  1. We came out for the second half with a striker and two number ten's making up a three man midfield and two strikers attempting to play as wingers. It's no wonder we looked completely clueless.
  2. Hodgson to do a Keegan and Rooney to do a Messi during the interviews, please. I'm sure it'll all be fine really. Our team of Danny Mills, Rio Ferdinand, Greg Dyke and Mildred the tea lady will figure it all out.
  3. I'm stunned it's taken him 85 minutes to finally drag Rooney off. With any luck he'll do a Messi after this.
  4. At what point are we going to admit Rooney's not a midfielder? This is awful. Nobody is coming out of this with any credit, even if we go on to somehow scrape a win. 70 minutes of turgid, turgid football against Iceland. Iceland ffs.
  5. £11m for Wanyama seems really low, had he run down his contract or something?
  6. With all the changes I'm surprised Dier hasn't been rested. He looked knackered against Wales and against anyone half decent he's probably going to be our most important player.
  7. If he doesn't give away a silly free kick there's no issue. It's a fantastic example of why he shouldn't be playing in midfield. It'll change in the second half. He'll bring Wilshere on, put Rooney up top and Kane out on flank
  8. Free kick given away by the 'excellent' Rooney
  9. Slovakia showing how poor Russia really are. The media and an awful lot of our fans have completely deluded themselves over the England performance in the opening game, especially Rooney's role in it. It was an average performance against an ageing Russian side (who still finished the game looking stronger) missing a number of key players through injury, who gave Rooney all the space you could want as a midfielder and yet he still put in a performance that was only slightly above average. We'll struggle against Wales and Slovakia. Wales will absolutely dominate the midfield if we start with Rooney there again. If we don't beat Wales - and I think it'll be a very, very tough game - then all the pressure is on us to go out and attack Slovakia, and they showed in the first half they've got the ability to pick us off at will. The thought of Hamsik running at Cahill and Smalling for 90 minutes is terrifying.
  10. Basically. It's a fairly narrow three up top but Kane's the one drifting out wide to the right. Alli's spent most of his time on the left wing so far. I don't know why we bother.
  11. Kane's playing out wide on the right. Rooney's up top.
  12. Gazza was poor in that first half, Terry needs to bring him off asap. Can't see him doing anything when he's playing like this.
  13. Hart Clyne Smalling Cahill Rose Milner Henderson Wilshere Rooney Kane Vardy
  14. Apparently Sakho is set to be cleared of doping, the fat burner he took wasn't on the banned list.
  15. Rashford's going to be brilliant for the Man Utd under 21's next season.
  16. Smalling and Stones together at the Euros
  17. In shocking news, Clattenburg is having a fucking awful game.
  18. That's an Arsenal nine months as well, so he'll struggle to make the 2018 World Cup.
