Rashford omitted due to lack of game time for United, but Smalling included despite lack of game time for United.

All the more strange when you consider that Rashford frightens the hell out of opposing players whilst Smalling frightens the hell out of his own players.

it was the same with oxo got a reputation after a no more than decent 1st half against an out of sorts milan side,milan sorted themselves out at halftime and oxo never got a kick and went missing in the 2nd half and has never been sighted since,think that was 3 years ago

I think that you have to give Big Sam a chance before we start criticising him, we didn't want Roy initially. Lets all get behind him atleast for a few games !!!!!!!

Love to see him do well but fear he is totally out of his depth just like Roy

Big sam and little sam both looked out of their respective depths today on the training ground!!

This squad looks dreadful and you do wonder what we're building towards, but of course this is England and we're never actually building towards anything, just make it up as we go along and hope it comes good at the big tournament which we never play our best team at.

People didn't want Roy and were proven exactly correct?

How much out of depth would all these top managers have been with that squad at Sunderland?

It`s not the manager that`s the problem but the available player pool and until there is a change in the structure of English football that `s the way it is.All other nations have a lot more to pick from in their own leagues top division plus players playing abroad.The premier league has too much money for England to reach the very top of world football tbh they do well to do as they do.

Our player pool is 20 or 30 times that of Iceland.

With a good game plan, good organisation, determined players and good discipline and the rub of the green England can reach the semis of the World Cup.

Its not the player pool either the mentality of the England players is they cannot be bothered after the season has finished.NO PRIDE SIMPLE.

Thought heads would have rolled with his first squad, unfortunately not the case,

think he said in an interview leading up to the game that this was the most difficult game in the group, and he'd "take a draw",

I hope he can do well, it's about time someone made a fist of it, but it's not going to inspire the fans naming near enough the same team and playing your chances against Slovakia down.

AlLARDice..heres the plan.....
I don't care if we lose every game for a year or two...
Please come to your senses....
Rooney Gone necking champers on a yacht within hours of our disgraceful demise in Euros.
Cahill Gone
Smalling Gone
Lallana Sorry but gone
Walker Gone  sexting his urgent need to get out of France to be...well you know..
Jagielka Please Gone
Hart Don't get me going
Sturridge gone
Henderson gone

Nucleus of new team...

Vardi and Kane
Oxlade
Rose
Dier
Sterling...only cos he's still young and may realise haircuts don't make you a better player
Alli
Can't think of anybody else right now... but Samuel the Nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Btw I remember when Walter Winterbottom was Manager.
Please post any exciting young players so I can check them out.

Thanks.

Btw...wish Pep could have been in the loop for Manager...
Already I'm impressed with his view that Hart was not part of his
long term strategy.

I don't think this Slovakian side are as good as Iceland, however they're plenty good enough to see off this England team.  Have you seen their home record.

Can't understand why so many here are wetting their beds. This is an away qualifier. Most countries with a new manager would be very happy with a point.

We all know Hodgson was an addled old fool, we saw that at his last press conference. Big Sam will send a confident team out today. Stop your crying and see what he delivers.

Stones and Sterling.  At club level managed by the most innovative coach of this era.  With England managed by the 'play the percentages' maestro.  Quite contrasting experiences.

If England lose Sam will have the Euros lack of form conformed for those who have forgotten.
I expect a big clear out of the England squad over the first few games.

Agree about Vardy.  He is unique in that his first thought is "where is the f***ing goal"

Hodgson's England were the only team to qualify for the 2016 Euros with 100% record. Look where that got us.

The most important thing today is England play solidly and Big Sam goes nuts if the defence shows any frailty.

lost count of the number of tournaments rooney has bombed out in, we now have the ludicrous situation where rooneys been shoe horned into a midfield role in which theres a full tournament evidence not 3 months ago that he failed miserably in that position,no chance of him improving on that in the next world cup,ali should be giving the chance to see if he can do the job in front of rooney
