Surely, we have a better centre half than Phil Jones !
I know Jones is still young but personally Eric Dier has had a better start to the season AND he's also young. Why not play him? Or at least have him in the squad.
In terms of club performances, nobody can say that a single Man United player deserves to be playing in the England squad after last seasons performances and this seasons start.
These players aren't worldbeaters yet but they are young. Everyone wanted to remove the old guard, well this is what we have left so lets stop slagging them off before they've had a fair crack
No England for me tonight first time in a long time its on TV and I aint watching
Football is appalling Rooney and Delph should not be playing Spain V Macedonia for me tonight
Of course Delph should be playing. England need a player to break up play and shield the defence and he's the best English player available for that role. Or we could do what we did in the World Cup; jam the big players in there regardless of how it affects the structure of the team and watch teams exploit our obvious weaknesses. I hope Delph has a cracker
Delph is a very decent player. Sorry he's not a big name and doesn't play for a big club but he's been consistently outperforming people like Jack Wilshere for well over a season now. Happy for him and hope he gives a good account of himself.
Finally Roy playing a 4-3-3 with three central midfielders and one acting as an achor. God I've bloody hated the formations he's been using, personally think the 4-2-3-1 is terrible unless you use it right.
Worried about our fullbacks though. Could see both Lich and Rodriguez getting A LOT of space down our wings w/ our fullbacks, one naive defensively and another not experienced/fully comfortable at RB.
PS: What does Clyne have to do to get into this team considering the state of our defence?
It's like recycling... You alone probably won't make a difference but as a collective, the british public can make a big difference from their living rooms.
Just take it as a fresh start and enjoy the game! No negativity while the game is on! I don't exactly rate a couple of the players but like when Spongefoot is on the Valley pitch, he (and so they) have my 100% support.
Delph and Wilshire - excuse the language but fuck me that's bad.
Parker should have been a England regular 6 years before he did.
Maybe the Villa fans no off Delph like we did of Parker, people used to look at me as if I had two heads when I said Parker should be in the team back then.
Im glad different faces are given a chance before its too late. Just have to stick with them.
I would question what the fck Shelvey has done to no be considered.
why have Delph and no sign of Colback, Huddlestone, Barry, Osman
whats with the lol @Callumcafc Put it this way Huddlestone was one of the most consistent performers last season Gareth Barry, everyone has said you cant play him when Lampard or Gerrard are playing so surely now you can Jack Colback was a key player for Sunderland in their survival bid last season and Leon Osman performs on a consitant basis as well, all 4 are better than Delph
Delph has been our best player so far. So just watch the match and criticise if he plays badly afterwards.
(Outside of his tackling, maybe trying to impress a little too much).
Hang on he is the holding midfielder his tackling needs to be spot on, barely 10 minutes have been played how can you say he is the best player, there are probably a few players who have not touched the ball yet lol

Spain V Macedonia for me tonight
Come on England...
hilarious for me, as a Swiss resident, to watch the locals terrified at our cave man persona. Great atmosphere.
I hope Sommer feels the pressure of his new no.1 goalie and drops a ricket. Im banking on a keeper blunder to decide it
I won't though because I'm an idiot!
Watch him tear it up with his engine

We have needed to give young players a chance for decades.
Regardless of the result tonight this is the way forward.
It might take a while but we have to take the pain now in order to improve long term.
Osman isn't defensively minded.
Barry is 82 years old.
Huddlestone had a purple patch last season, average since.
Apparently Delph our best player so far.

Oh wait, we have Rooney.
