The manager chose the team, he made the mistake of picking an internationally inexperienced goalkeeper for the most important match in over a year for England. The goalkeeper doesn't just keep goal, he orders the defence about into an effective unit, and he sees the entire match.

England looked good in attack, although quite dispirited after the poor start. We certainly aren't crap at football; despite the managerial shortcomings we only just missed out. However our players never seemed to be in the right place when the ball was cleared or richocheted.

In the end it was quite gutting to know that we should have qualified, that our players are good enough, but that the management was so poor it negated it all.
