I don't necessarily buy into that. The level of depth and talent they have - especially young talent - is incredible. I can't think of a team that regularly underachieves as heavily as England do.

As for Siopis, last night proved what I've long thought of him. A good player when the pace of the game is slower and less chaotic. But a duck out of water in the frenzied, physical intensity of a typical Championship game.
