    No he wasn't - tricks & skills into the corner flag. And he couldn't cross for shit either. Where is he now?? he was in the U20's. You know what that is? The U21 B-team.

    Routledge has a genuine consistent final ball that not even Lennon could claim - he did have a direct impact on the game at St. James' this season.

    That was Bramble ok, they were average crosses that should've been dealt with. ok

    I'm talking that one off season, not whats happened since, where neither player has done much.

    However the game between Charlton and Palace, Thomas was the clear star.

    He is still young and he can be marked out of a game. Lack of top-level experience is a real problem if you're talking about promoting him to the senior squad.

    The player he reminds me of most is a young Michael Owen, electric pace but he is easily muscled off the ball. I think the run in the U21 is the best thing to build a bit of confidence and get some games after the Germany debacle.

    Slightly different IMO - Owen was a better fox in the box.

    Walcott has more flair and technique than Owen

    @ Parky. You mean the last day were Routledge forced the 'keeper into a great save from 30 yards, and supplied the through ball which led to Johnson's penalty?

    They're not identical I agree, and Walcott's dribbling (from what I have seen) is better.

    But I wouldn't expect Walcott to walk into the first team and have a dramatic impact in the way that, say, Rooney did in his early England games.

    No, the game at Palace.

    I never saw the game at the Valley.

    @ roger

    It was just an option thrown in the mix. In a few years I think 4-3-3 is the way forward.

    There is no way he should be in the squad when Cole is fit, it was just an option to consider on the left instead of Downing
