We have come a long way since the disaster against Iceland, I actually look forward to watching England these days. GS does seem to moving in the right direction with England. Having pace in Rashford,Vardy and Sterling is a very useful asset and last night showed how difficult it is to defend against.Those Spanish defenders are no mugs but pace did them more than once. I was a bit surprised that Southgate didn’t leave one of them in the centre circle when defending a corner - that’s what Leicester did with Vardy and it meant that the attacking team had to leave at least three defenders in their own half, sometimes four. That said beating Spain on their own turf is a terrific result. Well done England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I’m normally frustrated by England because they play such tentative football, almost like they are scared of losing the ball and will play it backwards. Last night we played posturing counter attacking football, winning the ball and getting into Kane’s feet quickly and then Sterling, Rashford and Barkley running off him was great to see. There also seemed more desire from the players to close down and try to win the ball back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said beating Spain on their own turf is a terrific result. Well done England. We've had this discussion before on here many times RR. One thing that defenders of all levels hate, (whether it's the World Cup or sunday league) are fast attackers. Robben in the 2014 World Cup made a mockery of Spain's defence in that 5-1 match. The last goal where he gave Ramos and Alba (no slouch himself) a 15 yard head start and still managed to get there first and run it around he and Casillas and score is one of my favourite World Cup goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Great result. First half England were fantastic Second half they were very lucky not to end up losing. If GS can find a way to keep up the style they showed in the first half we may become capable of winning something. However we still very nearly threw it away by reverting to 10 men behind the ball.

In fairness it was obvious the second half would be a lot different. We got pushed back we didn't sit 10 men behind the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's another aspect- we were excellent first half, but 3 shots on target, 3 goals- that doesn't happen often at all. Fantastic finishing and we put the moves together well (starting with Pickford from the back) (seen the goals now) but 3 shots on target, 3 goals- very rare! We went deeper yes- but truth is/was we were pushed deeper, was certainly a part of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I'm looking forward to seeing more of Gomez in defence and particularly Jadon Sancho, my BvB supporting friends rave about him and he's only 18. For the first time in many years, there is a real positivity about our national side and it's good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Strange game - I had the thought that someone had sneaked into the changing rooms and swapped the kit over. Take the W of course and look forward to the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 This is simply incredible, as others have said up above, watching England is now a beautiful pleasure again and not a forgettable chore. Gareth Southgate is turning into a fantastic England manager, could he win us a trophy? Back to last night, bloody shame Sky had the rights to these games.
