BRISTOL86 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Rooney fantastic in that half. Lallana and Walker excellent also. Very difficult to play against a team that have no intention of playing themselves. Just got to keep believing that the goal will come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Can't remember the last time I saw England play like this at a tournament. Worried that Russia will regroup during the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to think that he'd have been in behind so often in that half. Maybe give it to an hour or so and see if we are still not able to break through.

robin_unreliant Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Vardy and Sturridge come on second half and we win. Roy is lauded as a genius. Except they should have been in from the start. If we fail in this tournamant it will be down to his poor judgement imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top league striker would have had a brace today on Williams' performance. As for England, how abject. I'll never be convinced as to Kane taking corners either. That's just ridiculous. Any one of those 10 outfield players should be able to drift a ball in to the box. Why Kane needs to I'll never know, and why he would want to I'll never know. Does Kane score with his head? Only asking as that could possibly be a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not going to judge him on this 45 minutes in which the Russians have given him acres of space & hours on the ball. The simple fact it that players should be in the team on merit.

Certainly has; certainly more than Lallana or Sterling as examples of others evenpoorer in the air (not calling Kane poor in the air particularly) yet who ought be adept at floating a ball in 25 yards!!!! Even if Kane did not he would occupy their defence and create space for Cahill, smalling, Rooney etc more than either of those two mentioned. Sorry, but I find Kane on corners wholly inexcusable.

I can't argue that he's not playing well... But he's had a couple of poor passes which everyone seems to not pick up on. Still, let's hope it's more of the same this half. Would still like to see Vardy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame Rooney - it's not his fault. But the in form players should be playing. I'm glad he's doing well tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
