I agree about Hart, but think it would be a big gamble to start using Forster now.
I know what you mean about Rashford but having bought him to the Euro's the worst thing we could do for his development is to take him and not use him!
I agree that Ramsey was Wales' best player, good Arsenal stock that one.
BBC have published an article where they claim that Roy is going to rest some players. Their predicted formation is Hart; Clyne, Smalling, Cahill, Bertrand; Henderson, Dier, Wilshere; Lallana, Vardy, Sturridge.
I'm sure Kane and Sterling going to the bench is less to do with resting them as it is dropping them!
I can see why after the shifts that Walker and Rose put in they might need a rest and I do think our other fullbacks are very solid and perhaps better equipped to deal with the threat of Weiss.
I can also see the logic behind not playing both Alli and Rooney as I suspect that might leave us a little exposed to Hamsik but resting both seems risky. I definitely would have started Rooney alongside Henderson or Wilshere and then hope to sub him if we were at a time in the game where we looked secure.
However I did say in my last post that I would attempt to trust Roy's judgement after his subs so whilst I have some reservations I am still fairly confident about tonight's game.
