This isnt the time to be cautious, its a case of you must win every game - there are no second chances.
Take a risk and play an attacking formation with players who have pace who are going to cause trouble to the oppositions defence.
Let's not let this get too heated folks
I was in the "Heskey played well vs the USA" camp but after giving it some thought, the above comment sums it up. If we are weak in defence (which we are), we simply need to score more goals, and this definately isn't a time to be cautious. We need to win the next two games and win them convincingly with lots of goals to top the group, and a striker who's best attribute is "nice assist" doesn't cut the mustard in my book.
Bring Barry on, play Gerard off Rooney and do better to maintain possession in midfield (especially with our pace on the wings), and we will maximise our chances imho.
