Pace the obvious difference. You look at Gerrard breaking from midfield for Johnson's goal, and wonder why, when Lampard does that all the time for Chelsea, he can't be arsed to heave his fat arse towards the box for England. Walcott and the two Johnsons caused all sorts of problems going forward, even SWP, who remembered pace is his only real asset.
Of everyone, I thought Barry looked a yard off it, but perhaps he was just playing the anchor role very well.
Jagielka and Lescott did well too, especially the former who looks right at home at this level, albeit against lesser sides.
