Danny Sturridge. Fantastic finisher and absolutly lethal in the box. But why is he so obsessed with dropping so deep? Even 3 minutes into a game so can't use the excuse that he wasn't getting service.

Henderson rated as England's best player in L'Equipe today 7/10. The Slovak goalie got their MOM with 8/10. They are pretty mean with their marking to be fair but seemed a bit odd with Henderson.

Although Walker has been fantastic you can't really say that wasn't the reason we didn't win - I thought Clyne was our best player by far.  Rooney and Alli needed to play yes, but we still should've been able to do the job with that team.

The stronger teams won't park the bus so maybe we'll have more openings.

Think we played well over the three games, lots of positivity and creating chances, finishing was lacking but it's a far cry from the performances from 2014 and other recent tournaments.

Watching how Germany play against a deep defence. Use width and quick interchanges, one touch passing. By comparison we were narrow and slow. Slovakia and northern Ireland one spot apart in the fifa rankings

Henderson's stats rating was pretty good - 3rd highest after Clyne and Dier for the starting 11.

Skrtel was the overall stats MOTM and their keeper was 2nd.

Not sure how my thought process bears out but to my mind Euro 96 apart in tournaments spanning since 1988 I get the impression taht at major champs that England always seem to struggle for goals when they get to the big tournaments. 

Despite the action generated in the PL  it always seems to me that they are concerned first of all by not losing the game and dont really have a go, and it feels like a waste with some of the players who have played for England during that time. 

Even now, the play seems so one dimensional and slow.

As David said yesterday, all of the best creative players in the PL are not English. Our strikers in this tournament are not bring supplied by the quality of player they are at club level eg Silva, De bruyne, ozil, fabregas, mahrez,eriksen etcetc

De Gea is such a jobbing keeper.

Given the Croatia keeper position for the pen save off his line can someone explain the purpose of the referee tools on the goal line?  We have goal line tech so surely on a penalty that is his sole job of the 5th official or whatever he is called?

Those extra referees on the line have been fkn useless ever since they were brought in. Every week in euro comps they miss something blatantly obvious.

I've thrown a couple of darts at Wales to win the whole thing e/w - there's a touch of attacking incisivenss there that can stand them in good stead now they're in the weaker half of the draw.

I have done a little 40-1 ew Wales bet365 too. Don't think the price will last. Northern Ireland then Belgium then Croatia maybe?
