Cahill a big strong lad who was captain for the night. Yet when he should have stood tall and strong turned his back and allowed the shot past him. In the past a defender would stand strong, take the hit and carry on. Now it seems players turn their backs because they may get hit by the ball and it might give them a fucking boo boo. Shocking display of self preservation even if it was a friendly.
Dele Alli showed why he needs to keep his head down and put the effort in. He may have the potential to be a very big player. However tonight showed he still has lots to learn about finishing. If he wants to be a great player he needs to change that otherwise he will never reach that potential. it was harder to hit the keeper than the back of the net yet somehow he did.
Overall England played decent enough and the loss won't hurt the team in any way, shape or form. It was a nothing game and even more so after the events earlier in the day.
