Well we are through to the next round! But what a struggle? Surely our performance must improve? Otherwise I can see a quick exit from the competition. Well that is not all bad news then - the property market is dead! We hope it is due to the nation’s interest in the competition.

With Michael Owen out of the competition, and a half fit Rooney - where we do go next? Walcott seems to have been a mistake unless Sven is keeping an ace up his sleeves, and he will unleash him in the next round?

Perhaps we will play 5 in midfield with Rooney up front, and bring on Crouch when he tires in the second half. I thought Owen Hargreaves played quite well in a holding role so we can assume he may keep his place with Beckham (although I would like to see Lennon given a chance), Lampard, Gerrard and Cole making up the numbers. This formation would allow Lampard and Gerrard to attack. Lampard must get one shot on target soon!

One of the most worrying aspects was the fragility of our defence from set pieces. Bring back Ferdinand, Campbell seemed to be off the pace. Hopefully, the coaches can rectify the  marking before the next match.

I still believe we can beat Ecuador but will we go much further?  Realistically no unless we can find some fluency and pace in attack. Oh well, at least business should be picking up soon then!!
