im not defending d james tonight

I can't, it was his error, hes 35 now and its pointless me doing so anyway really

Its best to look and see from 1-0 down how england decided to react to that

Their reaction was not to go at the danes and fight back but to allow them to get another two, virtually without pressure too, thats a problem

Gerrard is a very good play, but so is lampard, but one of them has to go as they can't play together

The whole shape and performance of england tonight for me centres around this, as the defence being poor (but I don't think thats the big issue)

Lampard and Gerrard had the whole Euro 2004 together and didn't for me, cope with any team

Likelihood is neither will be dropped, and this will be Englands undoing in 2006
