Six changes is a big risk imo, it's made me more nervous than I was expecting.

And I think Wales will beat Russia, so we really could do with a win.

Bilic going on and on. Occasionally making sense, but why hasn't anyone pointed out to him that against Wales at the end, to which he has referred about 15 times already, there were three attackers on the field for England, not 2 as in this team. No doubt he will give everyone at least another ten opportunities to point this out to him before the match begins.
My understanding (might be wrong) is his point was a more general one. If you win a game in a major tournament with a period of domination at the end.. why then would you enter into the next game with so many changes if they're not required. You want to try and build momentum not kill it off the moment it sparks into life.

Evans is better than Smalling but got sold.

Absolutely. I could understand the changes if we were already through but with quite a bit still on the game it leaves me a tad uneasy.

Looks like Hoddle has been to the same pensioners hairdressers as Woy ,, probably sitting next to each other under the hairdryers

I've still got no problem with Rooney not in anyway. He's been composed and mature, but he's not irreplaceable.

Saying that, putting him on the bench for Henderson, I don't agree with. They will swap at 60 mins I Imagine

That is what I heard. England had three attackers on the field at the end against Wales, desperate to get the winner; three substitutes were on the pitch. No way England were going to start with those three or play in that formation at the start against Slovakia. Keep Vardy and Sturridge, Wilshere on for Rashford (not literally but you know what I mean) . The other three we could discuss - I wasn't expecting any of those, but other than Rooney, I'm relaxed about those changes. Of course, I'm not a TV pundit needing to whip up some interest and desperate to say I told you so if it all goes wrong

Just ahead of the kick-off, it's worth reiterating that a win for England boosts Northern Ireland's chances of going through as one of the best third sides by damaging Slovakia's goal difference.

2-0 lead after around 20 minutes and then coast the rest of the game; reduce my stress levels!

No real problems with the line up for me.

Rose and Walker busted their guts in the first two games and Rooney could also do with a rest.
Kane, Alli and Sterling haven't performed so give others a chance.

Only doubt is Wilshire over his match fitness.

Slovakia haven't had to deal with forwards of Sturridge's and Vardy's quality in this tournament. I think they'll struggle to contain them.

Decent chance, that. Good defending, though.

Could do with an early goal, but after all the pressure we put on Russia the other day without reward, I am not hopeful.
