Seems a good way to get knocked out of the tournament
Alli is playing well in the role he has at the mo so I don't see where people are coming from saying he is playing badly as he is just playing a different role to normal. Sterling on the other hand I agree with you and I would much rather have Rashford playing that role because it makes more sense than having Sterling playing there. 1 substitution can take the place of 2 by moving Rashford to the left and pushing Alli up and bringing Dyer on but with Sterling that is a poor option because he just runs in to nowhere doing nothing other than giving the ball away.

If Sterling reproduces the form he has shown with City he is some player and a game winner but he has not shown it yet in an England shirt so far. Hopefully things might change on Saturday because that is the type of game a player with the skills of Sterling should be relishing.
