I hate how everyone is actually "pleased" with the result against Azerbaijan. No discredit to Azerbajian, because if they tried, they could be decent enough to not lose every game... but the gulf of talent was there for all to see. Okay, we didn't NEED to blitz them, but even when we never bothered, you could still see we weren't perfect. We are simply not a world class team.
And our goals against Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan - where did most of them come from? Unless I'm mistaken, most of our goals recently have not come from Beckham or Joe Cole crossing it into the centre from the wings, but from going straight up the middle. Maybe it's me, but doesn't this suggest we've been playing a style that doesn't seem to fit? Not that I'm not impressed with how both Beckham and Joe Cole are playing, because Beckham's doing very well and Cole has shown what he's made off. Unfortunately, now it's everyone else who's doing a little shit.
