After weeks of wall-to-wall praise in which England had been all but awarded the William Webb Ellis trophy, Martin Johnson and co are being told - in no uncertain terms - to buck their ideas up sharpish.

"No pattern, no control and nowhere near the winners of the World Cup," is the Daily Express' brutal verdict in its headline with the report going on to say that "England's manifold problems are growing more manifest by the game."

The Daily Mail sums up the performance in one word: "Shocker," while The Daily Telegraph takes a slightly more balanced line encouraging England to use the match as a "wake-up call."

Arsenal's return to the top of the Premiership table is also a popular topic although it is Gunners boss Arsene Wenger's spot of a controversial penalty decision during his side's 1-1 draw against Charlton that attracts most of the comment.

Admittedly it was a penalty against Arsenal with Charlton's Matt Holland winning the decision, but everyone has to start somewhere and we should be pleased that Wenger's eyesight is improving.

"Matt's a first, Weng," reads the Daily Star's back-page headline, with The Sun explaining Wenger felt the alleged dive was even worse than Robert Pires' tumble against Portsmouth last month.

England's cricketers preparations for the second Test against Bangladesh comes in for some examination with most papers focussing on whether spinner Ashley Giles will be retained after a disappointing display in the opener.

The Guardian claims Giles' game is "in pieces" while The Times offers a detailed technical explanation of the spinner's problems.
