especially Wayne Rooney. Rooney faces an uncertain future after Mourinho reiterated the fact that he won't be played as a midfielder. With Zlatan Ibrahimovic's arrival, Rooney faces a tough task of making the starting line up every week.
Allardyce said: If a player has a loss of form or loses his place at his club, even if he’s been an England regular, he’s not going to be an automatic selection for the national side. This is because I would be doing myself harm and it doesn’t do the player any favours."
“If they’re in good form and they’re playing great, and they make the selection process very difficult, then I’m very happy about that. I'm very happy if they all challenge me and say: ‘Why are you not picking me? Look at the form I’m in. Why don’t you give me a chance?’“So the door’s open for everybody.”
“Wayne had been playing central midfield for Manchester United for the last ten games. I didn’t think he did too badly. Personally, I thought he was good. What I’d say about Wayne is that he’s a vastly-experienced player now and he’s great at scoring goals. We lost that opportunity for a goalscorer to have scored more goals."
“But before the tournament that didn’t look like it would be a problem, did it? We had looked like a free-scoring international team both in the qualifiers and the friendlies, then we dried up.”
