thats the problem though, he does that, and then he had the 1 game against croatia and the 20 minutes against Barca earlier this year

he has flashes but no consistency, he just doesn't seem to have a footballing brain

he would never take set pieces for England though, Lampard and Gerrard will, and ya I would like him off the bench as well (especially over Walcott) but I don't think hes competing for that spot. I think if they are picking the best 23 players he makes the team, but I don't think Capello will choose him in this squad

He will be a starter for the team by Euro 2012 though I think, its been decades since England had a quality left footed player with pace.
