After a few distributions through damage and a famous no-show, the England team for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro looks highly fragile, but there is one area where they do present an abundance of talent. At this time, England are blessed with two exceptional left-backs in Chelseaas Ashley Cole and Evertonas Leighton Baines, but of course, the obvious problem is only one of them can start. Cole won his 100thAEngland cover last month, is a consistently outstanding artist, was once the best person in the world in his situation, and perhaps the only member of Englandas fabled aGolden Generationa to fulfill his potential on the international stage. Nevertheless the ability and type of Leighton Baines cannot be therefore easily ignored, and it's becoming increasingly evident he must dominate from Cole as Englandas first-choice left-back. Both are tenacious tacklers, rapid, positionally clever and difficult to defeat as defenders Cole and Baines are hard to separate;, but it is what they can provide going forward where Baines makes probably the most convincing argument for that No. 3 top. If the Premier League is where people audition for a place in the England aspect, then Baines will have the nod over Cole. Only evaluate their research in this season. Who scores more goals? Baines by way of a comfortable 5-1 margin (and 7-1 in every contests). Allows? Baines again, 4-2. And the beach widens even more when comparing possibilities designed, Baines is 93-16 ahead over Cole. There was even a stage earlier in the day this time where Baines had developed more possibilities than another person in not only the Premier League, but the whole of European soccer, and this wasn't only defenders, but involved strikers and midfielders too. For the past three months, he's perfectly done in the top 10Afor possibilities created in the Premier League, and he's destined to take action again this year. Baines is a dead-ball expert and supplies a notably larger goal risk than Cole. He can just take penalties, which historically can prove useful to England, and just watch his incredible free-kick for Everton against Newcastle United in the Premier League in January. Cole is more prone to cut in side and set off a move, while Baines has the ability to blow crosses directly in the penalty box with unerring precision, on forays down the left flank. Cole has never won for England in his 100 shows, whereas Baines has one previously from his 14 lids. The England manager Roy Hodgson is completely awareAabout the problem he's to fix. aThere will come a period when both are fit for an essential match and I'll need to fail certainly one of them,a Hodgson said last month. aThey will only have to battle it out and Iam sure your competition between them will be fierce. Then Iall have to produce a decision.a aLeighton proved himself if you ask me throughout the Euros and since that time when heas enjoyed several games in Ashleyas absence. So he doesnat want to do such a thing. He knows that heas with the capacity of playing for England at left-back.a It seems harsh on Cole, but Baines, four years younger than the Chelsea man, is making an overwhelming case to replace him and be Englandas left-back at the 2014 World Cup finals.
