Guest Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 When we scored we should have brought on vardy to exploit space and tired legs. Instead we tried to shut up shop. Daft. There was no space to exploit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldeniro Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Because Andrew keeps posting mythical info about Vardy being able to exploit pace against a Russian back line that hasn't increased since the first second or for the anti-English posting from you before...one of those maybe? Think I'll stay on. no, because you're behaving like a child who's had enough internet for one day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Albrighton Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hodgson will always be the cautious safety first manager wont he? Russia there for the taking for pretty much the entire game and yet he persisted with Sterling who everyone with even the slightest but of ****ing sight could see was not working and then he brings on Milner and Wilshere to presumably close out the game which is laughable in itself. Imagine being Vardy or Rashford after the last few months those two have had and having to sit on the bench watching some of those guys picked before you.

SpillBlood Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Said we were going to concede in added time, we went so deep. He's just being typical Woy. Though I thought we played well in the first half I just have questions. Why did he bring Rooney off? There was absolutely no need. There were players doing alot worse that needed to come off. How does Sterling start or even stay on that late? He's absolutely terrible. Why wasn't Vardy brought on at all? Kane was poor in the second half. Why does Kane take corners? Why do we pass back to Joe Hart so often when his distribution is so poor? Why did the ITV commentary think we played so well considering our goal came from a freekick and we weren't really making good chances? Typical England. Bit peeved myself.

sebsy Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 What a typically frustrating night that was. Overall by far the better team, just kept hitting everything at the keeper. We score from a freekick and looks like we'll get the win the performance deserves, then let in a soft goal late on. Sterling was absolutely woeful. Just so poor. I watch him and genuinely wonder how he has played for Liverpool and City and is a starter for England. Looked like a competition winner tonight. Hart really not that good either, just nowhere near good enough but he is supposedly the best we have, which says a lot. Still, a point is better than nothing, and we should still be progressing from this group comfortably enough. If we don't then we'll thoroughly deserve to go home.

ajw10 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hodgson has been largely good for England but he makes bad decisions in tournaments. Kane was woeful and shouldn't be on set pieces. He took every corner and stayed on for 90 minutes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noikeee Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 You guys were pretty damn unlucky there.

skybluedave Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Great, this is a new type of England side. Play quite well and still mess it up and get knocked out early. I hate football.

Rebs Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 England played well, whether we have it in us to beat Wales and Slovakia will only be seen in the matches coming up...we certainly don't scream consistency and confidence...but we are at least exciting. Drab result tonight...but compared to previous England tournament performances I'm happy...Thursday is going to be huge...need at least a draw...really a win...but it should be a great, tense match.

Slovakia are better too. Neither will allow England to play like this They dominated possession but did they really create much? Any time they were close to being in they either messed up the pass or Kane was offside. They were much, much better than Russia but that was because Russia was awful.

Most teams shut up shop in the last 10 mins when they have the lead and play on the counter which is what England were doing.

IMT Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Feels like a loss to be honest, beggars belief that Hodgson thinks we're capable of defending a one goal lead when history shows the opposite.
