A good all round performance.
Welbeck was outstanding. Sterling is a constant threat (nearly as good as Antonio). Rooney was better. Cahill led the defence well.
Hodgson has a tough selection issue eventually up front where Sturridge is our best player & Wellbeck is quality. Sterling looks best just behind the front two so where does Rooney fit in?
The next game is San Marino so he can play 235 (Pei's standard formation) & go for goals but eventually he will have to solve the problem up front. Sturridge & Sterling are the players to build the team round.
The midfield isn't that strong yet but Henderson is solid & Delph looks promising.
Jones has looked more the part in the last two games & Cahill has taken over the John Terry leader role at the back (& he is an Owl).

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
