Agbonlahor is a phenomenal striker, explosive speed mixed with deadly finishing. I don't know why people seem to think he is not on form at the moment. I saw him play yesterday and he was as good as he has ever been.

But outside of him the strikers that have been chosen are not great. Heskey is good, but finishing is not his strength. Crouch isn't that good, but he can score goals all day, stats don't lie and his international stats are more impressive than most. I have every respect for Carlton Cole, he is a fine player, but worthy of England status, I dunno?

The Aston Villa midfield is very closely knit, they are extremely good at working together. That is why I reckon three of them will play against spain, especially as Capello needs to try the players out. Although Villa have been recently playing a five man midfield lately so I don't know if he wants to do the same.
