Wales have strangely had a slight advantage by being a worse team as the opposition comes onto them, leaving space to exploit on the counter. Yep this is the major factor. I am more confident in the knockout stages as we will be afforded more space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Thought we had little chance in truth going in to this. The little chance we did have revolved around Kane, Vardy and Ali being on top form. They are not. We are screwed. Karma also hates me. Laughing my head off at Ronaldo missing his penalty - now I wish he had bloody scored it! Football eh. Still unbeaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing all those waster Liverpool players who have a history of choking will get us nowhere. Henderson should be nowhere near the England team. If we can't even break down Slovakia, we have no hope at this championships. we need a consistent team, bollocks to all the resting, they are playing one game a week. Bollocks to players feelings, the best players should be playing constantly. owl faced**** needs sacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had chances against the poor teams in our group, we managed 1 win in the last minute. It stands to reason the better sides will also get more chances against us. Consider that we dominated all 3 games for near 90 minutes but we only had 1 clean sheet in 3, care to guess what might happen against better attacking teams?

BobbyC Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I know a lot of people don't rate Walcott but he is just the sort of player England needed tonight to run into the box with pace instead of all that tip tap outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all of Wales goals and the amount of space between the midfield and defence which the balls were played through. Slovakia were camped in their half the whole game. Russia did the same for most of the game and so did the Welsh. Every match teams have gone at Wales and left space for them to exploit. Fair play they've taken advantage of it and are deservedly top of the group but you can't ignore England have had a slightly different challenge to them.

We might be able to counter attack those sorts of teams who bring the game to us but our finishing isnt there is it. We got in some good areas enough times but they must have blocked at least a dozen shots. Dont feel roy should get too much blame we had a team capable of winning we were just wasteful. Also just to add was anyone else ******* fuming when we ****** around with the ball in the last seconds instead of hoofing it up the pitch?? It really infuriates me.

This all day long If we were in a group with Germany, Spain and Italy, I'd understand, but we couldn't beat 2 sides that Wales comfortably beat.

TRL Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 That is not the team I watch play Wales live. Hard luck England dominated but could not put the ball away or get the space needed. If the Slovakian side who turned up against the Welsh decided to play the space down the sides would have been immense. England far exceeding my expectations so far even if they are not hitting the net regularly. I'm not understanding the negative comments to be honest. Let's see how the attack and defence performs in knock out mode where teams have to attack occasionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welbeck for me. Walcott doesn't have the quality either. Still think Andros Townsend should have gone. Someone who can run at a defence, with the ball, give and go. We were so so static. There's never any options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I agree with what Slavan said… the attacks were too slow, nobody ran at them in order to create space, draw them out wide on the wings etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
