I have to disagree with you on this one. Every time he touched the ball, he passed it out of bounds or back to the Brits. Lampard was invisible the entire World Cup, was he not?
He played extremely well against Spain.
Edu is a solid defensive mid. I wouldn't play him at back, and I certainly wouldn't try what sweatpants tried the first half last night.
Look, I think he's definitely one of our top five players (Landycakes, Demps, Jones, Howard). My point is that he is/should not be an automatic start or unsubable.

I agree about Bradley. He sure seems to go through some excruciatingly long patches where his completion rate is pretty poor, including many dangerous giveaways like the one that almost led to a Colombian goal early on.

A bit of hyperbole there, as he was 24 of 40 in the England game, 60% completion percentage, which isn't that impressive. Yet this was not an isolated to Bradley, as the pass completion percentage for the whole game of both teams was 65%, meaning it was a very sloppy game. Given that, out of all the central midfielders on both teams, he ran the most and covered the most ground.

At this point, his work-rate is too valuable. Again in the game he and Edu both started, Bradley ran nearly twice as far as Edu. When we play our antiquated 4-4-2, his flex play is essential for the balance of the team. Whether we should play 4-4-2 is another story, but as long as we stick to it, Baby Bradley will probably be a staple.

Of course it is. And I agree that his work-rate is valuable.
