Well that was coming. Put selves under pressure and defended too deep hoofing it straight back to France. Great shot though.

This is where we need to be mentally strong and not crumble like Ireland last night.

It's frustrating. You can just see the Rabbit in headlights, desperately hold on to the lead until HT siege mentality creep in and you know exactly what's going to happen. And now the passes are looser and we're struggling to play as far up the pitch, conceeding possession way too easily and now France start to dominate.

So deep at the end of the first half. Hope we can get it together in the break and come out like we did in the first 30.

Indeed, almost to Craig Bellamy levels.

Lots to be encouraged about in that first half an hour, an England side that looked like a team, everyone knew their roles, lots of running between the lines particularly from Welbeck, and two solid banks of four in defence. Looked very comfortable.

Then we took the lead and started defending far too deep, for Nasri's goal there were 7 England players no more than 12 yards from goal, and no-one on the edge of the area.

This is a very winnable game. Shame Ox has a booking, that might stop him charging around, expect we'll see Downing with half hour left.

Johnson needs to stop bombing forward so much

We need to use Young more

Wellbeck is good at running around but I feel Carroll would cause more of a threat

When we do get possession up front I'd like to see us running it more. Three times we've got at or past the last man, and three times passed or cut inside at the penalty area (Ox once and Johnson twice).

Nice to see us starting the half defending ridiculously deep still and having no outlet. :roll:

Just compare this to the Ireland game where the ref blew up for every slightest contact. Ludicrous you can have two such differently reffed matches within days of each other at a major international tournament. He's let go stuff that other refs were giving yellows for.
