extremely bad teamwork, always looking for the easy ball and no dangerous movement in the final third. Japan looks like a team who have played together for ages and england playing for the first time together

Dear Mr Italian Man,

Please for the love of god take off A.Cole, Walcott, Rio and Bent

Dawson, A.Johnson, Anyone else at LB and maybe try Gerrard behind Rooney (Or Crouch/Defoe up top)

thinking of turning the commentary off. Ridiculous. Huddlestone loses possesion but it finds lennon...Lennon should have score right foot or left foot...huddlestone pulling shirt a bit for the goal (had absolutely fvck all to do with him lol)

Its sounding more and more like walcott is our RW. Beckham teaching him, lennon being shifted to the left and all that. At the end of the day, I'm a spurs fan first. Thank fvck we donthave to put up with someone like walcott every week or Harry making such a ridiculous selection.

Playing much better than we did against S.Korea. Fully expect England to come out and score a few though.
Want to see Crouchy and Daws on soon.

I'm shocked that Capello of all managers is still picking Walcott. He is utter shit. He shouldn't be anywhere near the squad, let alone the first team. He has really gone backwards the past couple of years. It looks like his confidence is completely shot aswell.

Lennon and Johnson on the wings in the second half please. But for the World Cup proper it's got to be Lennon on the right, Gerrard on the left and Barry and Lampard in the middle, with Crouch and Rooney up front. I can't even see Gerrard playing off Rooney, because Rooney loves to drop off. He needs a player alongside him, and Crouch is the only convincing striker to partner him.

Maybe Beckham isnt teaching Lennon because Aaron made a concerted effort to learn to cross this season... fat lot of good its done him as the sunday league sprint champion gets to see ten times as much of the ball to do one tenth as much with it..

Personally I think Mexico should have been the 'trial' game and players should have been cut from there. This game should have been pretty much the first team give or take one or two because of injuries. Feel sorry for Lennon as well who is having to play on the left because of this bewildering love affair with Walcott who is out of his depth.

Huddlestone has been neat and tidy, knitting the play well, couple of cracking long passes and only really mis placed one or two.

Lennon looking frustrated a little, but done a lot more than Walcott!

Back four has been really dodgy, full-backs have gone missing and Terry looks shaky!
