Too many long balls wasting possession first half.
Did not get ahead of his namesake, denying us possession high up the pitch.
These two cannot play together, until the manager comes out and says who is holding and who is attacking. Shared responsibility = no responsibility.
Delivery at set pieces was poor by his standards, but most of the best crosses still came from DB.
Lots of trickery, looked lively in both matches so far. With some better movement ahead of him he can hook-up and get himself into the box where he can score.
Glaring miss first half. Delighted with his goal, and glad to see he did not get so many fouls called against. Would like to see him play on the last man the way Koeller does for the Czechs rather than dropping deep all the time. Partnering Crouch and Rooney might be the way to go.
Might have had his last kick in the World Cup?
Lennon has plenty of speed and will force opposition to double up. Agree his crossing needs to improve. Downing deserves a start on the left flank, but I don't see him ousting J.Cole.
MovementYes, but we are talking about England, our players NEVER turn up consistently at the big tournaments. All the hype and bravado that came from the players and the...
It's still clear they don't have clear responsibilities on the field. Easiest way to show who is doing what would be to drop either SG or FL and play a clearly labelled DM player. But sadly SGE does not have the bottle for that. Might need a suspension or injury to force the situation.
