Milner and Barry are so utterly insipid they are a joke, Barry lacks pace, class, quality. There is a reason England look markedly when Young was introduced, and more so since Wilshire/Parker/Lampard became the midfield trio.
You need a proper DM in a team, any team, always have, always will. For years Lampard looked way below his Chelsea level with England, why, because he was playing DM for England for the best part of the last decade, with Gerrard playing AMC most of that time. It didn't/doesn't work, with Parker that actually had a real DM, with Wilshire they had someone capable of attacking or defensive role and in Lampard they have one of the best attacking central mids in the game.
With Barry/Lampard combo, Lampard always looks less attacking and less good, Barry has no business being anywhere near the squad, and you only have to look at Chelsea to see that when their DM's are working well and Lampard has a good attacking partner in midfield, he's just about their best player, when Mikel is crap and Ramires is his useless partner in midfield, Lampard plays very differently.
Young/Wilshire/Parker/Lampard/Downing is the best TEAM we can put out at the moment across midfield, rather than picking individuals as we have done ever since I can remember, and playing every big name, and shoehorning them all into different roles just to get them all to fit.
Why did England suck balls last night, lack of creativity in the midfield trio, Rooney not having a good night and Wales being significantly better opposition than the rubbish Bulgarians.
