Wish we had a back four mind. Central defence a real weakness

It would be great if we could defend as a team, because if we could play vardy and kane up tops it wouldnt matter if they could play together, they are capable of scoring and creating stuff from nowhere. Been totally dominant in the second half but everytime the germans go forward they look like they will score.

Team is so much better when everyone doesn't have to be fitted around Rooney.

Think theres only two people in the world disagree. Thing with rooney is he doesnt even play to suit himself. If on the pitch he would be dropping deep getting pointless touches

[JohnCharver]

Absolute magic from england second half. Start the team thats ended this one imo

[DungBeetle]

Yep.  Great performance.

[Woodsey]

Good stuff, don't often watch footy but enjoyed that.

[Tommo]

Really enjoyed that which doesn't happen too often when watching England

Cahill a liability .

Fancy backing over 2.5 goals in most English matches if we play with that positive attitude.

[anthonyl]

Start with same team except move dier to centre back, Henderson and drink water in the middle.

[celtic]

Even I enjoyed that!

the guardian this morning

the team they want to see, which is not going to happen as hes not playing 2 up top

but anyway

[DungBeetle]

Seems even in the dream team the centre back pairing still looks very flimsy!   Any other generation of players and Cahill gets no where near the team imo.

What I hope Roy does is adapt his team, both in formation and personal, based on who we're playing. The best 11 to start versus Russia is almost certainly different to the best 11 to start versus Wales. Plans to nullify Bale etc where perhaps Stones and Dier sitting in front of a back four might be necessary. Vardy is almost certainly a better option against teams where we'll have less of the ball and play on the counter etc. Welbeck's far better defensively than Sterling and so on.

Anyway we've got two different formations we've played enough over the last two years that we've got more options, at least in the front four/three, than at any point since 2002/2004, in my opinion.

Not getting ahead of ourselves, after one decent friendly performance, but looking at the draw it seems crucial that we win the group if we want to entertain any ambitions of going beyond the last eight. Finishing second in the group means we get popped in the same quarter as France and Germany. Finish third and go through and we're looking at Germany or Spain as probable last 16 opponents. Win the group and you get a third placed team and win that and likely opponent's are one of Portugal/Italy/Belgium/Austria. None of which are easy, of course, but none of the calibre of Germany/France.
