I thought the performance was the best for a long time against a big Russian side.We played some great quick stuff,and if not for poor finishing could have been a couple of goals up before half-time.Rooney in the second half had a great effort very well saved as it was tipped onto the post.Our pressure did eventually pay off with a brilliant free kick from an unlikely scorer in Dier.Beckham would have been impressed with that.Unfortunately we didn`t get the 2nd,and I feel our substitutes made us deeper which meant Russia were likely to get a chance.They got a free header in injury time which looped over Hart.We should have defended better,but when you have a poor defence like we do at the moment going deep isn`t a good idea.Personally Vardy coming on would have seen the game out better in my opinion.He would chase everything down against a knackered defence.The draw does feel like a loss because we dominated it,and played so well,but the defence once again could not hold out.Wales up next for us who looked decent with Bale leading them,we need to win the game.
