well that was a good effort by England

I thought we looked quite good.I would settle for that scoreline at the end too.But of course would love the win. All I ask is just do not lose,thats all.

 

Brilliant effort. First time for what seems forever I've actually witnessed some passion from every single England player, good stuff....

 

Great result. They could have had more, but so could we.

 

My only grumble is that we seemed to tire after 60 mins, this is a problem we have had for years now and i still dont understand the problem.

 

I thought we just decided we were happy with the draw. We lacked any attacking intent for much of the last 30 other than a hoof up front to clear our lines. Worked though, its a good point.

 

Thats were i have to disagree, the attacking intent was still there but we lacked that burst of energy that France seemed to have. Our defence is going to be our strongest point, and hopefully Young plays better in the next game and we can get a couple of goals

 

Fair enough, there probably was some fatigue, they worked hard off the ball, but in the last 30 Ox and Milner were playing as defenders, Young and Wellbeck were up front to hold it up, which they didn't do well, it just kept coming back.

 

Superb defensively on the whole. Midfield was combative but barely strung two passes of note together. Going forward we were pretty *****. That said, I'll take that as something to build on.

 

Great effort against a strong french team I am well pleased

 

Pretty much how I saw it. Our lack of any creativity worries me a little though. Still, I'd have taken 1-1 before kick off

 

Only in second half for 30 mins of first half we held the ball ok

 

But it wasn't a negative move to put on Defoe, Henderson and Walcott. I thought it quite an attacking line-up from the start, with Young, Wellbeck and Oxlade-Chamberlain. I did think that Scotty Parker looked pretty knackered from about the tenth minute, though. How come Cabaye did not get booked????

 

God only knows.
