Jermain can help England over the Roon

It’s always going to be interesting when your team have to play without their main striker - and England are going to start Euro 2012 without Wayne Rooney.

England without Rooney is like Barcelona without Lionel Messi. Barca beat Sporting Gijon last weekend without Messi but it was a bit forced; a bit slower; a bit broken.

But when he returned against Bayer Leverkusen it made a huge difference. He was at the heart of everything. They can cope but if they want to go the distance then they need him.

Come in No 9: Defoe keeps goalkeepers working

It’s important Rooney is ready to play when the first two games are out of the way and he needs to come back at the top of his game. He can give England the lift to take them to the next level.

But when he’s not there England need someone who can hit the target and make the goalkeeper work - and Jermain Defoe is one of those players who will do it right from the start. He will have an important role for England and has started showing he can do it.

Our choices are limited because there aren't many strikers who can have that instant impact. Danny Welbeck and Daniel Sturridge have something about them but don’t have Defoe’s finishing, while Fraizer Campbell is new to England. 

In internationals you don’t get a hatful of chances. Whether he comes off the bench or starts he can do it.

Out of action: Rooney is banned for England's first two games

Left foot or right. That’s why he’s important for England.

And when Rooney is back Defoe can still have an impact, starting with him or as a sub.

It’s important that people like Defoe can come off the bench and make a difference. Like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Teddy Sheringham used to do for United.

It takes a special player to be able to step off the bench and pick the game up straight away. Defoe is that player.

Aim for third, Wenger

Arsenal are starting to win when they’re not at their best again.

The only way is up: Wenger's team are on a roll

They were two down against Tottenham and then scored five. One down against Liverpool and pulled off a late win. Four goals down against AC Milan and almost got it back. Maybe the criticism they received after losing 4-0 in Milan hurt them. Sometimes a group of players realise they have hit the bottom.

Targeting Tottenham above them should be their goal. They should be chipping away at that rather than panicking about fourth.

Arsene Wenger’s side are showing signs of recovery and gaining momentum. Now they have got to keep it going. I think they can catch Spurs.
