Walker, Rose, Dier, Alli & Kane.
I fully expect these mighty Spurs players to be back in the team tonight. Bertrand did ok in his showing. Clyne also impressed vs Slovakia. Henderson started quite poorly but got into the game a lot more in the second half. Vardy chased 1 long ball and failed to take his chance but did little else vs Slovakia.
I think that the key for England is more incision through the middle of the pitch. We tend to get it wide and cross but so far have had little success this way. Alli and Kane thrive more of balls coming through the middle, especially Alli who finds pockets of space or moves from wide into a central area with good runs, but what seems to happen is these options are ignored, the ball goes wide and is either crossed (largely ineffectively so far) or it belatedly comes inside again by which time there are 10 defenders waiting for us.
Quicker, more incisive passing needed. Rooney needs to take responsibility to make this happen and not just spread play to the full backs, which seems to be his 'signature move'. I was hoping Wilshere would show this sort of incision in his passing but he was poor, so will be dropped. Dier can also do it quite well but needs to do it quickly.
5 Spurs back in the England team tonight?

Why have ITV had 3 out of 4 England games?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the BBC have the same negotiating skills as the remaIN campaigners

The England checklist:
- England dominating possession
- Hart having a flappy moment when under no pressure
- Majority of best chances falling to players who you'd least want them to fall to i.e. Lallana, Henderson, Sterling
- Lallana hitting his shot at the keeper or wide, every time
- Walker and Rose doing great work on the flanks only to then end up putting in an under or overhit delivery
- Kane greedily taking shots from distance that don't test the keeper
- Sturridge greedily taking shots from distance that don't test the keeper
- Three rubbish corners for every one good one
- A better first half than second half
- Any point when you feel England are doing well, will be dashed quickly, and painfully
Let's see how many we can tick off tonight.

"It doesn't matter who the other 10 players are, but if (as predicted) he recalls Sterling, he should be sacked on the spot"
It would hilarious to see some FA stuffed shirt march onto the pitch and sack Woy just before the kick off,as they line up for the national anthems!

Woeful. I cant even try and dissect it, when players struggle trapping a ball itnis hard to.
I will say one thing......Dier had a poor half, in a poor half for England. However when he went off we actuallybgot much much worse.
Headless chickens. A striker, a 10 and and a non tackling midget in central midfield. Three 9s too later on. Woy went crazy
