Why on earth no one has thought of using one or two solid, hard working holding midfielders such as Hargreaves or Barry providing the defensive graft and coverage behind a skillfull player such as Joe Cole or, preferably, Wayne Rooney with two strikers, or two wingers and a target man in front (ie. 4-1-2-1-2 or 4-2-3-1 respectively) just baffles me.
