Sterling was MotM for me, Sturridge had a good game as did Henderson, Rooney was uncomfortable down the left.
And how about poor old Gary Lewin, dislocating his ankle in the aftermath of the equaliser...
Thursday night, I think Lallana and Lambert should come in for Rooney and Welbeck, Raheem put in a Sterling performance tonight (see what I did there lmao)
Argentina v Bosnia should be a decent game later today
England have to go for it in the next two games. Win them both and we're through. Draw or lose and we're out.
Don't agree with Henderson. He didn't tackle, wasn't involved in any build up and think his role was there just to disrupt Italy - which he didn't do.
Sterling started canny, but faded.
A big striker like Lambert will unsettle the foreign defenders and was one of the reasons I think Carroll should have gone, despite a poor season.
Welbeck needs dropping, with Barkley coming on and Woy rejigging the formation - to go for it.
As for Italy, shouted the first goal as soon as it was layed off. The midfield was caught short and too deep.
Johnson was dragged out of position for the second.
