Midfield is really terrible here. Shelvey can be excused a bit because he's hardly played with them and is being played out of position. Not a deep-lyer for me and he's been defensively sloppy.

As for Milner and Barkley though... Really turgid. Awful in fact.

England's midfield three should clearly - IMO - be: Carrick (holding playmaker), Henderson, Wilshere.

I'd agree but none of them are available here.
 
Alan Green was pontificating about his "next few years" in the England side and how he'll break the record number of caps.....if that's our only option we're fucked.
Correct, his best years are long gone, being picked because the media would f***ing crucify any manager who'd drop him.
 
Shelvey is right up there with Carlton Palmer and Geoff Thomas!!
 
Job's done, feet up. That's why they'll never win anything. A top team would be busting a gut to win all the other qualifying games.

Yep exactly this. They could be (I think - I might be wrong) the first England team to win every qualifying game for a tournament but instead they're strolling around not giving a f**k.
 
The contrast between england and germany last night is dramatic.

Would love it if we played like they do, but this type of performance is typical of what we do in the tournaments.
 
Dreadful business made all the worse with tuneless renditions of 'God Save The Queen'. If there really is a God, why would anyone in their sane mind believe that He/She would seek to intervene on behalf of an unelected Head of State? Or the England football team for that matter. safc is a different matter, of course. :)
