We can't be too harsh on England tonight they kept going with loads of relatively young players

But it's the experienced players that looked confused.

Gerrard & Lampard - asked to break up play and distribute to inventive players. Foreign role to both of them. Limits Lampard's spot on late charges into the box and Gerrards crossing (his strengths are in decline)

Johnson - No interest in defending. Pushed Milner out of position

Milner - who? Oh, the guy who didn't know where to play. So he didn't play.

Liverpool, Chelsea, City a few experienced top level lads confused about their jobs tonight. Speak up lads.

The same problem when we had Brayford as an attacking RB and Lee Croft as a static RW.. It doesn't work, because everytime the RB moves forward there isn't any space behind the opposing fullback if the RW (Milner) doesn't cut inside, or doesn't hit the byline..

Milner is a defensive RW that can't cross very well (it's OK to be defensive if you can cross like Beckham).. People expect way too much of him, like he's gained a reputation for being some kind of terrorising winger (someone like Di Maria).. The problem he has is that Man City paid so much for him (his real value would be aound $8mill rather than the $20mill+) and that people think he should be far better than he is.. He offers good defnesive work in games against better opposition, against mediocre opposition like Ukraine he's going to look ****)..

The whole of our rightside is just wrong..

The underlying problem with this England team is they simply lack the basic pass and move football that the best teams do at will.. Even those that aren't particularly high up in the rankings (Japan, Mexico, Chile, Belgium, Croatia, Colombia etc.) are far superior than England at basic pass and move football (something you need at International level)..
