Big problem area after last night. Johnson was ponderous in attack, slowing everything down. And Baines just didn't look up to it - unprotected but poor defensively, barely stopped a cross coming in, and did nothing going forward, which is his strength.
I'd give Shaw a go, but looks like maybe he should have taken Cole and Shaw, not Baines and Shaw. Just one game I know, but never been convinced by Baines at international level.
