England have done ok so far IMO

BUT Jack Wilshire is fast playing himself out of the England set up, very poor

{Ed025's Note - he was banbury, along with jones and stones..

Stones is so inexperienced so I can excuse him, Jones and Wilshire NO

{Ed025's Note - fair point BG..

Jack Wilshere is running the midfield.

Sorry, typo. Meant ruining.:-)

{Ed025's Note - i have to say...i feel sorry for the guy..he looks totally devoid of any confidence and self belief, lots of guys on here are of the opinion that this is a make or break season for jack, at the moment it looks like break to me and its such a waste of his undoubted talent, but such is life i suppose..

Funny how football divides opinion!
Carra, Barton, Oliver Holt, John Cross and pretty much every other football expert/player/journo said he was one of our best.
Banbury and Ed25 think he was poor.
Interesting.

Personally don't think he was brilliant, but he was by far the best of the trio.

{Ed025's Note - being the best of that trio tonight is hardly anything to be proud of though LG, im not getting on his case, just fearing that his performance could see him lose his england place, and that would be a kick in the teeth he could do without mate.

Wilshere was played in a different position, and with the two center backs playing so close together, it left him with very little room.
I think Hodgson got the formation wrong.

{Ed025's Note - some might say you are right MgM..as that formation included jack..

Couldn't agree more.

The worse thing about JW, and I'm not really just talking about tonight, is his first touch.

For a 'composed' player, his first touch is poor, than he overstretches to win it back, resulting in injury.

I think Jamie Redknapp said this week "Jacks first team place is not guaranteed at Arsenal".

I think he has a point.

I wish, Wilshire to do a Ramsey and be formidable in our midfield.

I though he did ok. He was asked to play in position deep in midfield that for me does not suit him.

I personally don't think he can play as holding midfield because his first natural instinct is to turn and run at the defence and so when he does loss the ball it can leave a team exposed. A good holding player gets it and gives it with a eye for long pass and does not venture too far forward.

Wilshire game is about risk when it comes off it can really open teams up and create chances for others with his sharp one twos or darting runs, and you need that sort of player in your team that will take those risks.

There will always be a risk of him losing the ball that is why he better played further forward, so when he does loss it does not leave a team so badly exposed.

Didn't catch the game but didn't England win 2 0? Fail to see how Roy got the tactics wrong MGM, hope Arsene gets them as wrong all season :-)

Good one Ryan. Totally agree. I think he was told to be disciplined and stay put deep.

But he is off his best so he better go find it over the next run of games. Confidence game. Nt as good has he needs to be, but not as bad as some are making out in the media.

G62, there was no linkup play down the middle, sterling was coming from the right wing to pick the ball up from the centre backs.
If it wasn't for half of their players being very disinterested in playing, it would have been different.

Contracting yourself there though Ed. Why would the best of the trio be the one that gets dropped? And it's hardly like we've got players to come back that will displace Wilshere or Henderson.

{Ed025's Note - its not a contradiction LG, for me none of that trio should be playing mate, stones is not a right back but if he does play should be playing alongside cahill as jones is woeful, and jack has been poor for a year...but thats just my opinion..

Fair play MGM mate as I say I didn't watch it but on paper 0 2 win away from home against a team who had a very good world cup does sound good.

I meant the trio of midfielders; Jack, Henderson and Delph.
