Pickford - positioning for the shot that hit the post was very suspect, not sure he had a chance with the follow up

No chance with either. You're seeing what you want to see.

He had absolutely no chance with either, you're looking for desperate reasons to slag him.

Erm -I've just said he had no chance with the follow up - that's hardly slagging him off

Defenders fault for the follow up. Not reacting quick enough.

Why is Stones wearing the shirt???
He thinks he's Bobby Moore but he plays like Bobby Ball!

Tehy've gotta get Pope on.

To not cap him is unacceptable.

Don't want him making his debut in Leeds either

But still the training top???

Might be too close of a game, for risking him.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:01 pm

Pickford has one major flaw and that's his decision making from crosses. He's not really had a cross to deal with today so Southgate has learned nothing from today

Sterling should not play again for England. We don't want cheats - especially those who aren't even that good at it!

Will it happen? No! Sad really

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:04 pm

For anyone with expectations of England going a long way in the World Cup, this performance should give you a reality check!

yorkyclaret · Post by **yorkyclaret** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:06 pm

Sending off, 3 match ban and a penalty to the other side would soon stop the divers.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:08 pm

An average performance. Although we often seem to be pretty crap against poor opposition.

I feel like a domestic violence victim who keeps going back when it comes to the England team...

"It'll be different this time. They've changed. It'll be much better"

Needless to say it won't!

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:13 pm

Yawn!

Sterling cheating in an England shirt... what does that say about the country?

Wellbeck...showed all his pace....lost 5 yards over 10 twice! Clodhopper now. Pity. He was good once.

I think we'll make the Quarter-Finals, purely because of our group and who we'll face if we qualify for the final 16.

Not because of our performances.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:15 pm

I just don't think we are very good, can managers really suck that much energy and flair from all these players?
Loftus -Cheek looked like a poor Martin Paterson.

The team just looked so, so poor.

( admittedly I only saw the last 5 mins if first half, and the 2nd half )

A set play and a GK error, other than that we were none existent in the final 3rd.
God help us against a proper football team like Iceland or better...

Nail on head, what a great way to describe it.

I've come back after not bothering for about 4 years, "Southgate is different, he's picking players on form many have told me.

Looks very much the same to me, just with crapper players who try and cheat their way to victories.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:20 pm

I think it's more about supporting England, rather than thinking they'll do well and enjoying the football. I just do it to get behind them and hope they surprise me.

taio · Post by **taio** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:22 pm

I don't think many people think it is going to be better this time. The opposite in fact - people have considerably lowered their expectations as the quality of the squad as deteriorated.

Antmass · Post by **Antmass** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:24 pm

That was awful. It's a team of middle-weight boxers. They look good and they can run but I'm afraid they ain't no footballers.

South West Claret. · Post by **South West Claret.** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:25 pm

So after today’s lacklustre performance can we all agree that England will not repeat not win the WK?
