I thought we were playing route one football just because of the lanky and untalented Peter Crouch. But he didn't even get to play yesterday and we were still doing it!

That style of play will never win the World Cup - as Germany will find out when they play Argentina.

We need to utilise our midfielders like Gerrard and Lampard more with clever short passing. There were signs in the second half that were encouraging. A couple of passes went astray which could have been converted into goals.

Gerrard needs to push forward and support Rooney.

16 mins: Italy are playing plenty of long balls at the moment. Very un-Italian. Perhaps they've been watching videos of England?

More BBC sarcasm, well-deserved IMHO.
