Is it me or is Wilshere an abysmal footballer? I don't think I've seen him play well.
He's not abysmal but nobody could live up to the fawning hero worship he's getting from the commentators, no matter what he does.

Are the Swiss booing Hart or just the back passes.

Milner has not played for his club so it's only right that he should not start for England.

Why?

If he's the best English player for his position he should still start.

He is better than any of the midfielders out there tonight.

Good save but that should have been a net buster.

And there is more chance of me playing CM for England than there is Milner.

I think Wilshere is a composite made up by the London Press using old bits of Gerry Francis  with a punch of Alan Devonshire.    Both who were over rated
(The above post only understood by older readers!!)

Seemingly.  But why?  Did we just see an oddly purple patch or remember his time in our centre mid with claret and blue specs on or something?

This is probably the worst back four I've seen play for England. Obviously I'm not sure on Stones yet, but the others are average at best.

Delph not injured and hopefully will be subbed at halftime. Job done.
