I am beginning to think that pants writes for the Guardian
"There is understood to be consternation among England's defenders that they are not receiving enough protection from the team's midfield. Sol Campbell raised the issue after the Jamaica game and Rio Ferdinand brought it up again in Frankfurt on Saturday. It reignites the old argument about whether Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, for all their undoubted qualities, are ideally suited to play alongside one another.
Eriksson waited until the 82nd minute before attempting to remedy a problem that some of his players appear to have recognised earlier in the game.
The Swede brought on Owen Hargreaves for Joe Cole and though the Bayern Munich player was roundly booed by England's supporters, the introduction of a holding midfielder was a relief to a defence that, by that stage, was looking increasingly vulnerable."
