England World Cup squad/11

Tbf to Roy Lallana really didn't impress in any of the warm up games, think he made the right call there, Sterling had a good game.

Rooney had 2 touches in Italy's Area.  That has to change if we are to qualify.

TBF to everyone i havent seen any of englands games so cant really comment on how he has played it was just for past few months
and even upto the end of the week people were talking about lallana as a cert to start now he seems last resort behind every man and his guide dog

Paying lallana in the defensive two would be such a bad decision and if we left lost then hodgson would be getting so much stick on this and every other forum. Henderson broke down more plays than anybody and was fast against that "ageing" midfield.

Also think Rooney criticism is too much. He's played much worse than that for England.

I think we did have a plan b as well. Hodgson put wilshire and Barkley on who he thought would be fast/athletic against a old, tiring Italian midfield and both players like to commit players and run at them. I just don't think wilshire is the right player for it.

Agree with all of this. Good analysis.

Rooney will deliver tonight.

Rooney will deliver tonight.

I do hope you're right, and that it's this sort of delivery



Not this sort
