England v France

[Craig_H]

Lovely goal from France, Benzema and Malouda with a tidy little one-two (which wouldnt have been allowed to happen against a top side), before Benzema finishes by beating Foster at his near post

England are basically Gerrard and 10 passengers. This could be end up being very embarrassing for England.

[dww]

Massive gaps between England players both with and without the ball. Look nearly as bad as we do this season.

Hollywood Gerrard needs to remember he has ten team mates. Too often he trys pathetic through balls from distance. They do come off every now and then, but to often he just easily gives up possession, especially when he's in a deeper role.

I do notice these passes tend to happen more often when he feels he has to do it all on his own.

France are taking the absolute piss here. England almost making them look a good side. Both side's world cup campaigns were just as bad though, if England had of been in France's group they would have went out at that stage as well.

When the **** are you lot going to get rid of that annoying band?

Look at the team, he does have to.

Surely James "£24m man" Milner should be able to do more than just be one of 10 passengers...

Or maybe he's a bit **** and one of the most overrated/overvalued players in the history of english football.

M'Vila doesn't look like the type of midfielder we are desperate for!

I like Milner but £24m was a joke for him.

Wouldnt take him on a free, one paced....crawl. Work rate....**** all

[sevennilphil]

France are tearing England a new arsehole...quick passing, great movement.

Suddenly I'm quite happy we've got Commoli on board.

[dww]

I like Milner - good player when used correctly. I think holding his price tag against him is unfair. Probably doesn't have the pace to be a winger in this sort of formation.

England pressing better in the last few minutes.

I hate the fact as soon as you put a big centre forward in an England team the entire team thinks hoofing it the length of the pitch is a good idea.

Honestly think he's just an ok-to-quite good player, who is decent either in the middle or wide, but not especially great anywhere you put him.

In terms of CM, i dont think he is particularly better than someone like Scott Parker, or such of his ilk.

Been thinking the same thing.
