There also seems to be a blind hatred for Johnson on here, I'm not a fan but he has had a good tournament and has looked decent again, someone has to do the work on the RW because you won't get it from Milner
Think we've done pretty well at times, better team for the first 15 mins, defended manfully. Should have scored at least once. Italy have been better but we're doing OK.
CarrollWelbeck not been good enough atm either. Would love to see defoe come on

Rooney has obviously been asked to look after Pirlo. He remembers for about five minutes after he gets a reminder from the bench and then forgets again. Personally I think Rooney looks well out of form, he is getting more and more frustrated with his own performance, and I can see him geting sent off rather than scoring. Would rather see Carroll or Oxlade Chamberlain than Rooney. But Roy's not going to take England's 'best player' off...
I wouldn't normally be his greatest fan but this game today is made for him. He has no Italian wide player to pick up and he gets to bomb forward with every England attack. He's had more touches of the ball than any other England player in the first half.
He isnt good enough to partner johnson down the right sideI still cannot believe Lennon isnt there
Carroll
He isnt good enough to partner johnson down the right side
