Smalling and Shaw are both looking like accomplished top level defenders.
 
Looking at Enlgand team and their options, the defense is OK. Clyne is solid, Shaw is showing his talent and can go on to become a great player, Smalling/Cahill/Jones/Stones are good CB options. Forward 3 with Rooney/Kane/Sterling/Sturridge/Welbeck/Ox as options are not bad either. It is midfield which looks uninspiring and boring and might prevent England from being contenders. When all fit, I think Carrick-Henderson-Barkley is their best midfield 3 which is nothing great when they will come up against better teams. The other options like Milner/Shelvey/Delph are not much to get excited about either.
 
Why is Rooney playing so deep?

Just get yourself in the box. If he doesn't break the record soon it's going to become a psychological issue.

Wilshere
 
Christ I hope we go for kane either january or next summer. End of the day he is the real deal. Spurs have been terrible and messi would do no better for them. Certainly shouldnt be used against him. We are going to struggle for goals this season relying on Rooney and a very raw youngster in Martial.
 
England need to find some quality passers to put into midfield before the Euro '16 comes round, because this side is dreadfully predictable and devoid or creativity.

I bet Woy is going to be desperate to take Carrick as the realisation of how bad England's midfielders are finally hits home during the experimental games leading up to the tournament.
