[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1074619, member: 56232"] Italy looked improved against France but still fell away at the end. England have got to not just beat Italy, but have got to dominate them and beat them convincingly at all level throughout the entire game. If we "dominate" again but struggle to break down Italy's defence, again resorting to aimless kicks, that would be a strong indicator that Jones has created a team full of creative players but is playing a gameplan that is completely uncreative. If he's going to play a basic bash them into submission gameplan, he should select the players for that. He isn't, he's selecting players for a quick, expansive game but then not playing that game. If Jones is still running the attack himself, he must seriously consider his competence in that role as our attack has rapidly gone downhill since the world cup. Also our penalty count MUST be significantly lower than Italy's. To concede more than them would be shambolic. [/QUOTE]
