Cole has been injured a lot of that time

and just because he hasn't played him before, doesn't mean it won't work it out better for him. It actually could end up being a bit of a secret weapon.

I'm second guessing all along here but I've always rated Capello as a top class manager and I have a lot of faith in him getting it right.

        Plan B is an in-game adjustment, but carry on anyway! (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 2, 11:36:39

        I remember 90 very well. And the buildup - and us stumbling (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 2, 12:01:51
        
        Joe Cole on the left (what I would do) and Plan B are two entirely different (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 2, 11:42:36
        
        I know you're refusing to answer this, but I'll try once more (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 2, 11:54:18

- Capello isn't the clueless idiot that Erikksson was though (n/m) (Other Football) - BerlinCanary, Jun 2, 10:47:15
  - AND he actually has a plan B (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 2, 11:11:58
    - Bollocks. The last week has taught us that he doesn't. (n/m) (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 2, 11:15:55
      - quite the opposite. (Other Football) - Brandonio, Jun 2, 11:49:48
      - Which last week ? It's a friendly. He is setting up to see his team play in certain (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 2, 11:23:42
        
        I guess Tricky means that England were bobbins for much of the last friendly (Other Football) - BerlinCanary, Jun 2, 11:50:45
        
        don't really care about us being bobbins (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 2, 11:58:02
        
        but they didn't fail (Other Football) - Brandonio, Jun 2, 12:04:04
        
        I know what you mean, but he did play Walcott, Bent, Huddlestone and Baines (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 2, 12:08:17
        
        He was looking to see if they had something else to offer (Other Football) - Brandonio, Jun 2, 12:14:51
        
        Agree with all of that (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 2, 12:22:28
  - odd that he's ending up with almost exactly the same team though (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 2, 10:48:51
    - but if he can get the team to play the right tactics then (Other Football) - Brandonio, Jun 2, 11:00:15
      - You think? (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 2, 11:06:06
        
        Of course (Other Football) - Brandonio, Jun 2, 11:13:01
    - Maybe (Other Football) - BerlinCanary, Jun 2, 10:53:17
      - he causes havoc for Spurs. I'm glad he's in the team (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 2, 10:57:00
        
        Walcott is a shame but he ain't been doing that well... (Other Football) - Fierce Panda, Jun 2, 11:09:56
- totally disinterested. I'll watch and enjoy it when it starts, but that's it. (n/m) (Other Football) - megson, Jun 2, 10:47:14
  - Exactly (n/m) (Other Football) - BerlinCanary, Jun 2, 10:47:49
