Davies should have been there. He was rock solid all year unlike what I have seen these last 2 games.
With Bruce and Davies playing England would not have conceded that 2nd goal. Jagielka is totally out of his depth at international level
The frustrating thing is that this defensive performance was so predictable. How long have people been saying that the selections at the back were questionable at best? And although this is probably stating the bleeding obvious, the lack of quality at the back is clearly affecting our ability to get the best out of the central midfield. A great pity given that this appears to me to be one of the best forward lines England has assembled for a good while. I wish Davies and Thudd were playing!
Bruce had two good games all season - Liverpool and the final - other than that he was **** - which on tonights performance makes him well qualified to play for England I suppose
To be honest, the fact you thought anyone on this thread was being serious about Alex Bruce is concerning.
Yes, it can; but it really shouldn't, not at this level. No decent defence, appalling Centre midfield of StevieG and Henderson; but if anyone can tell me what the game plan was between Welbeck, Rooney, Sterling (WTF) and Sturridge, I'm all ears. That was the worse prepared football team I've seen for some time.
