Ryan_Taylor Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Jack Wilshire might be the softest footballer I've ever seen. Seems to be constantly on his knees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I enjoyed watching an England game for once. I'd like to think Hodgson will take some of last nights attacking intent into the competition. I like this England set up. First time in ages I've actually thought that. Great to see some attacking intent and movement from the younger players last night.

The College Dropout Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Best thing was Ox, Barkley and sometimes Wilshere's movement and ability to run with the ball. Worst is we saw some of the weaknesses that come with inexperience. Not being tight enough. Not watching the second man etc. Which will be worst in.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I hope Wilshere isn't near the starting eleven. He's good, but nowhere near the hype he's given. I'd have him over Henderson. I would in some matches, I just wonder if some games are so competitive and physical that we need someone with more running. Especially when Gerrard plays.

TaylorJ_01 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 "Someone with more running" what does that even mean? Wilshere has a fantastic work ethic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 "Someone with more running" what does that even mean? Wilshere has a fantastic work ethic. Stamina, endurance, athleticism. Wilshere is pretty quick and works hard but I have doubts over his "engine". I do prefer him to Henderson but I worry about the legs of a Gerrard / Wilshere midfield duo.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Proper buzzing about Barkley like. Potential to be an incredible player. Hodgson wasn't too impressed Think he's deliberately playing down the media and fan hype tbh, which is fair enough, really. Too often we hype our players up just before a tournament and for whatever reason, they fail to deliver. Might also spur Barkley on in training knowing that he's still not guaranteed a start.

KaKa Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I love Barkley. He's always going to make something happen. He might not always get it right with the final decisions, but he will not just be out there going through the motions. Ultimately he'll create chances for the team. He was fantastic for that second goal yesterday, absolutely brilliant play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The Ox would be a real loss imho. Great option off the bench against tired legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 If Barkley starts he's going to have to do a lot of defensive work due to having Gerrard as the deepest midfielder. He's going to need legs around him like he does for Liverpool, that's my major concern right now there's too big a gap between the deepest midfielder and the rest of the midfield.
