness of those two would work any formation around their two best players. Spain plays it around Messrs Torres and Xavi, with Iniesta being the playmaker who runs the show - ditto with Brazil, allowing Robinho a free role instead of restricting him, which is what would be normally be in Dunga's DNA.
For England to have any chance of progressing any further this time around, Mr Capello has to allow those two, the freedom to play in their preferred position. Let Rooney play on his own up top, and let Gerrard play just behind him and allow him the freedom of the pitch.
If only it was that simple...
