I feel like the greatest asset in England's footballing history is their defending, and Hogdson's managing style was perfect for the team, sit back and play in counter-attack. But, besides Wilshere, Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes ( only Wilshere isn't old ), who actually has that creative spark to push counter-attacks? Nobody. Players might be hard-working, but they are hardly creative. Milner has one or two shiny moments, and Young is very irregular. Rooney is hard-working, but you don't see him doing any spectacular dribbling, or working a different play. Welbeck actually has some of that, Ox too. But they're too young and you can't just drop the responsibility on their shoulders.
