Tunisia have been poor so far and don't deserve that. But it was silly from Walker and obviously a penalty.

We will still win tbis. Definitely shouldnt be playing walker at centre half though. Hes not a centre half and openly said hed rather not play there.

How is it that England losing their best players to injury is so predictable? Happens every bloody tournament.

Are you even watching the game? England have been excellent at times and, save for a few very good saves, could have had a few goals.

Yes. And trust me, I have also been a critic of England in recent tournaments. We've put together some very good attacking moves and controlled the game. Just one silly mistake from Walker doesn't take away from that.

Lingard could have had a first half hat-trick,need the killer instinct.

'Excellent" would include the finishing.

Which hasn't been too far above Accy Combination standard.

Your comments just make you come across as a 12-year-old.

Tunisia aren't a bad side. They're strong defensively and decent on the counter. England have underestimated opponents to their own detriment in the past. So yes, I think it's a positive that we're controlling the game against them. I certainly don't think we'll be beating a Brazil or a Spain but I see an improved England side that is working hard and creating some excellent chances.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:49 pm

HT. Minus the penalty Pickford's not had to do anything. We could have had 5 or 6 goals, no exaggeration. Finishing hasn't been great but also some very good saves from the keepers. Keep it up 2nd half and we can win it.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:50 pm

Maguire is all over the place and we can't put the ball in the net, truly incredible stuff, amazing

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:50 pm

Maguire can only be on for winning headers in their box.
Everytime he has the ball at his feet he’s a rabbit in headlights.

Looked ok going forward.
Better finishing, game should have been won - despite comic book defending.

Played well for most of that. But got to be taking some of those clear chances. And should have had a penalty.

For you perhaps, yes.

However, my opinion (and it's only my opinion!) is that we've been excellent. I know we've missed a few very good chances but there have been some top saves to deny us too. Let's see what the 2nd half brings but I'm pretty happy with what I've seen minus the silliness from Walker.

Walker hasn't been much better either, and Stones.
