Even Crouch hasn't played that much for Liverpool this season, Rooney and maybe Owen when he manages to stay fit are the only strikers that England have that play week in week out for their club. I think thats the biggest problem.

Defoe had 'issues' with his manager, Bent has been injured and isn't really good enough, Walcott is still really young and has been playing, what about Ashton, Johnson and Young, they are all English and first team regulars?
