Just when you thought Lampard couldnt get any worse....

It's because of Steven Gerrard worship. Gerrard obsessives (or: "true England fans") insist that as long as Lampard is dropped and Carrick/Hargreaves/ANO covers the back, then Stevie G will tear round the pitch causing havoc with his unique Scouse genius. When this doesn't happen, it's because the left or right midfielder wasn't a proper winger and was "getting in Stevie's way".

I wouldn't mind seeing Lampard and Gerrard dropped, and them experimenting with Carrick and Hargreaves. The craftsman and the enforcer, similar (although admittedly lesser) to Pirlo and Gattuso.

just as well you put in "admittedly lesser".

Or even better, try one of the two, with joe Cole in the centre. Joe Cole isn't a leftwinger, he would be much better as the CM playmaker

Joe Cole isn't a leftwinger

Nor is anyone else eligible, though. Nether Lennon nor Wright-Phillips are plausible on the wrong side. Would you rather have Pennant or Downing there than Cole?

Matty Taylor's not playing much, but on the left wing you'd find few better.

Downing's improving a lot, I reckon he'll be good for the England squad in a couple of years, particularly if a bigger club buys him next year...

Lumpard is fat beacuse he is a lazy lazy player. He plays like he is really fat.

West ham fans hate him with a passion beacuse he always comes out with things i'd love to put the final nail in the relegation coffin and criticized the way the plub was run(by his dad and uncle) and then saying the club hung them all out to dry.

Fat wank is a tosser of the highest order.

as for left wing, therington can't be far off! Hes been absolute class this season and the season we came up.

He is a bit more consistent then downing and very very happy taking people on. and he has just scored!!!!

If we play 442 we can make do with a left side of Ashley Cole and Gareth Barry. Not sure which one plays where but it doesn't really matter.

I totally agree with Cole not being a left winger, and become incensed every England game when he always cuts in onto his right foot. He might be worth a try in the centre, with Hargreaves, but I fear he would wander too much and get in Rooney's way. Michael Carrick, on the other hand, gets altitude sickness beyond the halfway line but can't half pick a ball.
