Itfascinates me that Michael Mancienne is not only a regular international at this level but captain of the team and that he's deemd good enough for the EPL by some people. He's a very weak player who was found out at CB so got shifted to midfield where he is even a bigger liability. Hamburg have just flushed £3.5m down the toilet.
To that end, it's unfair to judge Henderson on last night's performance - he did okay but until Rodwell, Lansbury and Sinclair came on late in the game he was playing in a very poor midfield against an excellent Spanish midfield.
Cleverly will never be good enough for United and will end up with a top Championship team, Danny Rose is a full back but Pearce played him at LM, he was totally out of his league, and Mancienne is woeful - so to expect Henderson to perform well is unfair.
I rate Lansbury very highly and Rodwell looks comfortable at this level. Added to that Sinclair is an infinitely superior wide man to either Cleverly or Rose and, I agree with an earlier post, Pearce should be sacked for putting out that original line-up.
If England start the next game; Sinclair-----Rodwell--------Lansbury-----Henderson, then they could do very well in this tournament.
