Were England fans right to boo Wayne Rooney or does he deserve more respect?
Jack Beardwell: He deserves respect, Lampard and Gerrard played much later but were natural midfielders who were still contributing at 34+
Ian Shepherd: Rooney needs to decide if he wants to carry on and tarnish his legacy as the greatest England goalscorer. I'd keep him in the squad.
Rory Forrest: Striker to midfielder? Who else has done it? Shearer? Lineker? Owen? Wright? Nope! Rooney's selection makes NO sense!
football Rooney to start as substitute versus Sloveniapublished at 12:52 British Summer Time 10 October 2016
BreakingSlovenia v England (Tuesday, 19:45 BST)
Simon Stone
BBC SportEngland captain Wayne Rooney is set to start tomorrow’s World Cup qualifier against Slovenia on the bench.
Barring any last minute injuries forcing a change of heart, manager Gareth Southgate will leave Rooney on the bench as England look to preserve their 100% record.
Southgate is due to give a press conference in Slovenia at 1830 BST this evening.
Rooney is England’s most-capped outfield player, making his 117th international appearance in the 2-0 win against Malta on Saturday.
However, his performances recently have been heavily criticised and the 30-year-old was booed by sections of the Wembley crowd at the weekend, when he operated in a deep-lying midfield role.

Lewis Hamilton may not want to explain his actions to the media any more - but Mercedes will want every little detail, writes Andrew Benson.
Here is a little extract - Perhaps this will tempt you into reading more...
They say that an elite sportsman should clear his mind of unnecessary distractions - Sir Jackie Stewart calls it mind-management. Hamilton, though, was not taking that approach in Japan.
There have been questions about how Hamilton handled the Singapore weekend where he was dominated by Rosberg two races ago, with it leaking out that he was "not really on it" there.

The 25-year-old Test batsman was hit by a blow to the neck during a domestic match in Sydney on 25 November 2014.
He died two days later from a haemorrhage in the brain, spurring an unprecedented display of grief from Australia and around the world.
The five-day hearing is examining if his death was avoidable.

Were England fans right to boo Wayne Rooney or does he deserve more respect?
Image source, Getty ImagesAndrew Harvey: Fans shouldn't boo their own players, but we need a manager with the guts to say: "he's not what we need right now"
James Gibbins: Fans have the right to boo as they've paid their money for the privilege. Didn't see the whole game so can't comment on Rooney.
Paul Walsh: How else do fans let the management know they are unhappy with playing the wrong player for that position?
Paul - May we suggest writing a polite-yet-strongly-worded letter? We feel that would be the most British way to deal with it....

Were England fans right to boo Wayne Rooney or does he deserve more respect?
Matthew Grayson: Rooney should be in the holding role. Holding the water, holding the bibs and holding down the bench.
Matt Flecknoe: Rooney didn't become our record goalscorer by playing in midfield, so play him as a 9 or 10.
Alex Chetwood: However bad he played, you can never justify booing own your own player, especially the captain.

Rugby union
Image source, Getty ImagesExeter head coach Rob Baxter has criticised the England set-up for overloading winger Jack Nowell.
The 23-year-old suffered a significant tear in his quad and is likely to miss the autumn internationals having become the latest player to get hurt during England's training camp in Brighton.
Wasps' Sam Jones broke his leg while Bath's Anthony broke his jaw.
"He was loaded pretty heavily on Monday, far heavier than we would have loaded him with his training," said Baxter.
