I seem to remember people saying Slovakia were going to win the group. England were going to be thrashed in every game. Under those circumstances we seemed to have done alright.

oh dear

Typical Hodgson performance. The mentality is don't lose hence all the sideways passing and unwillingness to go forward too much.

Can't see the team getting to the quarters if we draw Portugal.

I really just hope England next manager is a winner and not someone who is afraid to lose.

Change the scratched record Woy you twat

Genuinely I'm not a violent man. But when I see and hear this stuff from Woy, I'd like to slap him in the face.

Also Henderson's performance shows just why he is rated as one of Europe's best midfielders, to the extent that a league title winner couldn't even get in the squad.

 

Some of his passing today was sublime. Only bettered by Rooney's mazy runs, taking the total of players he has skinned in the last 10 years to a whopping zero.

I still think Vardy looks inhibited with England, he doesn't seem as confident and outgoing on the pitch as he does with us. There was a few times where he was on the last man and I was expecting him to move and someone to knock it over the top. He didn't seem to be looking for it or, more likely, expecting it though.

I think we lacked that killer edge that teams like France have had to squeeze past teams like Albania and Romania. We'll probably look more impressive when we play teams that feel like leaving their third of the pitch.

100%.

And Roy needs to either play to players strengths, or not take them. And have a plan b. We don't have one.

I feel embarrassed that finners Wales are top of the group. That guy must be tossing himself silly at the mo!!!

And deservedly so.

I don't know why i go on reddit anymore. They're switching between criticising vardy and claiming that slovakia made the game boring and we were robbed. There was no reason why we shouldn't have won that game.

Outperformed expectations, what's the problem?

 

The problem is, Webbo, that expectations should be a lot higher.

 

Expectations are low because people have seen the squad selection, friendlies and qualifiers and know they should expect shambolic underachievement.

Please would someone tell me what on earth Henderson adds to this team? One decent run but mostly  he was terrible, slowed the game down all the time, mainly passed it to them or simply kicked it our of play.

 

We moved the ball too slowly, had virtually no width in the second half, our passing was sloppy and the movement off the ball too infrequent and too slow. NO variety and very little quality. Slovakia were so negative. A typical example of all that is so dull about international football. Players on both sides attempting to pass it to their own side but simply kicking it out of play.

 

At least England have got lucky in their next opponents,  which will be the runner up in by far the worst group.

What? Henderson for me was rubbish... we did well but just lacked cutting edge, and you just wonder where that is coming from, had Vardy scored this game would have been an onslaught. But Slovakia decided to hold on to third place and never got out their own box. We do need to improve in terms of finding that final ball, it was lacking today.

Not sure they have,

 

This team, these players, barring one or two isn't bad, used in the right way and as I say one or two exceptions/replacements I think they could go far.

 

It's the manager and his style that let's it all down and that is where they underperform. That is why expectations are low.

Based on how England have performed in the tournament thus far, no-one can say that they deserved to qualify.

Hahahahaha what does that even mean. We've got 5 points, unbeaten, how is that not deserving to qualify?

I don't get how some people before the tournament were saying that we'll be out in the group stage and we will do nothing, now suddenly horrified we didn't win every game...
