Thought Woodgate WAS excellent actually. If you are looking at blame for the goal, how about Phil Neville who had drifted into the box, leaving Iniesta wide open at the back of the area ?
It was confirmed to me that Carrick, Neville P and Gareth Barry are not international class players. Stewart Downing, Peter Crouch and Frank Lampard should be in the squad but certainly not first choice.
I was impressed with Dyer apart from his first touch but give him a few games and I think he'll be very useful but only in a 4-3-3 - he's not really that effective wide right.
Loved Joey Barton's effort. Thought he did well for the few opportunities he got. Maybe we need some fire like that.
If you want to go 4-3-3 and everybody is fit, for me it would be:
Robinson
Richards Woodgate Terry A. Cole
Gerrard Hargreaves Barton
Lennon Rooney Dyer / J.Cole
For 4-4-2:
Robinson
Richards Woodgate Terry A. Cole
Lennon Gerrard Hargreaves J. Cole
Rooney Owen
