Euro 2016: Coleman would have taken Wales’ position before tournament started
Subs will play a major part in this tournament.
The pair were introduced at half-time in Lens with England 1-0 down after Gareth Bale’s 42nd-minute free-kick.
Ahead of Monday’s final Group B match, which is likely to secure England’s progression into the last 16, Shearer has given his thoughts on team selection.
Ashley Williams says Wales would have happily accepted the do-or-die Euro 2016 scenario they face when they come up against Russian Federation in Toulouse on Monday.
Fair play to Roy though, he was bold at half-time in his changes and that has laid a platform and hopefully we will get through to the quarters now and then it depends who we get. The real question is whether we Aussies should be cheering.
“We can still progress and it is in our hands”. “All I’m prepared to say is we want to win that game”.
Sturridge’s place in the 23-man squad had been in doubt due to a calf complaint during the preparation camp, but the Liverpool striker repaid his manager in spades at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Not the result we wanted.
“Obviously, we’re massively disappointed but I’m proud of everyone”.
“We wish them well, I hope they get out of the group and go far”.
‘The fans have been brilliant and we just need to continue what we have been doing both on the pitch and off the pitch.
“It took a lot of incredibly good defending from a Wales back five to keep us out, but we got the two goals and we go home happy”.
Joe Ledley has insisted he’ll be ready for Russian Federation and confirmed he has not suffered a set-back from his incredible French fitness recovery.
Normally that’s just a suffix you put on the end of a team from Manchester, but England United is actually a thing right now.
Coleman said he had expected the England match to be hard and his only criticism of his team was that the “Battle of Britain” occasion may have got to them, causing them to rush their passes and cede possession too often. That is football, you go to hit people and it was an accident how Sturridge came in.
Wales were never going to take the game to England.
“I was prepared for some”, he said.
Shearer has stated that he feels sorry for the Tottenham youngster, but he believes that the striker should be dropped for England’s final group game.
“Watching France play Albania last night it was a similar situation where (Paul) Pogba and (Antoine) Griezmann came on the field and that helped the French to get the victory they looked like they might be denied by a well-organised Albania team”.
