agree they had a poor game, but Macedonia played with 3 up front a lot

Which restricted the ability of our full-backs to get forward.

BUT

England at home to Macedonia - we shouldn't be scared to get our full-back forward. We can't expect to score unless we actually attack.

Also, isn't Carrick supposed to provide protection for the defence when the full-backs go forward? Or is it because they've realised that he isn't as good defensively as Hargreaves?

In which case, 3-5-2 has to be the way, crowd out the midfield and stop them getting the ball to Pandev.
