It was as we thought it would be.
Lots of speed, power, pace.
Russia couldn't really cope with it, unfortunately.
When the ball got into the really vital areas inside that penalty area, the finish wasn't there.
Either the composure or the ability, but it just wasn't there.
And that was a great shame.
Alan Lallana did many fine things I thought in that game but he had two great chances which I'm sure he'll reflect on with a bit of regret that he didn't put them away and that kind of set the tone didn't it because I do believe had England got ahead earlier on in that first half then they would have had a bit more confidence with the way they started the second half.
played with more freedom, been a bit more relaxed, probably the second goal would have followed and Berezutski's injury time equaliser would have been an irrelevance because they'd have been two down.
So it's a shame, but they've got to reflect on better finishing.
But the way they played, the way they set up, the way the full-backs attacked, the way Wayne Rooney played in midfield, all great positives.
Just want to see...
A bit more composure up front with the finishing and then perhaps slightly better decision making from the likes of Raheem Sterling when he did get into a good position.
And he did for many, many times during the game.
But by the end, even the fans were getting frustrated with him because he just couldn't quite convert that into a killer pass or the shot that was needed or something.
It just kept breaking down.
And that was a little of a concern.
But apart from that, I thought England played pretty well, actually.
I was mildly impressed with the fact that England were able to keep going for as long as they did to keep that momentum up.
Certainly one of them, Andy, yeah.
Yeah.
