Is it Crouchie or Super Stevie?

On the one hand, you’ve got Steven Gerrard talking about the work he’s doing to learn that up-front role he played — and not necessarily at world-class level — against Hungary.

On the other hand, word comes that Peter Crouch will start up front against Jamaica on Saturday.

Is it any wonder that all the papers carry headlines like this?

I don’t reckon too terribly much of Sven, and he’s got an unbalanced and injured squad to sort out. But to fault him for experimenting seems pointless. As he says, “I’m very happy if it’s confusing for other people. I can tell you there’s no confusion at all in the training camp.”
