On the 4-5-1, I don't see it as an inherently negative formation, however Capello got it wrong, again. If you are going to play one up front you need someone who can hold the ball up and feed the midfield and wingers. With Bent up front, when a midfielder picks up the ball you have all three forward players trying to get in behind, or at least moving away from the ball.
On this game, I turned it off after about twenty minutes after a particularly embarrassing period of play. Switzerland had knocked it long in to the channels, Cole shielded the ball to the byline, then the winger bundled him over giving a free kick away. England then preceeded to do exactly the same thing from the free kick. It was beyond idiotic, and frankly ridiculous. I just wish I would stop even giving this team a chance, after the Algeria game in the World Cup (the worst England performance in living memory imo) I said I would never watch this rubbish again. Unfortunately, when it comes to the next competitive game I normally tune in only to realise that they cannot even manage a level of technical competence that the Albion exhibit week in week out with vastly inferior players. Yesterday was the final straw, no more England matches for me, every international period I will be watching one of the proper football nations instead.
