More patience was needed. Slow center backs, but they should've exercised more caution and got punished for it.

More patience was needed. That was the fault of #14 who decided with England all up front and committed he'd try and control the ball that was asking to be hit on the volley. Had he hit that ball on the volley there's no way England gets counter attacked. It was just poor decision making which is a feature of the England game.
