The lack of technical ability and skill to retain possession of the football was embarrassing in comparison to the Italians.
On the plus side we will win our world cup qualifying group easily again... and so it goes on...... We need Jack Wilshere to come in and step upto the plate, hopefully more to come from Ox.... Lescott has came good and maybe alongside cahill or phil young he can develop a good long standing partnership....
You can't polish a turd..

Rooney world class for United.. average at best for England.. now he's either over rated... or, for England he isn't getting quality ball from Scholes or Carrick..

How do you seriously expect a forward to look good when their midfield is being dominated. We had less than 40% of possession. The abuse of Rooney is strange, he could be zidane, but until we get a working, fluid midfield nothing will change.

Promising enough. Johnson has learnt to defend. Hart is established. We need new centre halfs. Cahill + Jones or Smalling.

We need a new centre midfield partnership, cleverly, Wiltshire stand out. Ox on the wing. I still think Young has a future despite a poor tournament.
