Six defenders...
That's all the national team can do...defend.
Owen was unfortunately an exception. Wish we had more exceptions like him. I remember a few years back when it seemed we had too many good strikers. Shearer, Sheringham, Wright, Owen, Fowler all bagging 20 goals a season.
We have a very good defense and a pretty good midfield, we don't need the youth teams coughing up 6 defenders a year, we need goalscorers, someone the very good midfield players (including Rooney, he isn't a goalscorer) can set up goals for.
