England doesn't have the wingers right now to play that way, what england does have is central guys and a 4-3-1-2 that United should've been playing all year would cater to that. Pair Sturridge and Rooney up top, go with Wilshere, Gerard and Henderson or Milner/Lallana in a midfield trio with Sterling, Ox or Barkley as the ten, although dropping Rooney back to that spot and playing Welbeck or using Lallana as the ten would work to. Might be able to build some actual attacking movements then and win the midfield battle.


We might not have the wingers to do it, but considering how poor our FBs are we needed those wide players.

Now inside me there's no feelings of joy, revenge or anger against Suarez for an incident that happened on the pitch and that's done. There only remain the anger and the disappointment about the match.

At the moment my only thought is for Luis and his family, because they will face a very difficult period.

I have always considered unequivocal the disciplinary interventions by the competent bodies, but at the same time I believe that the proposed formula is excessive. I sincerely hope that he will be allowed, at least, to stay close to his team mates during the games because such a ban is really alienating for a player.
