Nevermind
really hope kane doesn't get stuck on the bench - would be very frustratingI said after the last England match that there's not much point playing Sterling and Lallana, use the firepower instead, which means starting Sturridge and Vardy. Players who are great finishers win you games and that's exactly what happened when they came on.
Next time get it right from the beginning and play a front 3 of Kane, Vardy, and Sturridge.
Italy... But that was one game so far.So no team has actually stood out in this tournament so far have they.

Little from column A, little from column B. I thought Italy were very good.Think a lot of that was down to Belgium shitting the bed.

Play Wilshere?I think you're then asking Vardy and Sturridge to do a lot of defensive work, and you've still got the issue of who's actually going to pass to them.
We need a bit of guile as well as just pace and finishing ability. That's why I'd keep Lallana in the side and also play Wilshere (if he's fit). Probably at the expense of Sterling and Alli.
