On his record-breaking 116th appearance for England, Wayne Rooney was once again the subject of criticism amongst football fans and the media.
Playing in a deep-lying midfield role after being told by Sam Allardyce to play where he pleased, the Manchester United ace was poor and failed to make any meaningful contribution throughout the 90 minutes.
Indeed, had Adam Lallana not spared England's blushes with a last-minute winner, Rooney's performance would have been scrutinised even further.
Whilst comfortable in possession and confident of his playmaking abilities, England's captain is no midfielder and should be further up the field trying to score goals, not playing 10-yard passes in the centre of the park.
That's the view of former professional and Times columnist Tony Cascarino, who believes Rooney is trying - and failing - to emulate Andrea Pirlo.
