Bit of a test this for some of the new players who've yet to be tested. In particular Clyne and Delph who're struggling a little bit so far.

Clyne has looked very nervous, hasnt attempted to take his man on once.
Delph a bit lost.
Hart's distribution still dog shit after all these years.

How the hell does Phil Jones get in the England side?

We're a yard off them all over the park. No one in midfield looking to play any incisive balls.
Missing wilshere's ability to drive past men in the centre of the park with them sitting so deep.

How the hell does Phil Jones get in the England side? Because he's better than the other centre backs bar Cahill, generally.

Because he's trying to play a defensive minded player at the bottom of the diamond, and Jones is a bit more adaptable than the other defenders. I wouldn't have done it, but I can see his thinking...

Once again we can knock over the lesser nations, but when up against the big hitters we come up short.

We've got some disappointing years coming up unfortunately, not that we aren't used to it
Hopefully there are some good 15/16 year olds on the way through

Jones isn't a good enough player to play in midfield. Suppose friendlies are for finding these things out, but Im surprised Roy needed to. At least smallings gone off. The Italians will be so relieved they won't have to cope with his searching 40 yard balls in the 2nd half!

I wouldn't have done it, but I can see his thinking... He could have played Delph there because he never takes a man on and generally does bugger all out on the left.

Think we have a pretty decent crop of young players coming though. I think we'll have a decent chance in France and by Russia will have a strong side.

How the hell does Phil Jones get in the England side? How do most of them get into the squad tbh! We've just had a few decent 4-3-3 games and the players look totally lost in this system - shocking.

You always know when England are poor - the centre halves have to hit 40 yd balls because the system allows then to do little else. They look a bit like Town in some of our worst efforts this season. If this is the best that Neville and Hodgson can come up with - we are in a lot of trouble for the next few years.

It's games like this that make your realise we haven't We have a major lack of quality defenders available. We've got plenty of decent ones but none that are going to be good enough to see you reach a tournament semi final Without a good defence you're never going to get far at this level Agree that we have some good attacking options though

Sorry Captain but if we have Phil Jones anywhere near our squad in those tournaments we may as well stay at home. I don't think I would want him in Towns midfield.

We're crap compared with other country's teams, and we will continue to be so.

Kyle Walker, another one that really shouldn't be anywhere near an England squad
