He depends on playing at pace to beat defenders , as soon as he is forced to slow down he has to pass sideways.  

I get that, but take that Kane ball to him then. His touch and use of the ball wasn't that of an international winger. Shite. 

[Verbal]

Oh boy

Yep, shit touch then had to track back

F'cking hell, good finish, Spence sucked in, shite defending

[Window Cleaner]

Well that's not good .....

[bpsaint]

Lolz. Typical England.

[obelisk]

Just I expected. England just not up to this. Defence is a shambles. 0-1.

[SNSUN]

Hate the squad, hate the defence and now one down. Ffs

[Toussaint]

I hate England 

[64saint]

What a surprise, our defense all over the place 🙁

[BotleySaint]

England nowhere near the ball currently. Could get embarrassing. 

[Disco Stu]

Crazy that the best goalkeeper this country has is Pickford.

[Toussaint]

Coontz

[Toussaint]

So many average players 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Uh oh

Acres of space. Just after the tators were bigging England up, saying DRC would give them lots of space.

DRC with plenty of decent experience, so can't be taken lightly

[vectraman]

Where were the CBs? Spencer had to come inside to cover and left the right completely free 🤦‍♂️.

Pickford doing a Baz. 

[LeBizzier69]

Might make a few quid after all….

[CB Fry]

Maybe the Gareth Southgate era was not quite as bad as some like to make out.

He's gone and we're back to the same old shit we had under Hodgson/McClaren/Keegan/whoever. 

[Gloucester Saint]

Given all of the BBC coverage on Jordan Pickford, you just knew that was going to happen. Crap defending but that’s poor at your near post at Championship level let alone WC knock out.

Many good players but a total lack of desire and cohesion. No team.

Yeah, although the CB's were in a poor position. That was a defensive/GK disaster. 

[Osvaldorama]

FFS 🤣🤣

There are a lot of good players, but there are also a lot who haven’t shone at club level. 

[die Mannyschaft]

Can you believe it. 

[egg]

Our players look clueless out there. Zero movement.

All that bollocks before kick off and first five minutes about how it feels different etc 😂

I enjoyed our euro 24 campaign a ton more than I've enjoyed this world cup campaign.

Yes I can 

[Osvaldorama]

Madueke and Spence are so poor. 
 

Do not understand why it’s not Bowen/Trent. Both are so much better 

[Turkish]

Fucking brainless foul from Madueke, FFS

[Toussaint]

The crosses !!

isnt Tuchel banging Alexander Arnolds ex?

[die Mannyschaft]

What is the problem with England pass pass triangles then back and side. Do something creative and direct, move forward. Best players in world in England team but little creative play. 

People moan about Russell Martin but fucking hell manager has adopted his tactics very well so far.

[adrian lord]

Trying to watch on phone in a train. Mercifully, I can’t get any streaming-useable  signal. 
 

 

[BotleySaint]

Great reaponse from England... everyone just jogging around slowly.

So many choices that can be criticised but the two glaring errors are no Palmer and over reliance on injury prone, already half fit Saka.

[egg]

I'm trying to work out which of our back 4 is the worst. 

Absolute shit show out there. 

[Gloucester Saint]

Stupid booking for Bellingham.

[AlexLaw76]

Madueke is shite and Spence is a mess

all self inflicted

Martinball again ole ole

[obelisk]

Ludicrous fannying around in defence. Not even up to Russell Martin standard. Shambles.

[CB Fry]

0-2 feels more likely than an equaliser.

[SNSUN]

This is embarrassing. At least we get to watch a good team next season. 

[Doctoroncall]

Nice to see England play as eleven individuals again.

This is were spying is useful. Have the players not watched any WC games of other teams playing low block and fast burst of attacks 

[adrian lord]

This has the hallmarks of a meltdown at the moment 

[Turkish]

Absolute utter shite. 

Fucking ball rolls under Rashfords foot, sloppy, shit

[Disco Stu]

Boooo

[CB Fry]

Come on boys step it up for the second quarter 

[obelisk]

The hydration break brings forth a chorus of derision.
