Yeah I'm more or less in agreement with Halsey. Drinkwater might also be the best option in that role, at least his one good season has been this season. There's actually loads of pretty good options if he goes with a 4-1-2-1-2, but picking Rooney stuffs it up a bit because he's so bad at pressing.

To expand my thoughts on Wilshere in England, I just think he's a better deep lying playmaker than any of the other options, which would make the midfield a bit more balanced. Dier, Henderson and Alli works very well if you're going to go all out pressing though, which might be the best option.

That deeper role is 100% Dier's surely. Wilshere has only even played a handful of games there and some were disasters. His passing range isn't even anything special.

Wilshere is crap and hasn't played for about a year. Should be nowhere near the discussion unless 20 players go down injured between now and June.

Assuming Wilshere recovers and doesn't pick up another injury that keeps him out for a year.

Oh **** off Milner.

So far:

Can't take corners. Can't pass. Can't track back.

About the only thing worse than Rooney playing will be that ****ing hack getting any game time.

Rose improving.

Milner-watch: Still can't pass. Keeps falling over for no apparent reason. Tracking back now only half an hour behind play. Did successfully do a 'have it' hoofed clearance.

1-0 England.

Forgot about the game, turned it on, within 30 seconds Vardy scores. Within 35 seconds someone mentions he played lower league football once. Just **** off.

Nah to hell with it. So many reasons why it's worth mentioning again and again and again
