Euro 2012
What do people think about England's performance last night then?

I was fairly impressed by the way the side played as a unit - worried that as our players ran out of gas in the final quarter the French would convert possession into pressure but they looked just as knackered!

Gerrard's loss of pace over the past couple of years left him rather exposed at times, but at least he kept plugging away sitting in front of the back four to put some decent tackles and blocks in.

Wasn't impressed with Wellbeck after the opening 30 minutes as the French blonde haired centre half looked very static and Wellbeck should have put some pressure on him.

If we are to progress beyond the quarter final stage the team is going to have to take better care of the ball and develop the confidence in a more incisive passing style - however, I suspect we lack both time and the players at this tournament to do so.
