Surely we have a better defender in England than Stones. His lack of confidence seems to have an effect on the whole backline.
My mind digressed looking at the poppies on the arms. Read last week that Scotland and England have different poppies on sale. England have only 2 petals and Scotland have four....who knew. Good goal from Sturridge, but Scotland defending in numbers. Still all to play for as long as only one goal in it.
But he doesn't close down their defence, or make himself an easy target. Rarely challenges in the air, even just to make a nuisance. Rooney needs to come off. He isn't a midfielder, and shouldn't be shoe horned into the position.
If Stones is worth £45 million, we must hold out for £100 million for VVD. He's easily twice as good as Stones.
He definitely isn't worth £45 million. Just for some reason Man City were stupid enough to pay that much.
Harsh - but 2 chances 2 goals versus Scotland's multiple chances and no goals. Sound familiar as a Saints supporter?
But from what I read United have offered £30 million for him. That's got to be a joke. Slap a £100 million price tag on him (to be paid immediately not in instalments) and that'll tell them to **** off
Yes, but most of the Scottish chances have been way off target...not like Hart is pulling off save after save.
We like Gordon Strachan I know, but I would probably have considered him quite old school, 15 years ago!! Making Hodgson, Allardyce and Southgate look like Guardiola.
