Joe Cole IS the answer for England.

There is no two ways about it in my opinion and that is that Joe Cole MUST START for England on Wednesday!. We all watched on Wednesday, saw the team lacked a spark, someone creative and saw that Gerrard is nowhere near as effective from the left wing as he is through the middle.

England have had the same problem down the left wing for years, but that was until Joe Cole came into the side on the left and filled the void. Joe has been great for England in that position and ever since he had been injured we have missed him there.

He has back now, fully fit and raring to go. It's obvious that Capello needs to play Joe on the left in either a 4-4-2 formation, or the favoured 4-5-1 formation.

If it was me, I would play 4-5-1 (which would be 4-3-3 when we have attacking possession) and play the following:

James, Johnson, Dawson, Terry, A Cole, Wright-Phillips, Lampard, Barry, Gerrard, J Cole, Rooney.

I would play Barry in the holding midfield role which would allow Lampard and Gerrard to get forward. I would play Joe Cole and SWP as they both know how to play the 4-3-3 as they learn't at Chelsea under Jose.. Rooney up on his own.

We would be much more of an attacking threat.

Its simple, Joe Cole has to play!.
