very much so considering they were England's 2 best players. Welbeck, Lescott and the 4 defenders can also say they played well tbh.

This is just like looking at an OMT after a Spurs game. Sigh.

:ross: Are you "havin' a laugh"!?
Isn't that what a defensive midfielder is supposed to do?

He used the ball well today I thought. One of his forward passes was absolutely lovely.

Yep I hear you .. But so long as we finish in top four, we've done well, we should be happy even with fourth.8-[

Freund was the best at flinging himself in front of the ball.

The kind of performance i was expecting. At the end of the day, i dont think we have the players in the squad to take it to teams, especially when the opposition do have some quality players who can hurt us. I think it was shown in the couple of matches prior to the tournament how we would set up and dont expect things to change. We looked drilled to sit fairly deep, allow teams to play in front of us and then look to counter or make the most of our set plays. It might not be pretty but tactically with the players we have i think Roy has probably got it spot on. Dull as anything though.

You're being very harsh on Parker. A couple of times he was under real pressure, turned on the ball and kept possession (that by the way is skill), he also picked out some good passes including one 30 yard crossfield pass that I didn't even know he was capable of!

We stifled France's attacking game, which takes some doing. I thought it was an excellent performance overall - even with some players who probably don't deserve to be in the side. France will cause a lot of other teams problems. I thought Parker and Gerrard were very disciplined and as a unit the back four and midfield played well. Wellbeck was good too.
We 'll probably get done for a bit of invention and flair eventually, but at least, at times, we passed the the ball forward early and quickly for a change, instead of hoofing it up.

we didn't do too badly tonight, the only thing that worried me is that we sat far too deep. we genuinely didn't challenge anyone until they got to the 18 yard line.

One thing I'm a little disappointed with the competition is not the football , which has been decent but it's the little coverage we've seen outside the stadiums.

Looking forward to this game.
Draw a good result for England.

I agree , it's what I expected too and I'm surprised at how surprised some people are at the game plan . Was good enough for Fulham to make a Europa Cup final and Roy employed same tactics with 'lesser' national teams in other tournaments.
