No criticism’s of Sterling please.

Results of course matter most mate and I'd take a world cup win with nothing more than goals of sterling's backside to win it!
That said, if we want any sort of legacy or platform to build on then I'd like to see a little more.
The teams that have gone home have no bearing on my thoughts on our football. Or lack of it at times. Being honest so far we haven't played a team (dead rubber agaisnt Belgium aside) tjat we shouldn't have beat.
Sterling, cows backside, banjo, hit, couldn't.
Feel free to rearrange.

Thing is, Swedish defence, like the last game in parts, are terrified of him.even if he can't finish

You mean "couldn't score in a knocking shop!"

If anyone can argue he should have a starting place after that performance is a joke.
Shambles of a player, double rammel fits nicely as well.
A knocking shop in Middlesbrough 🤣🤣

I’m still saying he’s going to score in this game.

We have no right to beat any team and Southgate has set us up to play to our strengths, if we’d of been a bit more gung ho it could of backfired either in the group or against Columbia.

They agree that Sterling is hopeless , they think Rachford should come on in his place.
I can’t disagree

Actually, I think he's having a good game. He's creating havoc with Swedens back 4. They're absolutely terrified every time he's near the ball. Yes, his finishing is poor but if can get one then I think he'll grow in confidence.
At the end of the day, Sterling is getting into positions that is causing Sweden problems, a good save denied him, he’s a constant threat, pinning back their defence, ok he’s not clinical, but hopefully those opportunities will either bring him or someone else a goal. I understand the frustration of him not converting chances, but he’ll draw defences out allowing someone else to hopefully become free but Sweden will have to change that high line if he’s getting behind like he is as eventually he will score, and it will be deserved because his work rate is second to none.

Dont know why we are playing so slow.
Just what is Sterling?....He aint a striker, and certainly isnt strong enough for the midfield.
I think we play best when we play with more pace, and aprt from the 2 min utes before the goal we were too pedestrian. Playing like we are wont scare anyone.

His finishing is not there, I agree 100%, but as Fish put, if you can’t see other aspects of his game and what he brings to the team then he hasn’t got a chance.
This 👍

England just doing whats needed - a touch lucky with that offside early and seemed to have a bit of nerves but another set piece has done the business so far
The brilliant runs of Sterling are stretching the backline , they are scared of his runs - great save from the keeper stopped it being 2. Alli having another game where he is missing. Henderson doing superb in the middle on his own at times , Lingard trying to help out.
Need to find something more than set pieces though

I hope so. I can enjoy the rest of the match then.

One goal and I believe we’d see a totally different player.
