Dier has to start because of his defensive shield ability but he played 4 balls forward today that were woeful. Rooney's been good in the central mid position. Could Wilshere play instead of Lallana in the right channel? All the width down the right really came from Walker, not Lallana.

....and Paul Weller to close the show.....
Lallana did play well today though until he tired.
If we need width play Rashford wide.
I think Alli's been given enough chances and has been average.

If that's a diamond midfield, I'm in. Harsh on Lallana who I thought played well, but...
Alli was good I thought

Spot on - diamond formation with the full-backs pushing on and Dier covering. Indeed, Dier's brief should be to give it short to Rooney or Wilshere and not to try any of his through-balls, all of which have been poor thus far.
In an ideal world we'll go a couple of goals up and maybe the full-backs will get a rest. Kyle Walker has been our best player over the two matches but can he and Danny Rose keep up the energy levels for the whole tournament?

Just home and all i want to say is
pasty
A different kind of pasty
Bit odd playing Ukraine v Northern Ireland in a stadium that holds just under 60K, and England v Wales in a stadium that holds just over 40K 
Keep your powder dry for the knockouts.
Sturridge doesn't even know if we are through yet or not
Do they not explain the qualifying rules to the players ? Or are they just listening to their headphones all day
So you know we're not through then. Unlike Sturridge, he doesn't know.

Lallana did enough again for me to start. My only changes would be to start Vardy and Sturridge for Kane and Sterling.
Or bring Wilshire in and move Rooney to replace Sterling.
But with Rooney being outstanding the 2 games so far I would be hesitant to move him

I'll just shut up in the run up to these games I think. Jesus.
Hart stood so far over to the left he gave Gareth Bale 70% of the goal to aim at. Bale's effort was still a yard inside the right-hand post but Hart was so at sea he was still at full-stretch.
Since he's been doing the dandruff commercials he's gone right off!
Today's effort has joined the pantheon of tournament keeper cock-ups - up there with Bonetti vs Germany '70, Seaman vs Brazil '02, Rob Green vs. USA '10.
Time For Butland when he is fit
Will!
