Lampard was shocking out there too. I liked the performance of Lennon once he came on.
Oh and play Gerrard further forward. He should have Lampards position.

I don't understand why Gerrard is not given a more forward role. We've all seen what he's done for Liverpool pushing forward, England will be a far far better team if Gerrard is given a free role believe me. Brings up the old debate of whether Gerrard and Lampard can play together in the same team. I don't think they can because they are too similar, the other problem ofcourse is that the other 2 midfielders, Beckham and Cole are not defensive midfielders either. Which is why Gerrard is often found playing just ahead of the back line. He is being wasted there, why doesn't Eriksson understand this. We saw today with his goal that he is devastating when pushing forward. Eriksson has to solve this problem and quickly, Beckham is not going to be sacrificed and neither is Lampard, so I think Cole has to give way otherwise England are not going to get the best out of either Gerrard OR Lampard.
