Six changes, according to some reports on way home tonight. Clyne, Bertrand, Wilshere, Henderson, Vardy & Sturridge all start. No Rooney or Alli. Seems a bit cavalier by Woy - group not won yet!
Bloody hope not. I expected it to be one of the easiest selections we've ever had. Sturridge & Vardy for Sterling & Kane
I think it'd be good to give a few of the others a game. Let's be honest, Clyne and Bertrand are very good players and will want to prove their worth, Sturridge and Vardy should 100% start like Micky Finn said. Not sure about Henderson as I don't see his strength apart from running around for 90 minutes. Basically all the players will want to show Roy what they are capable of and we may need them if we go far in the tournament.
It doesn't need mass changes in my opinion. Maybe just the 2 we made at half time against Wales. I like Harry Kane but he doesn't seem to fit in the style England are currently playing. If we went to 442 he'd be one of the first names on the team sheet, but that isn't likely to happen considering we've nobody who I'd class as a decent winger. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Hmm, 3rd place and a very sticky last 16 game beckon. Just don't rate Wilshere at international level.
Agree with you about Wilshere. A couple of weeks ago, someone in my local came out with the stat that since Wilshere last played 90 minutes for Arsenal, Leeds had had 6 managers and Ronaldo had scored over a hundred goals. Not sure if it's correct mind.
We need to win the game to win the group. No need for mass changes. Hart Walker Smalling Cahill Rose Dier Lallana Alli Rooney Sturridge Vardy
I'd probably go with that. Though personally I'd play Stones instead of Smalling, and drop Lallana for Hammill.
Sort of agree but do wonder whether Id give Forster a game in goal - dont think it will happen though The BBC seem quite confident that the 6 changes mentioned above will be made Bit risky - if we win the group we get a 3rd placed team - if we lose for sure we will have a much worse opponent and may even fail to qualify
Massive risk if true. Rooney has been quality in midfield and Walker a driving force down the right. Winning breeds confidence. Start with your strongest team and if we are in a strong position and hopefully a couple of goals up then make changes but not for the sake of it. Too much to lose. We could have Albania in next round or Portugal or even Germany. Do the right thing Roy.
