[@angusmayo4493]

Sad that Parker only started getting played when he was declining with age. Seems like he could have been the answer to how to play Gerrard and Lampard in the same team. Just think about if England had played a 4-2-3-1 with Parker (as the holding mid) and Gerrard (with freedom to move up and down the pitch) in the 2 and Lampard (pushing forward to join the striker) as the attacking mid. Similar to the way Brozovic worked with Modric and Rakitic in 2018.

[@leebush4053]

Parker was an average player at best. Overated and fortunate to get where he did. You are correct in the role he played. We had the answer to that problem for years before this. His name was Michael Carrick.
