Watching England is like watching Burnley

Neither will get a penalty decision given for them

Did the same thing in the friendly.

If I was GS I'd be pondering which of Lingard or Sterling to hook first

Has Southgate got a Pandora bracelet on??

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:18 pm

Get Rashford on

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:18 pm

Get Young off for Rose.

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:19 pm

Hendersons passings been excellent

Taffy on the wing · Post by **Taffy on the wing** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:19 pm

After a promising start...Henderson has reverted to type! Get him off.

Of course it was - do you do a joke “chalky” white voice as well?

The problem is we need to make 3-4 changes.

Trippier having a blinder. Sterling playing like he's blind

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:20 pm

Rashford, Vardy and Loftus Cheek for Young, Lingaard and Alli.

taio · Post by **taio** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:21 pm

Vardy and Rashford need to come on soon.

Not sure what you're talking about but you said the word ''white'' so you're officially a racist

mdd2 · Post by **mdd2** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:22 pm

A good performance from Tripps but some awful ones too. Maguire, Sterling Lingard and if Alli is injured get him off.
All the makings of the usual England games

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:23 pm

Wow. No energy to fill the box at all.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:23 pm

Sterling, Young, Alli, Maguire have been terrible

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:23 pm

Jesus!!! This is annoying.

Yet again Sterlings decision making is atrocious.

Vardy, Rashford and Delph sooner than later. Please

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:25 pm

Rashford for Sterling
Rose for Young

please

I've watched most or all of every game except the Belgium one... And this is by far the most bored and underwhelmed I've been so far.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:26 pm

I heard earlier there is only 2,000 England fans travelled, not like the English, normally excellent support.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:26 pm

Not quite the same incisiveness this 2nd half so far which is a bit disappointing. Maybe a change or two would freshen things up.

starting_11 · Post by **starting_11** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:27 pm

Oh thank god!!!!

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:27 pm

Good move. Young still on though.

Henderson's passing makes Ray Wilkins' style look like hoofball.

I've seen every single one and I thought what we offered in the first half was comparable to many of the top teams (at least based on the first games of each team so far). It's a shame the 2nd half has seen chances at a premium because the first half was absolutely packed with them.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:28 pm

Why is Trippier shooting from set pieces? The only part of his game I didn't like for us, he used to hit them with dip but they never went in apart from the 1 occasion (although I can't remember who against?)

Good first half. Woeful so far second half - pedestrian, predictable and boring.

What game are you watching? Really !!

Look at how much space we give them.

Get Young off!

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:32 pm

Ashley Young at left back, one footed, slow and predictable

Get Danny Rose on

Longsidebovril · Post by **Longsidebovril** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:32 pm

Young has to go off

There's a lot of lads called Ben in Tunisia

mdd2 · Post by **mdd2** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:33 pm

You have to take your chances when they come and we didn't in the first half; and we now pay for it. Tunisia were down but not out before the penalty. Look at them second half

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:33 pm

The problem England have is all these young lads are bit part players for their clubs and expected to star for England. It’s not happening.

tim_noone wrote:What game are you watching? Really !!

Note I mentioned the 1st half - not the 2nd. I was very, very happy with our performance in the 1st half but the 2nd has seen us create less chances unfortunately.

And in answer to your question, I'm watching every single World Cup game - so I should know!

We've seen some of the real favourites stutter in the opening games - losing, drawing and missing plenty of chances in the process. Not much different here. Our attacking play in the first half (minus the finishing) was very good.

Comms saying the temperature is the same for both teams.
No it’s not, this is a cool day to Tunisians.

Henderson is so crap, backwards sideways just slows the game down everytime he touches the ball

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:36 pm

FK. Rashford please
