I actually quite enjoyed watching the game last night, it was good end to end stuff much like an English cup tie, Poles were good on the break.
I don't really get Sturridge, I think he has quick feet and pace but his finishing is at times woeful but he offers more than most that are in competition for the striker spot like Defoe and Lambert.
Hart is so inconsistant in goal, one minute brilliant the next appalling, although he was fairly solid yesterday.
Gerrard and Rooney both had their best England games for ages, Gerrard is ok but not brilliant for England but doesnt let us down, unlike Lampard who goes missing for days on end in some games
Carrick did well in front the back 4 and for me works better with Gerrard than Lampard does.
I really enjoy watching Townsend with the ball, hes a much better player for me already than Walcott, Milner or Oxlade-Chamberlain, much more direct with a great long range shot on him, eager and wanting to run with the ball.
Welbeck looks so clumsy yet seems to get in our best attacking positions and often does well, I like his unpredictability.
For me the best player on the night though was Baines, who goes about his duty really well and is hardly ever out of position even though he bombs forward all the time.
No we won't win the World Cup next year but I think this team can get to the Quarters again.
Let the unrealistic expectations of the nation begin....
