......and the f******* band. All they do is slow down the tempo; Great Escape - meh, turgid; National Anthem - before the match, yes, during it, no!. Unless they can learn to play Babylon's Burning or Tomorrow Girls or something similarly frenetic to drive the team on, they should eff off.

Think I'd put Barkley, Stones and Lallana into the 'in' camp, and possibly I'd swap Sturridge for Welbeck. Not sure I'd go with Henderson (although probably squad) and I didn't think Drinkwater really played himself into contention tonight either. And goalkeeping-wise, I thought Forster was...

Really? Seemed to get an important block or interception in any time one was really needed, and promptly despatched the ball to the half way line or beyond which was fine, because England would then fanny around with it for five minutes, gradually working the ball back to the GK, before...

Fair enough, decent player, always seems to give 100%. Good luck to him (and Sturridge and all the other lads who get a game tomorrow night).

I thought the Sun had toned down its page three - didn't realise the birds there still got their sudokus out!

True, but I'm sure Brazil would have liked to have had the 'Best defender I ever played against', according to Pele. Bobby Moore

Not a bad point there - I'm sure I remember the Brazil World Cup winning team of 1970 were supposed to be pretty crap defensively. Have concerns about both last night's CBs - particularly Smalling - but I actually think they did a half decent job last night.

OK. A big night out on the booze if it does! Edit: maybe a week...........

No.........I'm not that greedy!

Nah, I'd just hide a very satisfied smile, and keep shtumm! Don't know about closeness to the grave, but several decades looks like a good deal!

In that team? He doesn't Not even in the squad on merit now. We have better strikers and better attacking midfielders. Several of them played tonight.

Stick in a Brexit for a fabulous treble and I'd die happy!

Fairy nuff. Thought Henderson did OK tonight, good work-rate and all that, but admit I'd put Barkley in ahead of him.

Hello, hello - is this the NSC anti-Liverpool agenda showing its face again? (Apologies if it isn't, but NSC does have a bit of form on this.............................................)

Don't get confused. It's quite simple. We shouldn't play Henderson, Welbeck or Lallana because they've played before and failed (not my opinion, someone else's that I was responding to). By that logic, the seven others who have played before can also be said to have failed (they were in the same...

Surely then that could be applied to all the team except Rose.

.....and set up as 4-3-3 according to Sky, not 4-2-3-1. Looks a fairly decent team to me, though I don't think England are as well off for defenders as we traditionally have been.
