Man Utd legend Cole maintains concerns for goal-shy England attack

Manchester United legend Andy Cole still has concerns over England's scoring threat.

Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe hit the winner against Slovenia last night.

And Cole wrote in his column for the Independent: "I was pleased for Jermain Defoe that he started and scored, but then again I look across the squad and wonder where the goals are meant to come from. Sure, England have conceded only one, but scoring just two in this group is not a great statistic.

"As I've written before, if I had been picking the squad, I would have taken five strikers with Darren Bent among them. I hope I'm wrong and goals will flow from somewhere else."
