Defoe 
Rashford's participation almost certainly depends on the fitness of Sturridge.

He's arguably our best finisher and he's had a great few months ...
Notice England move much slower without the Spurs contingent .
I know Australia's, good era squad has long gone but outwith jedinak and rogic don't know much of this team

I know the press have been having a right go at our defence a lot recently, but after the last two friendlies I think we have a bigger problem in midfield. Both Turkey and Oz have walked through them with no resistance whenever they have wanted. There's zero steel there and no protection to our shaky back four.

Bet you a tenner he doesn't go.
I'm just thankful it wasn't Stones who scored that own goal - he'd have been slaughtered from pillar to post .
There still doesn't seem to be enough for the misplaced optimism for this side. Would think quarters at best

I'm sure he won't go , I just thought he should.

He wasn't good enough in his prime, and he definitely isn't now.
I've nothing against him, and I agree that he's a decent finisher, but he doesn't get in ahead of the other options.

You must know nothing about football if you think that the Slovakians are underrated
3 assists out of the last 4 England goals and could have had another tonight but yeh struggling to see what Sterling brings...

Why let that get in the way of an excuse to bash England?
I get the feeling Barkley is drained from the season and he's just not got much left. I don't see him contributing much at all to the cause this summer.

Roy ruined him. Ever since he came out in the press a year ago and said he gave the ball away too much, Ross has been half the player and nowhere near as exciting. He probably gives the ball away more now as well lol
So what's the thinking of bringing on a sub keeper with 3 minutes to go ?
Seems like giving a cap away cheap to me .
