Saw a lot of NCFC in England's performance tonight

Lack of passion, outfought for a lot of the game, played well for 10 minutes total, but missed what chances came along. Players out of position and frustrated, and finally a manager who doesn't seem prepared to throw his toys out of the pram and have a real go at the posing non-performers in the team.
2 players have risen to the challenge, however - Beckham and Robinson. Anyone having a go at either didn't watch the last 2 games.
