Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy were split far too wide with the captain thrust up between them like an eager wet dog plonking itself in an unwelcome lap
https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/jun/02/england-roy-hodgson-wayne-rooney-out-of-shape
This is surely, surely obvious to everyone apart from Rooney himself now. If he must start it has to be in place of Vardy.
― On a Raqqa tip (ShariVari), Friday, 3 June 2016 08:21 (seven years ago) link
The point about pulling Kane and Alli further apart is a good one. How many goals did that partnership lead to this season?
Obviously Alli is getting sent off in our disastrous final game, that much is a foregone conclusion.
