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.
He's clearly got to be in the squad, but as a guaranteed starter, shoehorned in to the starting line-up and a formation deployed solely for his benefit? He aint that good. It's not as though we're short of in-form forwards either. -

? they looked completely fucked already,Kane was just going through the motions and hasnt a clue how to take a set piece,and Vardy looked like he was still on Holiday,,Alli was there just to make up the numbers and to get wound up,,is he really the same player we saw light up the prem last season and humiliate the krauts a month or so back :s the backs were solid and the highlight of the night,Walker was worth a 10 in any ones book,,he was superb :D i think we should be lucky we got Roon,he at least trys all the match and makes things happen,a deffo starter in my book,we only started playing a little bit better when the subs came on,at least they created a few chances and thats when we scored,,Sturridge is just a passenger in the squad fuck knows what he does in training to impress the boss it must be marvellous shame he dont bring it to what really counts :s And dont forget Portugal were without some of their best players and they still had the ball longer than us even when they went down to 10 men ;) Well the final score is all that matters in the end ,, but it is still worrying what we got infront of us,,its all done and dusted now so all we can say is
"GOOD LUCK ENGLAND"

Indeed it was a lacklustre performance. The strikers were too busy preening themselves than to be bothered scoring. It took a defender to show them how to score! Rooney showed that he still got it and surely starting eleven quality. When Vardy got subbed and the subs came on is when things picked up the pace.
The diamond formation didn't seem to gel. Defensively solid. Midfield average. It is upfront where there is room for improvement. -

Might have had something to do with them being forced out wide to accommodate Rooney in the central striker role...
Not saying there isn't argument for starting Rooney, but the most important thing is having players in positions that they're comfortable with. Start trying to shoehorn all the names in and it's like Gerrard, Lampard and the 'Golden Generation' all over again.
And we know how that turned out. -

lol you know whats funny though the price tags of all those players would have been £10m+ lol and wow Jose Baxter and Dean Parrett
Theo Walcott injuries has really affected him though he was the most likely to make that squad -

Typical.all that expectation and a typical let down,,we played in fits and starts, but fuck Sterling has no right to be on the pitch,he is crap totally crap,,kane what the fuck did he do,why does he take set pieces he hasnt a clue he should be on the end of them not fucking taking them,not for the 1st time the Tottenham fullbacks were absolute class and Rooney was giving his all as usual,,now as per usual we have to go all out for the win on thursday and against all teams the Welsh,they had a cracking result even when they looked like they were in trouble they still played with heart not flare like us,
so thats my rant but now its all down to the players to makes us believe again and smile hopefully WITHOUT Sterling :@ -

Should have beaten Russian easily, dominated the game but did not take the chances and score! Indeed the spurs fullbacks were class :P
However, disagree about Sterling he wasn't all that crap, he had the ability to zip through the defence but should know how to cross the ball, so pathetic really. Even then they would have to learn how to score. :@

Can't understand why when the commentator's kept going on about the Russian defence how old and slow they were, that our coaching team surely must see videos of the opposition and see that. Then if they had why not put Vardy or Sturridge on, as per usual complacency sets in 1-0 and we don't go for the jugular bit like Brighton early season! That's why Hodgson will never get us anywhere, need to get rid after the tournament and bring in a modern day coach with an all new backroom team even if it costs millions be better than paying the fat cats in the FA! -

No real surprises in the tournament so far,every game has gone as expected,,as usual the fans have got all the headlines,,just hope they concentrate on the next game and get behind us rather than getting back the russians for what they done to us on saturday night,or it wil be Goodbye to us even if we beat the welsh,,just hope that doesn,t happen for all our sakes :(
