Is anyone putting themselves through the England Norway game? Sterling is doing well (starting from the left), Sturridge lively at times and the two have linked a couple of times but its all a bit porridge, not that Norway are helping of course playing rather deep.

Interesting article on midfielders below

And a good comparison, i think, on Gerrard and the 'average' midfielder.

Ya there been a nice bit of link up play. Im trying to figure out does Hodgson have Henderson playing holding midfield? What a waste if he does.

Hope they ignore anything Hodgson says and don't pick up any bad habits.

I've been watching, the front 3 aren't doing anything wrong, but Rooney just can't play effectively with Sturridge and Sterling, and it's been evident since before the Euros.

Rooney is on the slide, past his peak.

I wish Sturridge and Sterling weren't involved in this pointless game tbh

Indeed.

100% guaranteed not to happen as the CL final is in June.

Our reserve LB in the future, Reus, just hit the post in the Germany:Argentina game. AND GOETZE SCORES....

2:4 to Argentina. That Di Maria lad plays well in blue but poorly in red, hopefully.

The best engine in the country and he has him playing holding midfield in a 442. 442 is a stone age formation.

Still trying to accommodate the "world class" wayne rooney while there best player sterling is shunted out wide.

Agent Coulson · 03-09-2014 08:30PM

Hodgson leaving the Liverpool players on as revenge for all the hate he gets from Liverpool fans.

Completely different since welbeck came on much faster in attack they are all just not on the same page yet.

Sterling is actually England's best player now. Not just tonight but in general. So good he even looks decent in a Roy Hodgson team.

rob316 · 03-09-2014 08:56PM

Ya sterling is now England's "rooney" they will place all there hopes and dreams in him at just 19. That's my major worry about him but thankfully we have rodgers to keep him grounded and focused.

One thing I know is he needs to be tied down to a very good contract, madrid will be out in full flight for him in the next season or 2.

Really? I think that's where Henderson ends up for us too ultimately.

Jose to come out tomorrow and declare Rooney still their best player. Nothing to do with him of course but it's never stopped him before!

Wonder what that was all about between Sterling and Delph at full time!

Isn't that a total waste of his energy, drive and attacking talent?

If the diamond is the future I see him and lallana as the two midfielders and Gerrard as the holding with him been replaced in the next year or two. Ideally I would perfer a top class partner for Henderson someone in the vidal mould but lallana would do.

Seemed like Sterling was giving him an earful over something.

DenMan · 03-09-2014 09:09PM

Sterling seemed really annoyed over something! He was talking to Delph and in the end Delph looked confused and walked away with Sterling still talking! Something happened alright!

pmy.murphy · 03-09-2014 09:30PM

England are always complaining about their team, its no wonder the team flop regularly with that sort of attitude from their fans. They won tonight yet their still complaining. I dont think I can ever remember positivity surrounding an England camp at a Major tournament

mosstin · 03-09-2014 09:37PM

Hodgson in rare form after the match tonight. Asked about only 2 shots on target, he responded "Only 2 shots on target? What about the shots people threw themselves in front of?"
Well, they wouldn't have been on target then Roy.
It irks me that this man has any responsibility whatsoever for Sturridge, Henderson, Lambert and Sterling.

Delph was supposed to pick up Sterling's kids from the pool.

Buyback clause and we're away if he gets his game

Christ football should be like baseball, a game every 2 days, would stop this nonsense.

Baseball has games a lot more frequently than that! 162 games in about 140 days, sometimes 2 full games in a day. I've seen games go over 6 hours too. It's intense.

Harry Palmr · 03-09-2014 10:38PM

I was averaging it out over the year! It would stop international football.

I misunderstood what was being said, he is actually going for nothing to Milan, couple of other clubs had agreed a 3m euro fee but the player chose Milan.

Free agent type stuff.
