Overall i actually felt England were okay last night despite losing. Shape was good, limited Italy to very few threatening opportunities and picked their moments closing down pretty well. Just felt back 4 was weak, Baines and Johnson positinally are poor and Cahill is half the player without JT next to him.
Henderson played okay for me but Gerrard tried far too many hollywood balls and time and time again gave possession back to Italy. And our worst fault last night was that when we did get the ball we did not counter quick enough!
Costa Rica done us a favour so not all is lost but Thursday is crucial!
