rodders0223 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 They should change the name of the national side to "Rooney" . Makes me cringe the love in going on . He is our best player, and soon to be all time top scorer. Isn't that something to be lauded? Besides, everyone loves a striker. How bizarre.

If you are referring to my comment I did not "pick on " Rooney nor criticise him , I was referring to the "love in" from the commentators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Bit of a passenger in the England midfield, doesn't seem to have the licence to get forward (or he just seems to timid to do so). People aren't getting to see the "real" Delph IMO, which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I thought he did ok. Involved in the play a lot, broke up the play well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Average. Gave the ball away more than he should have but worked hard and tried to get the ball moving around. Will play 90 mins against Italy which will be fun for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 He always plays like that for England so he must be told to stay back, quite disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 He did get forward a few times to be fair and came close to scoring twice. The first effort a left foot volley, he was very unlucky with, the second one he fluffed his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenko#4 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I think he will be starting for England regularly now. Hodgson seems to have a system in mind and is plugging in the players to fit it, rather than picking the best eleven individuals and trying to develop a system for them. Both Delph and Henderson are proper box-to-box midfielders that can tackle, break up play, play a simple pass and arrive late into the box. It allows Hodgson to then be as creative as he wants with his front 3/4 knowing that he has the workrate of them both to back it up. There are arguably better English midfielders out there (Barkley, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wilshere) but I don't think any of them fit the system as well as Delph and Henderson. It will be interesting to see how they do up against Pirlo & Verratti, but I think we will be pleasantly surprised.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) What Hodgson could do is to play a diamond, to make Space for both Kane and Rooney, with Sterling just behind them. Edited March 27, 2015 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I thought he was decent enough but the opposition was poor. Better game than Henderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But where would you get your width. I thought Clyne was poor tonight, he offered zero going forward. Baines did get forward but not much end product.
