I'm worried about this so called rebuilding project. Firstly, I cannot believe how weak our qualifying group is. When you consider the quality of our opposition it is almost a scandal that this is a qualifying grouobfor a major international tournament. However, that aside, it means we will arrive at the euros without this rebuilt team ever having faced a serious competetive test. So with that in mind it seems that we have to find a way of creating that competetion from within. So why, I find myself asking, are we fielding such strong sides against the likes of San Marino at home? I don't think the first half on Thursday would have been quite as lacklustre if the team wasn't full of players who are fairly sure that they're a confirmed part of the project.
Tonight has been better, but arguably it's been the likes of Delph - players who are in and out of the team and playing for their shirts - who have performed.
