whoareyaaa Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 We've got lucky with that win in the end even though it should have been over within the first 30 minutes, ref was shite they made it hard and second half we hardly created anything clinical. Overall we have got the 3 points which is the main thing but it was close to turning to shit.. Vardy should be in there full stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, England! Done a bit of a Denmark here. Other than that, Sterling, Lingard, Alli, Walker, Rashford all (major) disappointments. Except England did a Peru with marginally better finishing. Besides, you make it sound like it's a bad thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 I thought we played really well tonight. Bin off Sterling and bring in Rose for Young and we're cooking on gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 I'm relaxed, this team will shit house all day long if it needs to. I hope to see underperformers replaced if needs be, but it's the first game let's not let past experiences cloud things. Players places under scrutiny are Sterling, Lingard and Alli. Thankfully we have Rashford, Loftus-Cheek and hopefully Vardy who could be given the opportunity to stake a claim. Southgate must make sure he's a quick and unflustered thinker as the rest of this side picks itself and can and will do fairly well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 Mixed emotions tonight. On chances created we deserve the win but we play with so much naivety that we nearly drew to a very average side Kane will obviously get the plaudits despite doing nothing for the majority of the game. Mixed bag for Maguire but he popped up with the assist at the end and could’ve set up 3 or 4 more if our finishing wasn’t so abysmal. Hopeful we sharpen up as the tournament progresses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm furious that the likes of Alli never passing to him is ignored and I hoped to see at least a cameo from Vardy tonight but nope... 2nd highest scoring English player in the PL and proven as a better finisher than Lingard and Sterling!?? It'll be criminal if he doesn't get on the pitch this World Cup and still criminal if he is only brought on in the knock out stages as a last resort which it probably would be knowing Southgate.

The Doctor Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 10 minutes ago, Koke said: I know it's fashionable to be down on England but I thought overall it was a good display. They created lots of chances and kept the ball moving. Only criticsm is the over reliance on Kane for goals. Sterling, Lingard and Alli need to contribute with goals. It was good except in the final third. Incredibly wasteful, and had Kane not scored Southgate would have been entirely to blame for persisting with Alli, Lingard and Sterling, all whom were poor in that final third, for so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTY_FOX Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 Thought we actually played quite well. I'd drop lingard and Henderson in place of loftus-cheek and dier personally but thought on the whole we played well. Chuffed for Maguire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 (edited) Great performance by the three lions, lot more positives than negatives. First half we were total control and should have been 2 or 3 up! but some poor finishing and dodgy refereeing let us down. Second half dominated again, but I dunno lacked the spark in the second half seem to run out of steam but just in the nick of time, Kane gives us a well deserved winner set up by our very own Harry Maguire. Good coverage from the BBC yep they praised Kane for his goals but didn't go over the top with it like ITV would have, they highlighted everybody.

Tielemans63 Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 (edited) I know he didn't score but IMHO Lingard played pretty well - thought Alli made some great runs but was slowed by his injury. I thought Sterling was crap as usual, he just falls to pieces when he pulls on the England shirt. Hope Southgate has a look at (preferably) Vardy or Rashford as they're both better players right now.
