Bullard: Happy with England
Jimmy Bullard is hoping England will go with Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Gareth Barry against Belarus in their next World Cup qualifier.
The Fulham midfielder, who received his first international call-up earlier this season, does not see any reason why the three cannot be accommodated for the national side.
All three featured against Kazakhstan to mixed reviews, but Bullard thinks Fabio Capello should stick with the three against Belarus on Wednesday.
"Two great players [Lampard and Gerrard], same as Gareth Barry lets not forget him - he has done a great job, our midfield is so strong you could play any of them," he told Sky Sports News.
"I would play all of them, the best players out there - but Fabio [Capello] has his own ideas, he is a top manager, that is why we have him and he is proving his worth.
"Our squad is looking great, we have top players in great form but off the back of the [recent] wins I am sure confidence will be built up."
