Well well....hoodoo finally broken....can SPURS win the world cup for England?
That was a difficult game against a bunch of cheating hooligans.
I absolutely love this England Team.
Sterling is the problem. I would put Alli in that position, he has better passing and intelligence. Rose comes on and gets behind their defence. All game he could have been cutting back for Kane, Alli can put Kane through on the edge of the box, Sterling won't . Why continue playing him, he has done nothing.
Against Sweden we need clever passing. They are big, physical and disciplined.
If you insist on
Against Sweden, we're going to have to really pick it up.
Agree on dropping Dele, unless his fitness improves massively by Saturday. Also agree Sterling is getting in Kane's way, but even when Vardy came on Kane was dropping very deep. I don't know if it was by instruction or if he just felt he wasn't ever going to get the service but people around me were screaming for him to get further up the field.
I think Young showed his experience and intelligence and it was needed in that game. He pulled our players out of a few scuffles before they could fall for the Colombian's riling them up. Rose would be more likely to get in a scuffle, and I'm not just saying that because he's depressed, he's always had a bit of a fiery temper.
Against Sweden, particularly with Young picking up a knock, I'd start Rose all day. They're less likely to be employing the dark arts and we need more pace out wide.
Walker at RCB is Southgate's way of trying to stop us getting caught for pace defensively. Trips has also been our best creative outlet so dropping him doesn't make sense for me.
Gareth basically said we're the walking wounded now. Be interesting to see who starts.
