It’s been a pretty even game although Portugal looks much better when they attack. Their left flank has been more productive with Ronaldo, Tiago and Figo creating the few chances. Not a good sign, Rooney dropping back downfield to feel that he is part of the game.
Beckham has disappeared, although the Gary Neville tandem is far better at pushing the ball up. Lampard got a decent chance in just before the half but he has been elusive but not in the losing the defenders kind of way.
England’s best chances come from the left side. Sven will probably have to substitute, bring on Carrick. Take out Lampard probably. I still think he should get another attacking option on the right, like Aaron Lennon.
