Too many times the players determine the formation. Rather than the formation determining the players. We could take a leaf out of France's book. Sagna and Giroud both on the bench yesterday. If it were England we would probably have Giroud on the wing or Benzema. With Sagna at left back!
How he actually does here - it is impossible to know. On paper he's an upgrade.
Just the kind of manager Spurs should have appointed, someone with a bit more experience and a good win record who has actually won silverware as a player and manager.
Nothing that unexpected about the lineup really. Only change from what I expected was Sterling in for Lallana. But I think Adam is better off the bench for England anyway.
England haven't really played to Adams strengths so far. Exposed his limitations, a lack of real pace and unable to get on the end of high balls. He's used to playing proper football at Saints :-)
I think it's because Koeman is considerably more experience and successful. Bruce just doesn't compare at the moment so it's hard to fathom why we'd go for him instead of Koeman.
