Englands national team problems are no mystery to anyone who watched the shambolic display in South Africa last summer. Both individually and collectively, it is safe to say that England were categorically humiliated; players and manager alike left Vuvuzela land earlier than anticipated with their heads hanging in shame, to return home where support had commenced with optimism, in hindsight this was unjustified and delusional.But let us not abandon these warriors of pride and hope, for a country so pa sionate about their sport, and football in particular, it is nece sary to focus on how England can adapt: tactics, players and pa sion are the only Elton Brand Jersey immediate areas that can be remedied. Ability, like that of the Spaniards would require a more fundamental a se sment; youth systems and coaching would have to be scrutinised, but that wont solve Englands crisis for the ever present Euro Qualifiers and its subsequent climax in Poland/Ukraine next summer.Some might argue that Englands qualifying campaign is progre sing quite neatlywithout flair, nonethele s, neatly. This shouldnt satisfy the 90,000 fans who gather into Wembley on infrequent occasion.Lets consider all candidates for Capellos selection, including those who are routinely dismi sed due to reputational characters getting the nod despite Fabio philosophising form and attitude during the birth of his reign.The goal-keeping situation looks promising for the foreseeable future and beyond; Joe Hart has established himself as the England No.1 in recent qualifiers. Fans can be comforted by his victory over Shay Given in the fight Jordan Ford Jersey for Citys spot between the sticks, which is no mean feat for the Shrewsbury born talent who is set to embark on a very exciting career at Manchester City. We should not be denied the chance to speculate about the genuine po sibility of another English great; its no coincidence that Mancini appears to be most content with his goal-keeper, which brought into context by mention of Tevez, Kompany, Silva, Y.Toure, Johnson and co, leaves Joe in a position of substantial confidence. Potential replacements/cover? Lets hope Hart avoids injury like the plague because Green, Stockdale and Foster comprise the list.Defensively, there is cause for concern. Most have finally accepted that John Terry and Rio Ferdinand are past their best, albeit reluctantly. Neverthele s, both players are still regarded as Englands best; this opinion (adopted by many, including Capello) seriously inhibits any rapid progre s on the journey to footballs next global event, World Cup 2014. All competitions and results until then should be considered work in progre s and 2 or 3 dodgy performances by those who should be destined to wear the 3 lions on their shirt in 3 years is not as inhibitory towards Englands potential succe s as keeping faith with players who dont exhume any hope for the future of the nations favoured sport. Alternatives to the egocentric Terry, Carragher and Ferdinand include: Cahill, Dawson, Jagielka, Jones and Shawcro s. Admittedly, none of these names have proven their ability on club levels most prestigious stage however, Germanys 2010 world cup defensive duo: Mertesacker and Friedrich certainly arent considered amongst the best of their position and yet the team was very succe sful. Its no coincidence that this pattern continues throughout most national teams; Capello must Ky Bowman Jersey give these novices an opportunity! Moreover, Dawson proved that he was more than accomplished on the European stage in last seasons Champions league, Jones has just been purchased by SAF (enough said), Cahill is regularly monitored by Arsenal; only Boltons valuation of him and Wengers stubborn transfer policy has prevented further succe s for the lad, Jagielka is widely regarded amongst the Premier Leagues elite defenders, and Shawcro s makes up the numbersAshley Cole and Leighton Baines emanate youth and quality in abundance; position tick.Richards, Walker and Smalling (on recent evidence playing for United at right back) provide us with le s confidence than the above counterparts however, under positive guidance and clever management, these candidates should more than suffice for the final element of Englands backline.Perhaps the position in most demand for refurbishment though is central midfield. How long have we waited for Lampard and Gerrard to gel? Too long! The former shows evidence for both club and country that he no longer po se ses the nece sary flair, ability, pace or dominance to dictate international football matches. The latter may still prove to be a key ingredient in future succe s; we must utilise Stevie Gs a sets for the benefit of the team though, which means playing him wherever nece sary. If fit and available, Wilshere (and none other) should accompany Quentin Richardson Jersey Gerrard in the centre; his ability mirrors that of Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas and co like we have not seen since Man Uniteds ginger ninger fulfilled the role up until 2002. He retains po se sion, disperses creatively and dictates play with eloquence; more offensive minded players in the team will prosper enormously from the contribution of Jack Wilshere. Parker, Henderson and Rodwell satisfy Englands reserve nece sity quite comfortably.On the wings. Lets begin by banishing Steven Gerrard from this territory for good. Other players with far more pace, skill, imagination and general dribbling ability should not be sacrificed for him, especially when the system becomes distorted, structure e sentially collapses and Gerrards primary attributes are totally wasted. Young (now of Man Utd), Downing (now of Liverpool), Johnson, Walcott and Lennon ooze pace, dribbling, delivery and shooting ability between them; such an array of talent is very rare for international teams and it is the responsibility of Capello (or his succe sor) to utilise this gift. Moreover, several of the above are very accomplished forwards, Mfiondu Kabengele Jersey thus providing the option for a 4-3-3 system.Rooney and Carroll would be immediate contenders for the striking positions. We are yet to really see them pair up and strike fear upon defenders as they do as individuals so effortle sly for their clubs. I can confidently say that patience will suffice here.And that is the future of English football. Other fringe players or surprise packages are yet to be considered, neverthele s, a firm foundation that might yet re-instil hope for the nation is achievable; Capello, read this blog!
