Another competent performance against meager opposition earns the three lions a three point tally. Respect to Steve Mclaren for keeping the Barry/Gerrard central midfield pairing as it continued to pay dividends again today.
Wright-Phillips goal was another example of just how effective he is at international level. I guess it all boils down to pace and positioning for him… He is a clear example of why the premier league will miss Jose Mourinho. Wright-Phillips has gotten exponentially better in the past year and he’s bagged himself another goal although I do have to concede that Mart Poom got stuffed. Is he even a championship level keeper anymore? League 1 anybody?
Rooney’s strike was also a bit soft, but it was still good to see him end that sickening goal drought. If there’s one thing I know about Wayne Rooney, it’s that once he scores after going through a lean spell in front of goal he starts to bang them in on the regular.
Additionally, that was probably one of the funniest own goals I’ve ever seen.
