southbank1871 From what I saw (which as I said was only the second half), Shorey did OK and made a few decent breaks forward. He did, however, also needlessly give the ball away on a number of occassions, but he was not the only one guilty of that in the England team.
I'd say nothing has changed, he is still third choice if Cole and Bridge are fit.

Nicky Shorey 6
Performance Looked reasonable, although he was only up against David Odonkor – a late call-up to the squad and hardly a world-class winger. Confusion with Robinson led to the botched clearance that caused Germany’s equaliser.
Prospects Can be a solid back-up to Ashley Cole and could edge ahead of the injured Wayne Bridge in McClaren’s view.
Overall Team rated 5.9 so that makes him above average.
