I dont think Rooney has made a meaningful pass so far, and neither Milner.

And Milner. Sluggish and predictable in midfield. All the attacks are slowed down by those two.

Looking at this team you get the feeling Roy still doesn't have a plan A.

Kyle Walker is certainly burying the debate at right back. Having a superb first half here

You feel it will be Vardy that will loose his place at present. Then maybe Lallana onto the left side?

And wonderfully Rooney again loses the ball in a decent position....this time by falling over his feet.

The Rooney and Milner partnership in midfield is f*cking rank.

He will have to be replaced by an injured or unfit player.

Roys got a few problems at present, mostly created by him.

Though this might also be him showing why he can't pick Rooney

The only occasion when a red card is a bad thing, as you want a proper test (11 against 11) in the last game before the Euros.
