Yeah, Wilshire's been great in that deeper role. The pass for the Ox was world class.
Downing was played out of position and carrying a slight knock. Not making excuses for him but I'm not sure he should've played, full stop, and certainly not where he did.
Big problem for Hodgson when Sturridge is fit. Welbeck's been great this past few games and must deserve to keep his place.
Listened to a phone in last night, afterwards. Unbelievable that after a 6 game unbeaten run there are still people who want Hodgson out, and criticising Rooney. Hodgson has put a foot wrong since the WC (and I'm not sure, taking each game individually, he did much wrong there, either). And Rooney's been great since becoming captain. I sometimes wonder exactly what the average England fan expects. They talk as though we're just a new manager and captain away from suddenly being Brazil circa 1970.
