The England thread

England trying to press as a unit is depressing as fuck. It's just everyone sitting deep while Lallana, Hendo and Kane apply the pressure. It doesn't work without a proper system, Roy. You can't just go "right Klopp and Poch lads, you do you and let me worry about everyone else."

What are you smoking?

 

you should give it up

Brilliant that was, a memorable night for England. Those goals from Kane and Vardy! Very happy for Dier too. Shame about Butland, he should not have tried to carry on and that first goal is sadly entirely his fault. Hope he isn't out for long.

I hope Roy at least thinks about the possibility of not playing Rooney now. We don't need him, clearly.

I'm not sure even a Mark Noble appearance could've made that comeback any better for me. Splendid stuff.

Playing Vardy anywhere but on the shoulder of the opposition defence is a waste of what he can do.

But I'd say the same for Kane, that's why some form of inter-changing the two, or adapting to two at the top makes sense to me. Either way, Kane's goal was incredible, Vardy's was even better, and it's super sweet to have Dier score the winner.

Alli was exceptional last night. Refreshing to see an England player able to keep hold of the ball and make things happen in tight areas.

I think Welbeck really suits that formation, not so sure about Lallana. Henderson has great energy but is just not good enough in possession. Whilst Vardy's goal was brilliant, I don't think I would start him at the Euros (unless Woy goes for two up top). He'll be an excellent impact player for us either way.

Honestly one of the best England performances I can remember though. Would love to see Stones in for Cahill, we need someone who can play from the back. Someone in for Henderson (Barkley? Can Alli play deeper?) - I'd say Mark Noble but no chance he is getting picked ever.

I don't see any place for Rooney, Sterling or Wilshere in the starting eleven. If Roy *has* to play Rooney, you could maybe play him on the right, where he had a decent game in the France friendly.

I'd love Luke Shaw to get fit though, he'd be so good in this team.
