Good game, Holland slightly lucky to come away with a point but that's football.

Did anyone catch Schmeichel and Hansen talking about David James at half time? They agreed with me that Henry was going nowhere and that if James had stood up and forced him wide he wouldn't have been able to get a shot away... :?

After repeated viewings I think James was at least partially at fault for both goals, especially the freekick.

If you watch it the freekick goes into the goal in exactly the position where James should've been standing!

Why was he trying to cover the wall's side of the goal?

And for the penalty why come out feet first?
The whole point of being a goalie is that you can use your hands!

Was he worried about getting a boot in the face?
I hate "pretty boy" goalies, goalkeepers should have a face like a bag full of spanners and not be afraid to get a kick in the face!
