England

Agreed, he has played like he always does - very well. England as a whole have been pretty dire so far.

 

Lallana playing ****.

 

What a crock of **** from England's forwards again.

 

HT. No fireworks at all.

After the first 5-10 minutes, Nat started playing like he does for Saints, which meant he was the most impressive player on the pitch. The rest of the defence have been largely untested, although Slovenia have gone as close as anything England have done. As usual, England can keep the ball but they can't do anything with it.

My prediction - Hodgson will take Nat off. He's doing too well and showing the rest up.

 

Yawn.

 

And who has been the best player for England so far..?

 

You can see that all the England players are better than their opponents, but no point if you can't score. Good as individuals, but we need to play better as a team. Slovenia only need to take one chance.

 

2 changes for me: Chamberlain for Lallana, Berahino for Sterling. Possibly Barkley for Henderson later.

 

Curates egg really. Clyne, Sterling, Wilshire, Rooney and Henderson have all looked good in parts, as has Gibbs. It's just not clicking as a team, but there's hope that it will.

 

Wrong answer...there can be only one answer for a Saints fan

 

England are handicapped by Hodgson's tactics. Playing a narrow formation is not very clever against a team happy to draw.

Must admit I've only seen glimpses. It looks like Welbeck has been shoved to the left and Sterling on the right now.

 

that elbow was glorious

 

Indeed, he hasn't got the message.

In truth, Nat hasn't put a foot wrong and the rest have been indifferent and slowish. Stirling has the been the best of the rest.

 

Notice I didn't mention Lallana. So clearly I'm a bit blinkered myself.

Not as bad as some of you lot though.

 

I believe Nat made one mistake, but I was brushing my hair out of my eye at the time, so it doesn't count

 

Should have been a little harder tho.

 

Much better from Sterling.

 

Just realised I've started spelling Stirling/Sterling incorrectly as the City rather than the monetary unit.

Sterling
Sterling
Sterling

There. That's corrected it.

 

He's been playing rather well,don't you think?

 

I've already written he was the best of the rest, imo.
