Regarding last nights "game", it really did show the gulf in class between England`s players and France`s. The skill and composure when on the ball displayed by most of the French team was outstanding compared to the England team who couldn`t control the ball for toffee. Has marking/running with a player been banned by Capello? The amount of times the French were able to play neat and tidy football without an England player getting near the ball was frankly embarassing, even when they did get it everyone ran away from the ball carrier so he even had to hoof it up front or go backwards or sidewards.
No disrespect to Newcastle or Blackpool but when your two main strikers are from clubs that have only just come up to the premiership you know the situation is pretty grim. Carroll looked ok but the future? If that`s the future then
The players just aren`t good enough technically, the only one who would probably make the top 20 worldwide sides is Gerrard, the rest look distinctly average
