Originally posted by petrosianpupilLampard does indeed tackle and run but these don't win matches. But he IS wasteful and greedy to the point where he can be held acountable for England not wnning matches. He inhibits the natural game of England's best player (Gerrard) and therefore quite simply should not be in the side. At Chelsea he is made to look good by all the hard work that is done around him by Makelele and Essien.

He is not one of the best players in the world. It's statements like this that leads England fans to believe that they are capable of winning the big tournaments when it is quite obvious to the rest of us that they're just one of the second tier teams.
Who's Alan Green?
