I'm surprised to see Chelsea fans Tinkerman and Starman agreeing that JT should be captain. GB should be along any minute to reinforce this view!

It's also nothing to do with who is captain, it's down to (yet AGAIN) an inflexible dedication to 4-4-2 with which comes frustration and fast dropping morale all round. We do play it fairly well but we've seen it all before that manager after manager refuses to change it even when it hasn't worked in the previous game and at 75 minutes isn't working in the current.

A lot of it is down to Heskey - 4-4-2 won't work if the player in his position isn't doing his job. Heskey spends too much time falling over when breathed on and putting his passes and crosses into touch. It could have been so different, if he had any ability to score when one on one with the keeper (which he hasn't) - that could have meant England winning against the USA and reports of Heskey making one and scoring one - then having the ability to change things and get stuck in to heroically hold out in a tough 0-0 with plucky Algeria to more or less guarantee progression to the next round...

There aren't too many jobs paying what Capello earns where you are able to have three opportunities to do something and not change anything when two times out of three it quite obviously isn't working.

Who do you think should be captain?

Heskey is the target man, unfortunately his partner is dropping too deep chasing the ball and is never anywhere near Heskey when he gets the ball and ends up trying to hold it up for too long and inevitably loses it.
if you think the manager is crap, which he is, all the more reason to have a very strong captain.

John Terry probably

I don't think it's as important as you appear to though.

A good supervisor is worth ten managers

Not if there are only monkeys on the shift

Might be that we're talking about 7-4-7 rather than 4-4-2 soon.

I hope not by the way.

Stevie G did not ask to be Captain, but I think he is doing a good job. He did not push himself forward and become a loose cannon like Terry criticising the Manager without speaking to him first.
I think Gerrard has spoken well, even when coming off the pitch after the match against Algeria he was very diplomatic and and self effacing (unlike Rooney) he spoke for the team and took the blame for the performance. He has also play well in every game, and of course, scored our first goal.
He is not new to being a Captain, and who can forget how he rallied Liverpool in the second half of the game at Istanbul.
He is Captain of England so why not get behind him and the team and stop nit picking?
