Well England have played their last home fixture before the world cup and I have to say – It really has not made anything any clearer.
It was an unusual England line up with Gerrard on the Left, which didn’t really work as he naturally drifts in field. Lampard, Terry and Cole were all absent so you can’t get a real feeling for the team without these three main members.
Ledley King played, last year King only played one game at a time (With a rest, not in the clichéd one game at a time saying way.) But with Spurs reaching for the champion’s league he was forced to play a lot more towards the end of the season and it started to show as he was looking very tired.
He did however score the first goal but was shown up and arguably at fault for the Mexico goal. The second Tottenham Scorer of the night was Crouch, As I have been only to happy to tell people I am not a fan of Crouch. Even though he has scored many vital goals for Spurs this year I have simply never liked the way we play with him on the pitch. Incredibly skill full players forget how to work the ball and switch instead to just always try to play the long ball to him. It is a shame as he is a great player in his own right; I can just assume that when people lookup he is always the one they see.
Goal of the Game went to Glen Johnson who for my 2 cents cemented his place on the plane next week. Tom (The Tank) Huddlestone came on for a short outing and looked capable, if I was Capello I would make sure he is on the plane as we need a bit of strength in an otherwise flimsy midfield.
So in summery the result was of cause good and gives us something to work on but until we get the full squad together we won’t have a clue how our summer will be.
