Ox-chamberlain so poor. Given it away every time

Tripps is so good going forward

Trippier has looked like a Burnley full back. Excellent!

Ffs. Good save again but parried in exact same spot.

2-1 France after a stunning save from Heaton

Tom let down by his defence again after another good save

Stones shouldve done better. Fell for that hook line snd sinker.

Not toms fault.

Poor defending

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 8:49 pm

chamberlain way out of his depth , people keep going on about stones potential.. he needs to learn to defend first

Great save. Done nothing wrong there Tom. You can't 'parry' that anywhere. Just get something on it.

He isn't going to hold onto them from that range.

they're going across the box so easily, it's a ******* joke

First one possibly put round post. Second one probably not a great deal. Just an observation.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 8:52 pm

I doubt Hart would have saved either of those.

France are way ahead of shitty England

boyyanno · Post by **boyyanno** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 8:52 pm

First goal he should have probably touched round the post. Second one was a very very good save, let down by the defence.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 8:53 pm

Defending awful. Heaton left as a one man defence. All to no avail as French covering all angles for any save the keeper makes. Heard did well but left high and dry by the rubbish in front of him.

I always thought it was not always easy to push it to the side

it was easy when they didn't wear gloves.Angled hand, strong wrists. Now they play with pillows on their mitts this is happening every week for all standards of keepers.

I've always wondered why keepers gloves are so big?!

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 8:58 pm

With Theresa May in attendance the England defence was bound to be weak and wobbly.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:01 pm

Stones and Jones are clueless and it's interesting to watch an Arsenal right winger, who can't get in their team, playing in a key role in central midfield. Also, is Dier International class? I think not. Trips playing okay, Tom has no chance with that defensive garbage in front of him.

Wile E Coyote · Post by **Wile E Coyote** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:02 pm

Dixon unecessarily faulting heaton, and having a real dig, then brings Hart into it just because dixon and hart are mates. idiot.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:03 pm

Lee Dixon is very good with his analysis, although saying that Chamberlain doesn't
know what he is doing was stating the bleeding obvious. As others have said, I wasn't aware
he was even playing for quite a while.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:03 pm

says it all that Tripps has been our best attacking player !
I honestly think Michael Keane will walk into this England team and comfortably keep his place.
Stones in midfield

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:04 pm

Think Heaton could have done better with the first, second one he had no chance. Needs Keano.

Too be fair. If that was Hart playing he'd be getting roasted on here.

Woodleyclaret · Post by **Woodleyclaret** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:05 pm

We've had some crap refs this season but this clown beats them hands down in the incompetent stakes.
The French are shirt pulling and swinging on players for fun and are getting free kicks.
But sorry Tripp is getting exposed and failed to mark the second goal scorer

Culmclaret · Post by **Culmclaret** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:05 pm

Dixon is a plank. Not only was Heaton totally exposed for the initial strikes but no England player was anywhere near stopping the follow up for either goal. Heaton did what could have been reasonably expected of him. That defence is tripe.

bumba · Post by **bumba** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:06 pm

Sterling, trippier and Bertrand are the only ones who look likely to cause France any problems. Dier is seriously bad, Ox found wanting, Kane not done much, Alli has been terrible.
France have movement all over going forward, we lump it up an there's possibly two england players attacking were sh1te

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:13 pm

What's the point of the red? It's a friendly and the last game for a few months. It ruins the game.

Kane not done much

2 chances, 2 goals, zero service since the first goal - what exactly are we expecting him to do ?

Wile E Coyote · Post by **Wile E Coyote** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:15 pm

heaton reacted incredibly quickly, hes facing top notch talent and saved from very close range, the idea he might have pushed it "a little wider" is stupid. balls travelling about 80mph from about 5 yards, the defence around him was woeful.

Culmclaret · Post by **Culmclaret** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:15 pm

I'd have sent the three off who were in the refs face whilst he was listening to the analysis of the video evidence. That just cannot be allowed.

Standing in goal doing nowt for 45 mins isn't going to impress anyone. Heaton made 2 very good saves and one he "may" have done better with but it was still a very good save. I don't think Tom did himself any harm today but we all now it will be Hart, Butland and Pickford going to Russia

Ali been running around the ball all night - embarrassing.
