It never works. Maybe it worked against Slovenia, I don't know because I didn't see that game, but whenever I've seen him play on the left it hasn't worked.

At Liverpool he mainly plays just off of Torres, but can also play in the center of midfield or on the right. I've never seen him played on the left for us.

Rooney should have been dropped from the squad after the first 3 games, and Gerrard should have been moved to play just off of Defoe, with either Joe Cole playing on the left.
