xxxpost not too worried about guys getting tired, Vardy, Milner, Henderson, Studge, lots more legs on that bench if people start slowing down(and some half-decent players too!). this is weird guys, I know this Russia side are dogshit but when has that ever made a difference to England before? it shouldn't be this much fun to watch us at tournaments.
not sure i agree w/ Matt about Sterling, i don't like him and i don't think he offers much at all besides the initial burst of pace down the oustide and the little step back in. never seems to do anything incisive, doesn't know what to do with the ball when he actually has a choice to make

No problem with Walker and Rose flying forward, manager's job is to structure the team to cover that. Back four looks porous tho.
Sterling has been good in parts, his decision making is a bit suspect for me. Wouldn't change owt at this point.

"it's more a case of there must be somebody better for that position"
Drinkwater for a start, what did he do wrong this season?
― calzino, Saturday, 11 June 2016 19:57 (eight years ago) link
Nah, I agree with Matt. Sterling's backheel for Ali's cross was the best move of the game imo.

maintain my position on this, Sterling also bang out of form, whereas Jamie Vardy was so brimming over with confidence by the end of the season that you could see it sloshing about behind his beady little rodent eyes
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 11 June 2016 20:00 (eight years ago) link
be pointless playing Vardy in Sterling's position though
― Number None, Saturday, 11 June 2016 20:01 (eight years ago) link
Yeah i guess that's true, wouldn't want to change the shape at this point
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 11 June 2016 20:05 (eight years ago) link
Befuddled that Kane is assigned to take all corners and set pieces tbh

Walker and rose great fun going forward but never more than a cunthair away from calamity at the back. Haven't followed ilf too closely the last year or so but I daresay this will have been noted by te Spurs contingent

We're set up to cover for this ye have rooney

Dunno if England are tiring or taking a breather but there's less players attacking the box when they get forward now
― The Brexit Club (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 June 2016 20:21 (eight years ago) link
They're throwing it away imho. Chokehold of the first half is gone completely.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Saturday, 11 June 2016 20:22 (eight years ago) link
You may've missed the memo darragh, rooney's good now
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 11 June 2016 20:23 (eight years ago) link
Certainly don't have a defence you'd want to fall back on for any length of time
― The Brexit Club (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 June 2016 20:23 (eight years ago) link
Yeah Roy needs to do something here, we've got enough on the bench to make an impact
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 11 June 2016 20:24 (eight years ago) link
Russia is so utterly piss poor. And yet.
