What's the point of Jack!


After England's opening game victory against an average europeon side in Switzerland, like myself
many pundits and supporters were perplexed at the decision made, by England manager Roy Hodgson to play Jack Wilshere in the holding role, of a midfield diamond, what a waste of attacking talent! Jack's ability to run and dribble, should make him a certainty to start in an attacking position. How many player's are there out there with the dribbling ability that Jack posesses?
Even playing Stirling at the top of the diamond is a no no for me, it's easier for any team to close spaces down in central area's, Stirling found himself most of the game, back to goal, receiving the ball, playing simple passes back again! Look at the world cup and how difficult it was for Messi, to make any impact in the game, from central area's in the final third. Stirling would be far better attacking from wide area's, using his skill and pace, getting behind the opposition. Having him, Jack and Oxlade-Chamberlain running beyond Rooney, who's football brain is second to none, these four player's in my opinion are a cut above the rest, purely for their intelligence shown on a football pitch. And while I am still on my soap box, Tom Huddlestone would be a perfect option for the holding role, if that is the system Roy is favouring!

Remember Roy, Sir Alf Ramsey picked players best suitable for the team,

Give Tom a chance!
