Tara's worse nightmare(James) could happen unless Robinson takes more command of his area. A great shot stopper but last night woefull in dealing with anything from the sides.

Why on earth were we placing a total non header of the ball marking the near post target man for the first goal? Plus Beckham was stood behind the Swedish player?

That position requires an aggresive header of the ball and someone who is not afraid to take a bang in doing so.

But hey 50 million of us would pick a totally different England team wouldn't we? That Sven what does he know? Pah! :P
