GSS - I know that Heskey worked his socks off last night, but to what effect? He needs to feed the ball to Rooney, and as Rooney was AWOL again, that strategy just didn't work. At least Crouch is a proven goal-scorer, and I'd start with him every time. James did well in goal, and we are now left to wonder what would have happened if he'd played against the USA - we may now have 4 pts instead of only 2. Rooney isn't going to last long against Slovenia - the first time they wrestle him to the ground he's going to retaliate and be red-carded. Still, we're not out of the competition yet, and there's always Euro 2012 to look forward to...
