I’d love to see Triggs drafts for this post

I agree with this actually. Especially once Sterling went off. Nothing seems to open up the opposition when he isn't on. But then when he is on, he does waste a lot of opportunities to deliver a final ball or finish. Lingaard and Dele are culpable IMO. Not enough creativity from those two, which is incredibly disappointing. Agree about Lingard and Alli, like. We were great first half even despite them. But then I'm not sure internationally they're actually capable, unfortunately. Rather than they performed poorly. Was also disappointed we didn't try and change formation at any time during this tournament. We struggled with subs desperately because we didn't really have anyone to come on like for like. I think it was crying out for 433 second half. It's so easy to take Sterling off because when he wastes opportunities it can be so glaring. Even I thought he ought to come off at the time. However, once he goes off it becomes glaringly obvious how little Alli and Lingaard are contributing. And then do you begin to realise there's no way they should have both played a full 90, while Sterling went off so early. Sterling did nowt 2nd half like, Croatia sorted their defence out. Rashford was shite oike after his first burst.

They aren’t real man. Absolute machines. Modric wasn't even tired when he walked off. Was the same against Russia too, he’s fucking ridiculous It might sound daft, but it seemed like Croatia's experience of going to extra time helped them rather than hindered them, they seemed to know how to manage it. Aye they seemed to play it well, 2nd half of ET we were completely dead on our feet. They obviously conserved their energy better.

Eh Did you type this up in anticipation of a loss and just posted it anyway?

They aren’t real man. Absolute machines.

On the plus side, had we equalised we’d now be sitting through a Subasic masterclass and be absoulutely fucking ill

Agreed. Easiest World Cup draw they'll ever have, utterly squandered, and they talk about them as though they've been sparkling. Tbf our squad was utter shite We never overachieved but we’re so used to doing poorly, it was nice to have a side looking up for it.

Such a kicker to have to play this shite like

I like what he’s done with us like, a couple of players coming through/improving before the Euros and a better defence and I think we’ll be a genuinely good side.

The Croats are fucking inhuman like.

Should have been put to bed in the 1st half, we’ve seen that so many times.

Need 2 in 10 minutes now

Defending is bad like

Are Croatian’s water birthed into Red Bull?

Cheers Modric

Would be astounded if his bloodstream was any less than 70% amphetamine

Henderson musn’t have been fit like, was utter shite

Swear to god this ref is blind

Aye Henderson has had a bit of a shocker and Kane’s looked bad infront of goal

Croatia have an absurd amount of space everytime the switch it

Croatia tiring

He snuck into the Russian dressing room at half time in the quarters.

This is 100% Newcastle

We cannot defend so we need to snap out of this like
