Fantastic performance. It's a shame Roy will dismantle this team when it really matters.

Best England performance under Roy

Best I've seen us play in at least 10 years fella.

That was a very very good performance.

Vardy's goal

Lovely stuff, dare to dream?

Enjoyed the game. However, Germany never show their hand.

Have we finally found a team? ali and dier have to start. Vardys goal was fantastic. I'm an ever optimist with England regardless... go on roy..

This is the best group of players we've had for ages. We now have players that are TECHNICALLY very good at long last. I only hope Roy doesn't fall into the old English trap of picking PACE when it matters. Have we finally learned? The likes of Walcott, Oxlade Chamberlain, Sterling - leave them at home, when it comes to internationally tournament football they are not sound enough technically.

Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in the world. Vardy, Alli are so dangerous. Lallana I like at international level, that type of football suits him.

The weakest part of the team is the central defence.

Finally - Rooney - personally I wouldn't take him to the Euro's. If we do the media circus around him will disrupt our camp, we need positivity and we need to focus correctly on what matters.

What a load of dog pooh that squad is.

Prepared to retract on that statement mate?

Seriously good performance that was.

I don't like Cahill at all too easily beaten in the air, both in the league and internationally.
Craig Dawson anyone?

Vardys goal was quality and the way Kane took two defenders out with his turn was brilliant makes Saido look a long way from this level

tuamigos · « **Reply #1209 on:** March 27, 2016, 11:37:05 AM »

Id start with Vardy and Kane leave the fat boy on the bench

If/when he joins Spurs (or other team who can provide more assistance) I'd expect him to be back up to that level quite quickly, after all, he came through the England setup with most of the younger players on view last night.

But we never do it when it matters. Roy will bottle it come first game and will go back to Wilshere, Rooney, Sturridge and Milner.

Did not see the game but sounded like a good performance. The likes of Rooney, Milner et al should be told thanks for your service but its time to move on.

Rooney is on around Â£300,000 a week so is unlikely to be too bothered wether England do well or not. We need young hungry players not the comfort zone boys.

Milner hasn't started important non-friendly games since Euro 2012....

tommcneill · « **Reply #1214 on:** March 27, 2016, 02:33:48 PM »

Was great yesterday.

I would still take Rooney no issue.

However I wouldnt take Sterling at all, he doesnt actually do anything, doesnt create much, doesnt score many if at all. Id have The Ox over him all day long.

Sterling is the MOST OVERRATED player I think I've ever seen....

Neither are any good. Same as Walcott, all pace nothing else.

This shows the absolute class of Vardys goal. https://www.instagram.com/p/BDdGv3fRKUM/

Not sure how or why anyone is complaining about this, how is it anyone bad that the most experienced player in the squad takes the captaincy in those rare occasions neither the captain or vice-captain are available? Only in England would this be even worthy of mentioning.

England have had these sort of results before, but never produce when it really matters. This team could be different, time will tell

Nothing wrong with bringing class players in as long as they're fully fit

Why is James 'Granite-head' Milner captaining England tonight?

Because he's the most capped player in the 1st team? It's only a friendly.

B_H_Baggie · « **Reply #1223 on:** March 29, 2016, 11:42:21 AM »

I assume he's just the most experienced player in there that will be involved, I don't see a problem with him being named captain personally.
