the biggest failure in our history of world cup finals in 2014, hes lucky to still be england manager any other nation would have sacked on such a dismal showing

It wasn't dismal. England played well against Italy and were unlucky to lose whilst Suarez was the difference in an even game against the Copa America champions at the time.

You have to admit we have goals in the team for what seems like an age, the pressure is off Rooney to deliver all the goals. If we go far could potentially see an Englishmen as golden boot for tourney.

Amazing if we won this tournament on the 50th anniversary of winning the World Cup

Don't think we will win but if we play well enough we will do well I feel and then anything can happen

Not tonight, money saved over these 3 warm up games for me will be spent in several bars in France starting next Saturday

Alli playing deep to accommodate Rooney. $:-\$

Worker, classic Hodgson type, shoe-in for this team at the Euro's.

The whole thing has been very poor, hope he's got a plan B for next Saturday.

Think the Portuguese defender's tackle was the highlight of that

SmethDan · « **Reply #1372 on:** June 02, 2016, 11:35:09 PM »

Don't mean to be harsh given it was a warm up game but.......

Fitted players to a system rather than using a system more befitting of the players talents.

Unbalanced, exposed and largely ineffective.

Not just the system though, some very basic and poor decision making on the pitch.

Just hope Roy and the players were trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the opposition before the real fun begins.

COME ON ENGLAND, COME ON ENGLAND.

Playing Rooney just un-balances the middle and front of the team, whatever you think of Rooney (personally I think he is Vastly over-rated) he should not play in the England side.
Have him on the bench in case we need something to change a game, but please Roy don't start him.

Leicester have clearly demonstrated you don't need big names to win football matches.

I have no issue with the eleven picked last night, that is the team I would pick against Russia. However the way Roy set us up was so wrong! Rooney up front with Kane and Vardy, with all their goals, stuck out wide and at times having to track back into their own half to defend.

The midfield was far too narrow, Milner and Alli needed to be a little wider, with Rooney at the tip of the diamond rather than up front and Kane and Vardy as a genuine front two.
