He's not played enough to prove he's better than Delph, let alone Shelvey.

Now isn't the time for young unproven players, in any case.

Surely better then Dalph and Shelvey.

Right now Fabregas wouldn't start over Shelvey, let alone Loftus Cheek.

Tbh I see Shelvey starting at Euro 2016.

A lot depends on who is in form towards the end of the season.

Barkley has had a good start so he will continue playing behind Rooney. Henderson is the usual B2B while Wilshere is the 2nd name on the teamsheet.

I am hoping that midfield clicks, eventhough it seems a bit attack heavy.

by Jay29 Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:59 pm

Hart, Cahill, Wilshere, Henderson, Welbeck, Sterling and Rooney are sure starters if they're fit. I think Milner and Delph have more of a chance starting with Wilshere/Henderson to protect Wilshere, since putting Shelvey or Barkley in there will hurt the team defensively.

Shelvey (if he keeps up his form) and Barkley would be two decent bench options, at least.

They are still young and it's best if they stat on the bench, IMO

Did I get that right that Hodgson didn't even mention Switzerland in that press conference about the Switzerland match? Laughing

by RealGunner Mon Sep 07, 2015 6:20 pm

not read the quotes but he probably talked about Rooney 90% of the time

by Jay29 Tue Sep 08, 2015 6:39 pm

England team to play Switzerland;

Hart

Clyne - Smalling - Cahill - Shaw

Milner - Shelvey - Delph

Chamberlain - Rooney - Sterling

by rwo power Tue Sep 08, 2015 8:23 pm

BAH GAWD IT'S KANE!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Unique Tue Sep 08, 2015 9:10 pm

1-0 kane

by Jay29 Tue Sep 08, 2015 9:10 pm

Kane proving to be a good option off the bench, as I thought he would be.

We've been very average, though. Can't say we deserved that.

rooney scores it

by Jay29 Tue Sep 08, 2015 9:26 pm

2-0. Rooney penalty (he gets a lot of those).

That damn record is finally out the way. Now maybe he can start playing the top forward he's supposed to be.

by B-Mac Tue Sep 08, 2015 9:27 pm

pretty sure this is only his 5th penalty for England if the commentators are to be believed

my god the the pants creaming over rooney is now getting silly. the guy has racked up a cricket score v crap teams over the years. where was he in the big games against good teams when he didnt get a touch of the ball. :facepalm:

by B-Mac Tue Sep 08, 2015 9:41 pm

well I mean England haven't exactly covered themselves in glory in big tournaments as a whole.

by RealGunner Tue Sep 08, 2015 9:57 pm
