ENGLAND 1 ITALY 2
Easy to sum this up.....
NO PLAN B.....
We have taken too many of the same type of player.
I actually thought we didnt play that bad but just didnt have a focal man in the centre and you just cant walk the ball into the net against seasoned defences.
An Andy Carroll or a Peter Crouch for the last 20 mins could have given us at least a draw.
A Jermaine Defoe who is a poacher would have been a better take then Lambert.
The other thing is ....Why cant they bring off Rooney....
He was one of our worst players and still they leave him on...
I wouldnt have brought off Henderson i would have taken Gerrard off as i thought he had NO impact going forwards.
Baines cant defend and was poor going forward and Johnson was another out of position a lot and no impact going forward..infact was gettting to close to Stirling in the second half.
Thought Stirling played well but was left too wide in the second half and Sturridge and Wellbeck only really had a decent first 30 mins before the game passed them by.
Barclay and Wiltshire have to play a bigger part in the next two games
On that performance we cant win the world cup but maybe we can still make the knockout stages but changes will have to be made.
All bets tonight LOST....
Now stands at ....
210 points
Tomorrow we look at the 5pm game
