England basically told us what we already knew.
Of all the regular starters, did any enhance or damage their reps? Young and Rooney went down; Welbeck and perhaps Johnson, ever so slightly, went up. Hart up, maybe (though a penalty save would've helped).
Gerrard was by far the most creative attacking force, but is still a liability when it comes to controlling the centre. Terry's a doughty fighter, but so, so slow. So both par for the course. Anyone else?
Even the manner of their departure seemed like a cruel sign that, long term, nothing is really changing.
