The responses to this are predictable and good.

Was it, thinking of LFC/spurs attack contingent, coincidence that welbeck slowed moves down a lot by wanting an extra touch all night?
I like welbeck but

Hodgson has already said that Rooney isn't an automatic starter. The chances are he will be.

Clyne played pretty well there so I wouldn't say Rooney was nailed on even in his natural position.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 27 March 2016 12:02 (eight years ago) link
Worth discussing

Kyle Walker possibly ahead of him too.

though to many he's shite, glen johnson can move at a running pace so that puts him at an advantage to rooney

What happened to Leighton Baines by the way? Is it just persistent injuries or has he dropped out of the reckoning altogether?

Extra CB might actually be worth taking.

This looks almost exactly like a potent attacking side pulled completely out of shape to allow Rooney to play in a position he isn't even any good in.
Kane taking free kicks is complete bullshit.

Been watching man u all season and this is still one of the most boring games I've seen all year

Something common to spurs and england is almost total lack of ambition off the ball from the midfield. Really conservative in what theyll offer the man on the ball ito options.
― Daithi Bowsie (darraghmac), Thursday, 2 June 2016 20:22 (eight years ago) link
Smalling has looked a total mess at every instance

Nice finish though.

aye, you can have that one.
still not totally convinced by smalling's worth as a player, but he has turned a little corner in my affections this season on account of his surprisingly squeaky voice and his oddly guileless twitter game: https://twitter.com/ChrisSmalling/status/722346925610168320

Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy were split far too wide with the captain thrust up between them like an eager wet dog plonking itself in an unwelcome lap
https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/jun/02/england-roy-hodgson-wayne-rooney-out-of-shape
This is surely, surely obvious to everyone apart from Rooney himself now. If he must start it has to be in place of Vardy.

The point about pulling Kane and Alli further apart is a good one. How many goals did that partnership lead to this season?
Obviously Alli is getting sent off in our disastrous final game, that much is a foregone conclusion.
― Matt DC, Friday, 3 June 2016 08:49 (eight years ago) link
Would be interesting to see kane in a two tbh

More interesting to see him in an xi tbh

“I don’t remember Roberto MartĂnez holding a major conference when he left Everton,” he complained.
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 29 June 2016 07:57 (seven years ago) link
can't believe he actually said this in 2013.
Hodgson said: “I defy anybody to come up with 240 names. I don’t think, quitefrankly, you would be able to come up with 30 or 40.

danny murphy - there should be something in place so ex-players can skip coaching badges, it's too much trouble with too many hurdles in the way. I could have passed my 'b' license at 14, i knew it all at 12".

the same danny murphy who said england did really well in the group stages and that england would have no problem vs iceland or portugal.

5live's tuesday night england post mortem which lasts about 2 1/2 hours but murphy is just on for the first hour. scary stuff. lots of stuff about the fa not knowing football, how they should invite him and waddle in to 'teach' them etc etc
