He has shown some very quick feet it's just when the spherical leathery thing becomes involved in the equation that he struggles

 

 

 

his final touch and decision making isn’t good enough atm. Hopefully he’ll make an impact soon

Hope not, he's probably our most naturally gifted player next to Kane.

 

I do wonder how the media attacking him over tatoogate has affected him though.

Yeah good point. I’d like to think he was mentally tough enough to deal with that but he’s still young I suppose

How?  How many through balls or balls over the top are we putting in?

On an unrelated note, even if you win nothing else, Kane, Maguire, Lingard,and Pickford must surely guarantee you're the ugliest team in the tournament. 

Imagine the mismatch we'd have it we'd have lined up Huth and Maguire behind Iborra and Silva. Models for CMs, big ugly ****ers at CB 

[LestaAl]

We keep giving it away cheaply

Yeah sorry, I overlooked the enormous contribution of Kyle Walker. 

Trippier is a good looking dude (apparently) so brings our average up a bit 

[Sir Shep]

Sterling again, I so want him to do well but his feet just seem to go fuzzy whenever he dons the England shirt. 

[Phube]

What the hell has happened to the annoying, aggressive, goal scoring midfielder who plays for Spurs?

[ARM1968]

Is Stirling Shagiri in disguise. He’s bobbins. (This worked last time so bear with me).

Would love to see Vardy play but he needs service. His pressing and running the channels would cause problems for Colombia’s defence but to use Vardy effectively he needs service! This team has no creativity and can’t create opportunity from open play.

Not one of them can hold a candle to Bale.

At least he's getting in positions to lose the ball. Alli is non-existant.

[josh_baskin]

Genuinely think sterling believes he’s got the ability of messi and ronaldo

So have Colombia tbf. For all the talk of how quick the game is, has either side had more than a long range chancer?

He's still annoying

[yorkie1999]

What happens if Kane doesn’t score?

Missed a crucial penalty on Sunday and Denmark went out.

If there's no one making the runs the balls won't be played. The space is still there

He plays more like a striker for Spurs, but for England he’s being asked to play as a box to box CM of sorts. Bit stupid of us to play with only one natural CM tbh.

[Vacamion]

 

How was Maguire 20 metres ahead of Alli on that break.

 

Alli distinctly underwhelming.

 

You expect Sterling to be mercurial, but Alli is not demonstrating that he’s fully fit.

[kingfox]

Matthaus sitting next to England's best ever centre back, Wes Brown.

[ozleicester]

soft free kick there

[oxtonfox]

Where's Beckham when you need him?

Oh ah he's no looker for sure, the jug handles on that boy. 

 

Harry Kane can hold a candle to anyone mind. I mean he shouldn't, he'll melt more, but yanno.

You’re Welsh.
