We are awful, I honestly think we'll struggle to get out of the group. Hodgson and his insistence on 442 with no plan and no style, trying to fluke goals whilst being wide open to good attacking sides is going to kill us.

Really? :D

It's a friendly. Against a very strong team. We've not shown anything particularly great but we're far from awful.

Yes really. It's a friendly but what's the plan? What's our style of play? Are we going to rely on defensive mistakes to score our goals in the tournament? This 442 doesn't work with this set of players.

Agree, what do people expect? We are trying to set up as a well organised team who can play on the break, it's the only chance we have of getting out if the group in the Euros. The players are doing their jobs. We a slightly better than Ireland ffs not like we are Spain.

To the people saying England are awful. What did you expect? Flowing football? The squad is mediocre. It has little to do with Hodgeson

Indeed, we're actually well set up and have done well enough so far. If we don't have attack after attack though people say the usual rubbish.

We've looked solid, if not great. We're underperforming in centre midfield but other than that we've been marginally the better side against a very good team.

Try getting behind the team. Would have thought you'd be used to seeing poor displays at Rovers ;).

In fact, what did you expect? Us to be 4-0 up by now? I can't imagine even the fans of Spain or Netherlands getting on the back of a team that's beating Belgium 1-0 tbh.
