    That's the first decent thing I have ever heard Andy Townsend say.
    Sterling should be at number 10.

    I think England would benefit from a modern manager. Sterling needs to be the center point of this team, he's so much more effective playing the number 10 role.

    And Sturridge is a useless greedy twat. You look at most nations and think they have better strikers than Sturridge. I wouldn't mind him being a greedy sod if he could score. Would love to see his conversion rate since his goal against Italy. Must be about 5%!

    Think he looks pretty steady. Perhaps worth a punt for a Premier League team in January? :emoticon-0116-evilg

    They really aren't as bad as people make them out to be. As someone who goes to a fair amount of England matches myself, I can safely say that the average supporter at an England match is what you'd call a 'Modern football fan'. Yes the band could tone it down a bit, but at least they try to create an atmosphere. Away from home they are much better when Fans are there to create an atmosphere.

    Why does Rooney have no sense of positioning? Never seen a less disciplined pro.

    Hart doing well, but you can just see Norway scoring soon. They were so poor in the first half, we might have expected England to come out strongly, but Norway are giving it a go.

    FFS Roy, you've named Rooney captain, and you're not even playing him? What's going on?

    This is a very crappy England team. Stones is a waste of space. We need attacking fullbacks. Like Clyne...

    Don't be so judgmental. I am happy to see players like Stones in the squad, however if we are playing a formation that requires attacking fullbacks Clyne does seem to be a better choice but perhaps we need something more defensive against Switzerland.

    Can Lambert only play a max of 10 minutes for England?! Welbeck looking good.

    Don't understand this dislike of Rooney (apart from his personal life)...it's not his fault that England are short of good players. I have never doubted he cares about England. Good penalty.

    Ok. Stones is a waste of time playing at right back when he has no guile or attacking threat...

    I bet Sturridge unwrapped the whole thing when playing pass the parcel as a kid. He just doesn't pass.
