    Well that was boring , it was like a rewind back to euros, won't be watching the 2nd half, it would be wasting a Sunday evening.

    100%. Rose is behind shaw and Bertrand for me.

    Our midfield is just so pedestrian. No one in our side is capable of creating anything. Rooney is dropping back to play at DM for some reason, meaning Kane is on his own.
    I'd probably bring Vardy on for Rooney and go 4-4-2 personally. Slovakia aren't in this game at all.

    Well, thank God we have Rose and Kane. This is why I love Tottenham so much.

    Overall, we all wanted Allardyce to come in and change things, and I suspect he may have changed the England teabags?

    I agree about an extra man up top but would probably take Henderson off rather than Rooney.

    I simply don't see what Henderson offers to this team.

    Or change from the 4-3-3 which isn't working.

    I think Lallana looks creative on the ball. But that's it.

    Id take Kane off for Vardy. Sterling has been a lot better than at the Euros, and he's still been dogshit.

    Rooney is incapable of playing between the midfield and striker, he doesn't have the nous to try and find space. Totally opposite to an Ozil or David Silva who do it excellently.

    He wants to dictate play and pick the ball up as much as possible. We have Hendo (****) and Dier to do that

    There's a big donkey here in Esporles that has been spending its summer eating the vegetation in the ravine. Now this wonderful beast of burden thinks he is good enough for England as he is reknowned for liking hoofball.

    To be fair I think he can in a 4-2-3-1, jus not in a 4-3-3.

    I think I should start the next thread for England's next competitive game.

    We should really be winning this now... Alli coming on, hopefully for Henderson.

    We can't cross, pass, shoot, beat a man... Exactly like at the tournament.

    Now Rooney has been shoehorned into midfield again. Cool.

    Slovakia are a way better team then all the media try and make out. I knew this was going to be a close one.

    Disagree with that. They are solid but poor. If we play even close to our potential, we win this.

    Look a different team with the extra attacker on the pitch.

    We aren't a very good team. People need to accept that as well. It's why I want Fat Sam to change it up and start blooding younger players.

    Alli has made a big difference.
