In the circumstances this was a good performance and there's not many England matches that warrants this description. I didn't think the scoreline flattered us but the goal they scored flattered them, as this, plus the shot against the crossbar were their only worthwhile efforts.

Wish I went with my gut feeling and put a tenner on Townsend scoring. Probably would have got odds of around 12-1 too. Townsend deserved MOM and looks a better option than the predictable Walcott on the wing.

Hate to say it but I thought Gerrard was the worst England player. He's been a tremendous player over the years but sadly I think he's past it and that includes at club football.

Still not convinced about Kyle Walker and Phil Jagielka and that Lampard should be starting. Been quite impressed with Welbeck since he's began playing for England. Does look laborious but has good technique and get's in good goalscoring positions even though he's out wide.

And Sturridge Has more in his locker than any previous England striker I've seen in my time and that includes Lineker, Shearer, Rooney & Owen!
