Danny Mills just said on the BBC that we are now playing a plyer who won't be going. So what purpose does that serve? Do England managers just have a genetic tic that invites abuse?
Says the man who deliberately got himself sent off so he could have a break at Christmas. Can't see how he can be considered a credible analyst or criticise others after doing that.
Red? Sterling should get a medal for not reacting to that attack from Valencia. Poor kid just looked shocked
This. Full credit for holding it together. He did absolutely nothing wrong. It was a good tackle and he won the ball. Valencia is a disgrace.
Touching the ball doesn't mean winning it fairly. I think it was a risky tackle worthy of a booking but I doubt he'd have even got that had Valencia not reacted in that way.
Out of 90 minutes Wilshire must spend on aversge 15 on his Aris clutching one part of his body or another. The bloke must be a) made of glass or b) have the pain threshold of a 6 month old.
Absolutely pointless taking him to a tournament imo.
I know we have had a thread on pundits but by God Andy Townsend is really getting me wound up. He keeps on saying 'I really do' after any bloody opinion as if no-one will believe him otherwise. Mind you he is such a moron and talks such utter bollocks that I think he may be right. I really do Clive. Barkley and Ox looked class acts. Lampard watched the game pass him by.
Positives - Barkely. Ox, Lambert all 3 played really well.
Negatives - Milner - Woys love child but I think his shit Lampard - Hopefully Lallana,Barkely gets the nod in front of him Foster - looked really poor.
Also didn't understand why he brought on Flanagan and Stones on totally pointless in my opinion.

I agree mostly with this . I have to pull you up on one bit. I would be more inclined to say that out of 70mins(has he ever played 90?) he spends 60 on his arse.
About what I expected. Some bright enthusiastic young players going forward. Some very average defenders at this level. I'm looking at this World Cup to bring on the new generation of young players, for the next tournament. Barkley, Ox-Chamberlain, Lallana, Shaw, etc.
To be fair to Roy, he had to bring Stones and Flanagan on as they're back up in case Jones isn't fit or there's another injury. He'd get even more stick if Jones didn't make it and one of those two was called up without a cap. Personally I'd rather we took Stones than that waste of space Smalling
James Milner should not be anywhere near an England shirt.
I think I heard that this will be his THIRD world cup finals !!! I don't think he's a bad player but surely we have better wide men than him to take to the finals.
The tackle was horrendous. In modern football I don't know how people are questioning the red card. If Valencia hadn't got out the way he could currently be suffering his second broken leg.
Didn't really kick the ball though, he just clipped the top
always went to kick the ball, and kicked it. No sending off, great tackle.
An off-the-floor studs-up tackle is a red card offense in the modern game regardless of whether Sterling clips the top of the ball. Another tackle like that in the World Cup and he'll be on the plane home.

it was after the tackle though, he had already won it. Unless you have some kind of weird skeletal structure i think its impossible to keep your studs down after being at full stretch to clip a ball into touch.

If Barkley doesn't start against Italy I will throw something.
Sterling seems to have got sent off for winning a tackle and then getting punched. Bizarre refereeing.
