Yep, I feared the worst when I saw the squads, but in fairness to Giggs I think he came out of it with some credit.
Yes the eventual scoreline was 3-0 but I think that flattered England, and papered over some of the issues they still have in their squad.
Our pressing was very good at times, quite a few times we won the ball back in dangerous areas, but were unable to make those count.
For the first hour I'd say the teams were pretty even, just the defensive errors costing us.
After that England did get on top, possibly our players started to tire, or possibly the substitutions made them more difficult to press, or perhaps the scoreboard had knocked the stuffing out of them all things considered, it's about the most positive I've felt after a 3-0 defeat.
