I think that the general thought was that Young had a better season than Rose. But you're correct, Young wasn't great.
In general, I thought the England team played really well for the first 20 minutes or so and then reverted to type. Harry Kane, despite the two goals, looked strangely sluggish for long periods of the game and Sterling was poor - Rashford looked like an upgrade when he came on. Loftus-Cheek also looked good when he came on, but how much of his and Rashford's good performance was due to coming on against tired opponents is a bit of an unknown.
They mentioned the midges, but I hadn't heard it used as an excuse. It wouldn't surprise me though - modern footballers are nothing if not precious flowers!
