    Gonna be a tense one this. I've a horrible feeling that Hodgson is not a lucky manager. We'll see

    Am I the only one who thinks Wilshere is overrated?

    Nope! I don't get the hype over him at all, very average player who has achieved nothing major so far.

  • Jack is a fine player just still young

    Any half decent english right back that works hard can take walkers place I thought he was shit in the NLD but this is worse from him too many baloons

    A career destined for the treatment table I'm afraid.
  • what year did we play in yellow, was it mid 90's?
  • I'm not saying Wilshere is shit or anything - just that he seems to have been anointed as the saviour of English football, but every time I've seen him, he's looked distinctly average.

    What was that pass from Walcott to Lampard? Blasted it at him.

    Usual poor passing.

    Looks set for a stalemate ATM...

    I'd say relatively comfortable, playing within ourselves and feel we should be doing more.

    Suspect the liklihood is they are more likely to raise a gear in the second half rather than the other way round. Our attacking play has been a bit laboured, and our quality in the final third poor. Cahill looked solid at back.

    Think we're looking quite good. Just needs a couple of changes but we seem to be in control except in the final third.

    I thought we did ok reasonably comfortable but final ball letting us down. I fancy us at the moment our two CBs solid just need to watch them on the break, We will get chances just need to take one. COE
  • Cahill for me has held us together had a very good half and seems to be getting better each time I see him

    Just wary of Ukraine giving Walker the run around at the moment.

    That tie's a shocker. Would hate to see the rest of your wardrobe. ;-)

    England are playing very professionally, but Ukraine seem to have spotted a weakness with deep crosses into the penalty box from wide right and that has caused us a few troubling moments, but Cahill at least has been awake.

    Kyle Walker looks to be drifting out of position a bit and on the left Cole is playing well but has gone walk about once or twice.

  • Agree wholeheartedly with that. Cahill is a very good player. I like Jagielka too, but his lack of pace worries me.
  • Even simon francis would give walker the run about

    International footballer my arse
  • I'm not too sure about the communication between Hart, Jagielka and Cahill.

    0 - Ukraine failed to manage a shot on target against England during the first half. Flattered.

    OptaJoe ‏@OptaJoe 7m
    47% - England have had just 47% possession so far v Ukraine. They've not had less than 55% in any other game in this campaign. Pegged.

    OptaJoe ‏@OptaJoe 1m
    77.7% - England completed 77.7% of their passes in the first half; their lowest accuracy of the qualifying campaign. Wayward.

    Wilshire is a decent young player but poor in first half. Disapointed with Walker- he seems to be going backwards to me from the player so full of potential a year or so back.This game could go either way.
  • Carl Jenkinson for Walker then, or is he now committed to Finland?
  • Ffs walker


    Get him off

    Nope he qualifies for England, in fact I think he's represented them at some level since leaving us.
  • Carl Jenkinson for Walker then, or is he now committed to Finland?

    He's played for England and has committed to England.
