Round of Applause for Welbeck!

Welbeck

Welbeck was good but he wasnt that good he done ok.

I think Welbeck will be a world class striker but cant see how he has got good reviews from this game gave the ball away alot and didn't have a shot on target. I think if Carroll had played the same game everyone would be saying he had a poor game.

You make a good point about the Rooney/Welbeck partnership. They have had a whole season to forge an effective double act. However, so have Young and Welbeck.

If they perform well together against Sweden then I don't see why Rooney should walk straight back into the team.

"I don't see why Rooney should walk straight back into the team"

Because he's Englands best player.

Its quite simple.

correct

100% true

nonsense because....

>>Because he's (Rooney) Englands best player. Its quite simple.

exactamundo and spot on

The best players don't always make the best team though. I would even argue whether he actually is England's best player performance wise rather than based on his reputation.

On another note, brilliant finish from Danny Welbeck against Sweden! (And Carrol's header wasn't too shabby either)

If you'd watched them over the whole season especially the end you wouldnt be saying that.

Rooney and Welbeck are the best strikers in the squad and the best partnership.

I'd say Rooney is the best striker and Carroll the next best

Rooney

This is why I think Rooney doesn't fit into the England team. Works great for Man United, but fails to perform for England. Can't control the ball and can't dribble (great penalty though!)
