Lallana----Vardy-----Sturridge vs Slovakia for me, Wilshere in for Alli too
Agree with your front 3 Miralem.
Not sure Alli deserves a dropping though? Wilshere not done a lot in his cameo and Alli tired in the last game but still had moments of brilliance.
i just think our midfield 3 are a little too static, Wilshere can carry the ball 10-15 yards and open up gaps, he's also the best passer of the ball in the side, Alli for me has been underwhelming this tournament, his passing and touch has been poor on the whole
The whole team looked static other than the full backs in the first two games until Sturridge and Vardy came on.
We definitely need more movement. I think Alli could also benefit from this. I think he deserves at least another game. Wilshere to potentially get a chance if Alli fails to impress against Slovakia.
Alli's energy and touch of class is still ahead of Wilshere for me who continues to flatter to deceive.
i would like him to keep faith in Kane for one more game. Sturridge and Vardy either side of Kane would be my preferred line up. Lallana and Rashford are both capable options of the bench if he needs to change it up.
Sterling - Vardy - Sturridge
Rooney - Dier - Wilshere
Alli has been poor, Wilshere is the best Eng midfielder by far.
Lallana is rubbish.
Seriously Liquid? I don't understand the praise of Lallana and find him average at best but worse than Sterling? Has anyone in the football league been worse than Sterling in these Euros?
Lallana can be very receiving the ball in a congested part of the pitch and creating space for himself and team mates. I think he was our best player against Russia. He's not outstanding by any means, but I think he's more likely to creat something in a difficult game than a lot of our other midfielders.
Rashford......... Kane...........Sturridge
You're sticking with Kane TB? I guess he deserves a chance next to decent players.
Too early for Rashford though for me. Way too early.
His natural game is to come on for Kane or Vardy if they're struggling.
yeah, Rashford would be first sub for me, he's got so much pace and he plays without fear, he's probably the calmest finisher in the squad too, great against tiring defences
Lallana is criminally under rated.
i like Lallana, he would have had a great assist vs Wales if Sterling wasnt literally a toilet
The problem for Kane is the players along with him aren't suited to him. If you're playing Kane then play Milner on the right who's the only playing apart from Rooney who can put a good ball into the box. No point playing him with intricate short passers and movers like Lallana and Sterling.
For me I'd go with Sturridge, with Sterling left and Lallana right, with Dier, Wilshere and Rooney behind them. Vardy would be next in line and then Kane when England need his aerial presence.
Lallana has played quite well in both games, and was given man of the match by Uefa for the Wales game, so not quite sure why he would be coming of the bench, and Kane should be starting.
Lallana presses so well, has excellent movement and is one of the most technically gifted players England has.
The only thing rhatblets him down is that he doesn't finish enough chances and he occasionally needs to move the ball on quicker. But he's an excellent player and has been one of Englands best players at the tournament so far

More what I think he'll do rather than what I want.

I don't understand te praise for Lallana - yes he's a beat footballer and a workhorse, but I prefer my protests players to actually have some cutting edge.
His final ball and shooting is embarrassing. Sturridge did more in the first 5 minutes of being on than Lallana in the first two games despite being unable to run!!!
^ try your best to fight though my auto incorrect!!
Lallana is one of those players who contributes virtually nothing in terms of end product. A poor man's version of what Rosicky has sadly been at Arsenal.
Sterling may be in poor form, but he can decide a game in a single play. Lallana will never do that.
The only reason Lallana is playing at all is because Welbeck & Ox are injured.
I can see Woy giving the same starting 11 a 3rd go.
Lallana is worse than Ronaldo 😉😉
Lallana is one of those players who you don't notice how important they are till they aren't there. When he plays the team plays better, he drags players out of position and creates space for others as well as often starting attacks with an excellent pass.
As I said, criminally under rated.
i once described Lallana as a player who everyone accepts is a good player but nobody actually wants in their team, don't think thats too far off
Based on his performances in the first two games I would rather Tom Heaton start out wide than Sterling. Nobody can surely want him to start the next game? Really?
The team looked so much more creative in the second half against Wales then why would you change it? Give Srurridge and Vardy another chance to work with each other. Kane needs service and when you have a team that has been as poorly prepared as this one you need to accept that it might just be the team that clicks rather than the team that fits getting the ball to one of your best strikers.
Lallana has been ok and with the mysterious absence of wide players in the squad I'd keep him in the side. At least with Sturridge and Vardy playing you've got two players who know how to finish rather than it being totally reliant on service to Kane.
I like Alli and would keep him in, but if you're going to give an undercooked Wilshere a game to get up to speed then the last group game is probably the one to do it.
I wouldn't be surprised if Woy tries to get Wilshere in somewhere and to still start with Kane. If he starts with Sterling I'll scream! ... and I bet he's going to try and get H(orr)enderson on at some point.

Should Vardy Start?
