Funny everybody goes after Sterling. He didn't have a great game but he offered something different to everybody else and we actually looked most dangerous when he was committing players. Harry Kane was woeful and not a single word said about him.
Thought we looked really good, taking Rooney off who was playing great was an awful substitution though.
Didn't think he had that bad a game either. Broke them open enough times, though obv some touches were terrible. We've had worse starts to a tournament and just ran a bit bad. |

Sterling is an outlet because of his pace. You could put Anya there if Scotland hadn't snaffled him - got the same shooting and decision making skills. Kane didn't do much I agree and I also think it was a good performance overall. |

Wilshere looked great when he came on and we almost scored within minutes of the change, thanks to his passing and movement. He's ideal as an impact player. Lallana and Rooney looked like they were tired. Of the two, saving Rooney's legs makes more sense. Henderson and Wilshere are natural replacements as they get match fitter. Kane was fine. They marked him well but his movement - in fairness the movement of all the front 3 - was what created the space for the full backs and midfielders to run into. Sterling will be out when Sturridge is fit, I expect. |

Sterling's final ball is the problem. Gets into position and then zilch. Frustrating. Didn't like the defensive substitutions. Wanted vardy on at 1-0 to hit them on the counter. Russia were very ponderous and burgled a point.

Yep, Rooney coming off seemed like overthinking..don't think it changed anything but still seemed kinda pointless

Wouldn't have sterling anywhere near the team so wasteful. Been awful for more than 12 months.
Vardy in for sterling please for Wales and we should win by a couple. Have to probably win both games now to top the group.

Another one here in the 'Sterling played fine' camp. I'm the first to lambast his shooting though, generally. His shots have the power of a Travelodge hairdryer. Still, I can easily think of half a dozen worse EPL players who cost over £20m.
Did anyone spot the Kane Salmon dive? Or hear that loud explosion near the end?

this exactly sums up what I thought. Kane was terrible but people are on sterling when if he had of had vardy there with the legs to keep up they would have wiped the floor with russia. Kane taking corners is lol, and he has no clue what to do when hes not going to just shoot. hodgson reverted to type and we got punished |

His play reminds me more of Franz Carr for those that can remember. £50 Million or whatever it was? . Liverpool did so well! |

Why can hart not distribute the ball. Puts his defenders under needless pressure, kicks it out to much and does not seem to kick it to his men up the field.
Maybe I am blessed watching DDG every week who is immense at distribution but I think it's such a key area, espically when you have Kane upfield who is great with his head.
Aside from that Sterling was awful.
Full backs were great I thought, dier and Rooney worked well and I was very impressed with Lallana he never stopped running, lots of heart and involved in lots of good plays.
For sure we should have shoved vardy on for sterling. Earlier subs also, I remember reading that around the 60th minute was optimal for the first sub.
Vardy would have caused havoc at that time in the game.
Don't take Rooney off unless he is injured.
