I do think fat Wayne should start, but he should be playing in the deep-lying midfield role like he did in the FA Cup semi final against Everton, thought he played brilliantly there. Aggressive box-to-box play.

I agree in that he disrupted the front 3, but to be honest Vardy was pretty much invisible in the system we played last night. Welbeck will be greatly missed.

If Roy is going to pick a front three then he should have chosen 2 wide attackers who can play that system instead of picking 5 central strikers....

Jees the man is paid an enormous amount of money to know this!!

Personally for me Rooney plays, alongside Kane with Vardy as the impact player off the bench

After the game Roy said that Rooney was told to play as a 10 behind the front 2, Now maybe Wayne is hard of hearing or he's just far too important to listen to the manager, or lets be kind - over enthusiastic,  but he wasn't playing behind them was he?

We had years of trying to accommodate Gerrard and Lampard - it never really worked and it seems we are doing a similar thing with Rooney. Why do managers never bloody learn? We are diluting our own strengths.

It's perfectly simple to me, Kane and Vardy are both full of goals, you play them and you play the very talented and dangerous other goal threat Dele Alli behind them. From an attacking view point that trio is as strong as any team has in the tournament. Why the hell would you not go with that?

If Rooney doesn't fit into the side "naturally" then don't play him.

Jamie Vardy will be playing left wing next.  :-[

You need Rooney on the pitch. He has vast experience in International tournaments and we have a lot of players playing their first tournament. I would play him as a box to box midfielder.

Vast experience of massive failures every single time. So are you saying we should drop one of two strikers that have 49 goals split between them this season? Or that Delle Alli should be wasted being played out of position or dropped? Or Rooney should be on the wing or defence midfield?

It's quite simple for me, Rooney's time is up and there are better options for this starting 11.

Yes i think your post hits the nail on the head! Rooney has never set any tournament alight and i would question the hunger of a man who earns a reputed £300,000 a week.

Can't win nowt with kids ;)

I'm not understanding the unrest because the forwards tracked back?, if they didn't folk would moan.
I'm not sure on the Rooney argument, he does have quality and experience, he also has a short fuse and a lack of pace...I suppose a better starter because coming on he would have no impact
I'm disappointed we didn't take Townsend , very direct and on confidence, but still think we actually have a chance, avoid Belgium and France and maybe..

Speaking of short fuse, I think alli needs to make sure he doesn't get wound up by the opposition. I think he'll be targeted by opposition looking to get him sent off

Just had 20 quid on England to win the tournament. If Leicester can win the bloody Premier League then England can win Euro 2016. Have a bit of faith.  8)

After watching the Euro96 thing on BBC and ITV it just makes me think people like Vardy should be playing. People that actually give a F (the Pulis work 'ard lot, but still have some actual talent).

I think they were the last bunch of footballers that cared genuinely, before money ruined it. Leaders all over the pitch.
