Another mixed performance from England, great for Rashford to score on debut, he has a definite chance to go to France due to that performance along Sturridge's injury problems as well, I suspect, as his attitude in training.
The defence is a massive worry, if we continue to put in such sloppy defensive performances then we will have to score a truckload of girls to win the Euros -

i think we get creativity with Rashford aswell as his pace and finishing ability, which you saw him display for ManUtd fantastic link up play with his striking partner, aswell as midfield,
he could provide something special coming off the bench, -

Definitely agree Sir, he is a great talent and my eyes, he would be in the squad on merit. There is still an outside chance that Sturridge will go in his place but hopefully not as the chance of Sturridge making an impact from the bench is less than the chance of Rashford making an impact -

I Think young Rashy should go,,the last game I'm afraid was like being transported back 10 or 20 years ago we havnt gone forward at all,,Australia was all over us,,they played the football and we just soaked up the pressure and hoped we could catch them on the break,,we won the match ,,so if we can do that in France I suppose no one will be moaning :-/ -

I agree Gooner, it was incredibly poor in a lot of respects, the midfield needs to improve, don't think Henderson and Wilshere together is a good combination. Alli, despite the questions about his composure, has the star quality to light up the tournament. Defensively, I think we have to accept it will be our Achilles heel but no reason they can't improve, Hart needs to stop trying to Neur and remember his job is to stop shots and trust his back line to defend the line -

Saved your Wilshere disclaimer til the last line! I was so ready to pile in on that...
Was surprised to see that Sturridge has only actually scored 5 goals for England, you'd have thought he'd be at least up to double figures by now, wouldn't you? But, i'd say he's probably our most naturally talented forward, capable of creating something out of nothing (like against Sevilla in the Europa final) so if he's fit, he's got to go.
Rashford's the more risky choice. Might have been better off taking Townsend because other than Sterling, there's not really much in the way of width. -

Interesting that Sturridge made the squad. The gaffer pretty much said after the Australia game that he wasn't going to make any decisions about his place till after the last training session. And wasn't questioning leaving him out the squad. So presumably he must have been running around like the energizer bunny.

TBH I would have left Rooney at home and possibly taken Townsend, controversial I know but when does Rooney prove he is world class in a major tournament well so far he hasn't and even though he is our record scorer most of his goals come against lesser opposition, I would start the Russia game with Kane and Vardy up front and as Hodgson won't drop him Rooney just behind the front two. Think we will progress in the tournament without the granny shagger but if we rely on him then not even sure we will get out the group stage. Whatever happens Rooney and Hodgson have to go after the tournament has finished. -

I honestly don't get the "Dont take Rooney" argument. If we only took players that had proved themselves world class in a major tournament there would be an empty plane flying out to France. Rooney is the top scorer, captain and still has something to offer. He puts in consistently good (never amazing I admit) performances for England.
I think the biggest surprises for me were Henderson and Sturridge. Both are crocked to some degree or another and there are better alternatives.
I get Sturridge to a degree......as if he manages to get fit he is a dangerous option to have. But Henderson?? They guy isn't all that at the best of times and currently isn't even fit. Wilshire isnt fit either really but again, if he gains fitness he is a great player.
Drinkwater would have been a better option. Might not have been first choice but adds another defensive midfield option in case Dier gets a knock or has to move back to CB because of other injuries.
