It's Johnson getting torched by Bale and also Dawson and Terry are both great defenders in the box but lack foot speed, you need someone with some speed to play with them (at Chelsea Terry has had Carvalho and now Luiz, Dawson has King/Gallas/Kaboul who are all quick). I just think it's a bad combo, Jagielka would be a good partner for either.

The strike force has something like 30 goals in a combined 130 games this season in the league

and yes Defoe is terrible, and what made it even worse was you could see that under his kit he had a "100 goals" shirt because he is on 99 right now for Spurs, and by the end of the day he should have been at about 105

I at least hope Capello plays Rooney and Carroll together, seems like it should be a good fit, Carroll up top and he is good in the air, allows Rooney to drop back a bit like he does for Man U
I just dont think Capello should be playing Carroll at all unless the points are a sure thing. He just got back to fitness, playing him in an international game is a risk.

Knowing Capello, it'll be a 0-0 or 1-1 game and he'll be desperate at the end and throw Carroll on.

As for Defoe, I was watching the highlights and I couldnt believe it, I figured Spurs supporters must have been going out of their minds. He could have had a one in a million game there, and in a way he did, just not the way most people would like it.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
