Lol. Rooney is one of the best players for this team. How is he the weak link I don't get.
Think you're being harsh calling them average... most of them have been great this season. Lallana, Sturridge, Barkley, Sterling, Gerrard etc. All done very well and helped their teams to have great seasons. To call them just 'average' is just like denying it's Rooney's fault that he doesn't perform for England.
This is the most excited I've been over an England squad, young players who have played very well this season and are certainly not average.
Was referring to past performances-should've clarified that
Rooney get's picked as he's the best England attacker. Has the ability to create something from nothing. You take him out and you take away our biggest threat. Nothing to do with who he plays for.
I don't understand where Rooney would fit in... we can't use 4-4-2 cos it is out-dated and we will be destroyed if we do. So you logically have to use a 4-3-3 which doesn't suit the players we have at all or a 4-2-3-1 which does. Or maybe more of a 4-4-1-1.
But Sturridge should be no.1 as striker and Rooney as a no.10/ CF kind of behind him. That's where I think he should be played. DO NOT PUT ROONEY UP TOP ON HIS OWN.. RECIPE FOR DISASTER.
Herpaderp, sarcasm? Nm.
Shall be watching the friendlies with interest. Normally I rarely get excited for a friendly-but these should be intruiging

What do you think?
With you, I'm never sure. Sometimes you suffer from PMS, sometime you act normal. I'm not even going to try.
Same, hopefully he does learn something from this season and changes style to suit our players.
Whilst I wouldn't go as far as to say he's the weak link I do feel Rooney up top alone would do more bad than good and he hasn't been performing overly brilliant at international level.
Interesting article about England's Group D opponents: in short, we're screwed.
Please don't be so negative, it's just frustrating to see...
This group I would class as tricky but certainly could of been worse. Definitely think the first game is crucial.
This is hypocritical considering that you were the most negative person on the United thread during Moyes's reign. Anyway, I'm not being negative, just realistic - if we draw against the likes of Algeria, then I doubt we can beat Uruguay or Italy.
How can you compare the two different situations though? England haven't even played a single game in the WC and you already negative.
Moyes was losing week in week out... making me negative.
England have been poor in at least the last 10 tournaments and haven't exactly been inspired in qualification.
