I was not being hard on Ashley Cole, he has been a consistently good performer for many years ...I was suggesting that he was not an experienced or regular penalty taker .
Roy's defence has worked well ...however, we have no out ball and we are being outpassed in midfield. Cole and Johnson have to push up and act more like wingbacks when we are in possesion....our attacks are becoming ever more futile
TBH, as an international he is over rated, running around, fruitless harrying of defenders and swearing at every decision that goes against him is not the mark of a great player.
