I think the improvement really just came from switching to a sane and functional formation, rather than having much to do with the particular players that came on.

actually now that I think about it maybe it was wilshire who made the biggest impact. he can actually turn a defender

I thought Sturbridge was gash tbh but ofc liverpool fans triumphantly seized on two of their players coming on as evidence they should have started even tho it was just fresh legs against the ten seafood loving men of portufal

they both got in the box and considered taking a shot. sturridge should have scored too

the first thing he did was miscontrol a pass which went out for a goal kick. luckooly my housemate was on hand to point out he couldn't be expected to control the ball straight away after coming on :rant:

The weirdest thing about it was Roy changed absolutely nothing when Portugal went down to 10 men, he just didn't react at all, while Portugal changed to playing keep ball. That's the sort of inflexibility that'll kill us in a tournament.

I thought the worst England player on the pitch was Millner and I'm still mad as heck that Kane was taking corners and free kicks ffs.

Jesus was commenting on the Portuguese channel and he was like "Look at Roy. Look at him. It's like he's watching an opera, he's doing nothing. (laughs) Thank God for that!"

tbf the point was to see if England could play in that formation, not really to win a meaningless game against 10 men. The red card was useless to everyone.

Though he probably could have figured out that England can't play in that formation before the 70th minute.

Yes I know that, my point is you don't play that sort of formation/personnel against a team that's playing keep ball/playing at being hard to break down. A manager should adapt to the change, it's not inconceivable to think we could end up in that situation in the tournament and it was helpful to no one to continue to gently caress about for as long as they did.

You can't play Rooney, Alli, Vardy and Kane all at the same time. Someone who's not Rooney needs to be benched

Only way Rooney doesn't play is if he gets injured.

He could have used it to practice changing to play against a team with ten men.
