Group D: England vs Ukraine discussion

THE BALL GLIDES OFF THE LAWN ON ROONEY'S HEAD!!!!!!!

Rooney!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nearly with his head again. Great cross Young.

Rooney must bury that.

Carroll would have buried that.

Say it aint so Wayne!

omg....how the hell do you leave rooney unmark!?

ohhh rooney free header

Rooney... Sad miss

i got a feeling that the ukrainian defense is as crap as the dutch's from yesterday

Yarmolenko is a selfish twat.

Nice move from Ukraine, decent save from Hart

Terry's been by far our best player.

Gerrard and Parker have been abysmal. England's worst ever midfield.

Why is Rooney on the pitch?

Nice to see the Man U attacking front line link up so beautifully

More and more players suffering from the Robben predictability disease.

at least england won most of the headers today :I

A. Cole is being raped

That was well done by Young, though...maybe he should be transformed into a left back

Gerrard's been great aswell.

Good god Cole is really being spun around like Antonini on a sunday game.

If England's plan of scoring is set pieces and crosses and they don't bother getting possession back, why the hell Carroll was dropped then ?

8 players behind the ball...../facepalm

Rooney has been pointless so far. Needs to drop deeper since Parker and Gerrard aren't creating anything.

Gerrard has put 4-5 very good crosses in the box. A big fella with pony tail would have probably got his head onto them, but he is rotting on the bench now

Hodgson is a manager not only who lacks any sense of tactics. But he has no balls whats so ever.

Probably lost them somewhere when managing in the highlands of Denmark.

lol caroll. i would drop welbeck and put him on. At least rooney can drop deep and link up play

Gerrard can't play CM and Parker isn't good enough to run a midfield on his own, but with no Wheelchair I don't see a suitable plan B in that area for England, unless they move Rooney into CM

CM was never going to be their strength, though....where their play is coming up short is on the wings - If Young can't get it done than one of Ox/Walcott should replace him

And Milner is being played to cover for Johnson (most likely) but Johnson hasn't been offering anything offensively anyway, so you might as well remove Milner as well...
