No knee jerk reactions

I'll leave the knee jerk reactions to the red-tops tomorrow morning.

Me, I'm going to get my moaning in first.

I like England friendlies, the chance to see England play without the pressure of results, penalties or tournament elimination.

However, unlike most England fans and certainly all of the 'lower end of the food chain' tabloids, I would rather learn something from a friendly and lose the match, than beat someone and learn nothing.

Tonight, though, is different.

This is what we will learn tonight:

1. Micah Richards is, in fact, completely over-rated and we'll all cry ourselves to sleep in the knowledge that Gary Neville (53) is still our best right back


2. Andy Johnson is an over-rated, cheating, no-trick cart-horse


3. Steve Gerrard can't play on the right and isn't it good to see that shown (yet) again ?


4. Proof that while we may have one of the best starting elevens in the world, numbers 12 onwards wouldn't (and in some cases, don't) get into their respective league sides


5. McClaren must go !!!!!
