He has been poor, but he's had zero cover for the whole game.
Rooney hasn't tracked back once.
Shaw looked shíte against Ecuador when Rooney played on the left wing as well.

When you have been the worst full back in a side containing Glen Johnson you know you've had a shocker.

So , who else here was thinking earlier on that this game had 0-0 written all over it .

Talib Fiasco

That cross was incredible. Delighted for Mario.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Jesus, that was a terrible jump and roll from Wellbeck there.

LuckyGent88

Italian still making easy in roads down the English left hand side. Nobody is helping baines at all.

Why do people always say every goal was poor defending.

That was just a great goal. Cross was fantastic and very hard to defend against.

No reason Cahill couldn't have made the same run as Balotelli and got his head on it seeing as he was in front of him.

Is there a worse goalkeeper with a big reputation then Joe Hart?

Maybe I am being harsh on him in the replay, Glenjo covers himself in glory again of course

Massively over rated, but nothing he could do for the goal.

Rooney covered the most distance of all the English players in the first half!

Moneymaker

de Rossi is way off his game. He's been left for dead 4 or 5 times.

shamrock55

Rooney the forward has a shot on goal shock horror:eek:8

NIMAN

Gerrard needs sub'd but he's too big a name. HE's a passenger.

ratracer

Gary Kay-hill: First goal, ball through his legs, second goal he was left flat footed by super mario.

LightningBlue

There's more goals in this. Italy are very poor at the back.

mike65

England can get at this lot yet, question is whether they can stop another Italian ball in from the Itilain right.

Yea running away from the ball

NIMAN

Baines is trying to mark 2 down the left, Rooney watching instead of tracking back.

Lineker was hinting at HT trying to get people to slag Rooney off but no-one would.

efb

Lol

eigrod

that should've been a penalty.

Kirby

Shoulder barge. That's a damned penalty.

Too. Much. Beer.

Looked like Gerrard was outmuscled.

Will I Amnt

Gerrard finally does something... He needs replacing.

Gerrard doing the starfish

Did Verrati pick up a knock?

Maybe I need to caps it? Because apparently half the thread hasn't noticed.

Ahem....ROONEY IS ON THE RIGHT WING!

Hank Scorpio

Would love to see Barkley come on at some point. Not surprised Johnson was caught out for the goal

RoryMac

Someone needs to explain the offside rule to Balotelli

Optimalprimerib

That for me is a stonewall penalty.

We're all tired and drunk. Leave us alone!

People are acting like Rooney's inch perfect cross isn't the reason England have a goal in the first place.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Bit more invention now with Barkley and Sterling. Good things can happen for England here.

Johnson the centre half with cahill on his shirt?

Barkley for Welbeck maybe?

grumpymunster

Think Ash should be there, still the best LB England have Baines not even close to his quality

That's because it wasn't, it was a very good ball from Sterling, a good cross from Roo and a decent finish at the end of it from Sturridge.

NIMAN

Could someone tell me exactly what Neville is adding to this? He is just rattling off cliches.
