Think Sterling needs to play on the right tbh. Delivery is constantly terrible with his left foot when he beats his man on the outside, and he does fvck all whenever he cuts inside. Let him beat his man and smash is across the face of goal please Woy

I think he needs to play left back. Left back at the team hotel.

He never beats his man, he just runs into him.

Look we should beat Wales if we play to our strengths and then we'll be through.

We are quite able to beat Slovakia. Will we?

Least we didn't lose.

Putting sterling on the right won't improve his final ball will it, he may get one actually in the box but like facecloth says he can barely beat his man.

The worst thing is though is that we don't have any backup on the wing, that's why he shouldn't be in the job.

Webbo and ScouseFox happy with mediocrity when it's obvious we have the ability to be so much better if not for a dick of a manager. just get on with it...no bloody way when the potential is so much higher. You can sit back and accept Roy is doing his best but not me.

I like most on here want England to win and just because I feel this manager is not capable doesn't make me any less of a supporter.

I don't think anyone really likes Roy or wants him to stay on after this tournament. I know i certainly don't. But it's the ott knee jerk bollocks and negativity after a pretty decent performance that's embarrassing. Coming on here after the game last night you really would've thought we got spanked.

Think we really miss Welbeck too. Didn't appreciate how big a miss he'd be back when he got injured.

we're not happy with mediocrity. but what are we meant to do about it? cry? cheer for russia? post angry comments online? 

 

we're english, we could get dicked 17-0 or we could win the world cup and we'll still be english so we'll stil support england. 

 

 

there are a lot of positives to take from last night's game, we were unlucky not to win, yet people are only bothered about a) being happy we didn't win (freaks) or b) focusing on the negatives because they don't actually want england to win.

I don't think it knee jerk when we were awful two years ago too at the World Cup. I've never been impressed with England under Hodgson.

It is pretty weird to want England to lose for any reason. I hate Roy but I'd like nothing more than to see us win the World Cup under him or anyone for that matter.

I see you replied to that but not me lol

I support England but as my message above, doesn't mean I have to be happy with the shambles Hodgson brings.

Where's all this not wanting England to win shit coming from? Just because we're not happy with the manager and we're voicing that doesn't mean we want them to lose. Talk about putting words in people's mouths.

People admitted to cheering the equalising goal which would suggest they didn't want England to win.

Hadn't seen them post. But the post in the last few hours have been from me, Matt and Foxfanzer, and we didn't say that, but people keep ignoring our points and going back to that.

Look back between pages 25 and 32 around the time the goal went in.

We're on page 43 now. We're talking about completely different things.

I was ****ing furious so I certainly wasn't cheering when they scored. Can't criticise a useless old twat of a manager else you're not a 'proper fan'.

Hodgson does deserve criticism as despite getting it spot on with the system, he decided to protect the lead against a team who were rarely causing us problems when he should've killed it.. Think the line up should be the sameish for Wales, with Vardy in for Kane(lol like that will happen), maybe Wilshere for Alli as well.

That is how you protect a lead you attack ...

A few pundits before the tournament said the same thing as what most people say. Our defence is not the best so we really need to look at scoring at least 2 goals a game as we are always open to concede. We take the lead against Russia and go defensive knowing Russia had to attack it was crying out for us to kill the game and get the 2nd goal. Whether that was Vardy Sturridge or Rashford.  

 

Fair play to Rooney I thought he played really well in Midfield. A gamble that paid off (well sort of as we didn't win)

 

First half I thought we looked decent but ultimately dominated because Russia were poor. People saying the tactics were 'spot on'. How on earth were they spot on if Kane was so ineffective.

 

Also do people have any idea why Kane is taking corners? I can only guess that its due to him not wanting to head the ball after he had to wear that mask. Sounds a ridiculous reason but I cant think of any other reason why. Can anyone enlighten me on that?

 

I was so pissed off after the game but I have calmed down a little now. There were positives to take from the game. Thought Rose and Walker benefitted well from Rooneys passing. Dier played really well and his free kick was brilliant.

 

Ultimately though I cant stand Hodgson and his negative defensive mindset when it comes to seeing games out.

 

If he continues with Kane then for me he should either give him a partner or go 4-2-3-1 which Kane is used to playing for Spurs.

 

I fear now for the Wales game. They will have no fear and no pressure after their win. Still cant wait for the game though

Add me to the list of people who can't figure out why pundits seemed so delighted with Saturday's performance. This was the typical England group game against a defensive side. Have all of the ball but fail to unlock the defense. Whats the point in having posession for so long if your centre forward doesn't get a touch in the box? England always have posession of the ball against these kind of teams, it is against the better sides they struggle and we clearly have no plan B (again) for when do.

 

I thought Rooney played well although I do worry about him when playing a side who bothers to close him down, and I really like Lallana since Klopp turned up and I thought he worked well for the team. Dier did his job in CM but once again the defence let us down. They barely had anything to do and still messed it up.

 

Sterling and Kane were particularly useless but wasn't impressed with Alli and Wilshire either.

 

Wales game should suit us as you would expect it to be more like a Premier League game. However, if England stick with playing Hodgson's negative version of posession football Wales could hurt us with a geniune superstar on the counter. We'll probably meet similar resistance as Russia against Slovakia too.

 

I really can't wait for the end of Hodgson's tenure and I can't understand how he has been treated so kindly (for an England manager) by the press. There isn't an obvious replacement out there but I think we need a change. Barton was spot on when he called him an 'Energy Vampire'. Amazing that such a youthful team could play so slowly.
