Indeed, a devastating tragedy, hopefully the likes of which will never be seen again.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the 56.

What's this persistence with Gerrard and Lampard in midfield together?

It's obvious that both players prefer to be the most advanced midfielder in a midfield '3', Lampard is a better 4-4-2 player but neither player suits the formation, nor does the formation get the best out of their strengths.

I'd like to see England try Rooney up front on his own with a midfield 5 to include two wide players and either Gerrard or Lampard playing in behind Rooney. When we have the ball it's and attacking formation and when we don't have the ball we can play with plenty in midfield and press the opposition.

Capello has already said though that he does not want to play with one up front.

If it was to be 451 I'd much prefer Lampard behind Rooney. A billion times better than Gerrard at that kind of role.

This season he has been. Previous to this year, I'd have had Gerrard in that role every time above Lampard.
