Comfortable would be one of the last words to describe that!
The whole Lampard Gerard thing, I think is knee jerk. The problem was the 2 wide men didn't come in to help them. The US wide men were always prepared to tuck inside when required, which in effect made it 2 against 4 in the middle of the park. Doesn't matter who you are, Lampard, Gerard or whoever if it's 2to1 then you stand little chance. And then to make things worse England don't play the ball out wide often enough to utilise them, so why have them there if you're not going to play that system. Milner and Lennon just didn't perform for me.
Capello must take the blame for that.
