I still don't think that is the right setup for Lampard as he wants to be the attacking midfielder but who else are you going to play there? Carrick?
...Sad that a "World Power" like England has less midfield depth than the United States

Yeah if Dempsey or Donovan go down we're boned, BUT we have Beasley, Torres, Edu, Feilhaber, Holden and all those guys are solid substitutes for our midfield because we play more as a team
