Vardy was shit against Wales, too.
He isn't an international striker.
Really? Thought Sturridge had a decent first half at least.

Bet Arsene quickly ripping up that £20million cheque
It would be jokes if he went to a team like Arsenal and no space.

Although Clyne was excellent Walker is a more powerful footballer and he's in the form of his life. I fancy he'd have torn that left back a new one tonight. We'll never know now.

Big mistake leaving him out, god knows why
Well, it's a game of opinions, for sure.
But for a 92nd minute winner from Sturridge against Wales, England would now be on their way home again. No need to make that many changes, wins breed confidence, half a dozen changes was way too many. You won't see anybody making that many changes unless they've already won their group.
Because he's run himself into the ground, twice in a week, and they thought they could drop in a quality replacement and save his legs for the next game? Clyde was decent anyway - he wasn't the problem tonight.

I'm of the view that there was a new starter who was worse than both today.
Jack?

Nobody's mentioned Bertrand, but zero crosses, he committed three fouls before the inevitable yellow and looked pretty ordinary. Rose is a far better player.
Neither Wilshere nor Bertrand were great.

Go along with that. Bertrand missed his opportunity. Wilshere's distribution was very poor by his standards.

they were the only worse players really, and even then Bertand didnt seem to get the ball much or didnt get into the overlap thing. Wilshere was definatly a poorer, am im a big fan, was giving the ball away too much, and probably shouldnt have gone on lack of fitness.
to add, Henderson is no Alli replacment obviously, but played OK if faded.
end of day the changes didnt cause the draw, the better forwards started and we played well just couldnt work through the bus.

Not much wrong with Vardy in the first half to be fair. Barely touched it in the second, and should have gone off much earlier. I thought Henderson, Wilshire and Bertrand were all particularly pony.
The sad thing is that as a result, we are probably going to have to put up with more of Sterling's clueless wastefulness in our remaining two games.
As for Sturridge, I thought he looked threatening. I don't think he's the problem. Well not until next game when he shows everyone he's made of Weetabix once again.

Apart from wasting the one clear chance of the match. Smashing a one on one straight at the keeper, in the style of Craig Mackail Smith?
Yes, apart from that. Poor finish, but he didn't do anything different from what he's been doing all season. You know, when his goals have been a key reason he's won the league title.
He also worked his nuts off, created space for others and tracked back.
Second half he was gash
