Might not have scored but that's one of the best England performances I've seen in years. Everyone at it from the start, and with the exception of Kane who looks like he's drunk (and fuck knows why we're persevering with him on corners) the front six including Rooney have been brilliant. Fair play to Hodgson on that front. Lallana in particular has been fucking awesome.

Kane looked nervous before the match, and he hasn't really been able to get into the game. If it continues like that, I'd swap with Vardy.

 

Otherwise not a lot to beef about. With average luck, we could have been 2 up.

 

Apart from breakaways, Russia have looked really poor.

England's work rate and attitude have been very good, but not very incisive IMO.

 

Disagree tbh, I think we've cut Russia open more times than vs the previous 6-7 teams we've faced in tournament football combined. Kane seems too slow to keep pace with the speed of the chances though.

I think I'm a proper cynical b****** reading this thread. :lol:

 

Russia came to do a containing job and have been fairly successful. England have been limited to creating chances and half-chances from deep, which means the quality of chances have been so-so. It's not like they've been cut open repeatedly and their keeper is keeping them in it.

 

Actually, I would say that they've been cut open repeatedly, and (us shooting directly at) their keeper is keeping them in it.

Vardy will be of more use against a team defending high, no need to bring him on yet imo, don't want to upset the balance i guess

 

FFs man balance for what? We're playing great, but you need FINISHERS on the pitch. People are getting carried away.

Who would you replace for Vardy?

 

 

Kane imo, but as I've said before I think Vardy should have started anyway so I'm a bit biased.

 

Id go Sterling/Lallana. Kanes a completely different player if Vardys on there. All of these chances are falling to guys who arent finishers so they're not finishing them.

needs to carry the ball more- preferably between his shoulders.

Completely agree. Kane off for Vardy I'd do as well at half time, he's not at the races today. Everyone else has been good to brilliant.

Lallana really does look like he belongs on the international stage. Although his finishing has been disappointing.

Kane is playing poorly because the defence are sticking to him as he is our only finisher. The entire balance changes if you get another forward on the pitch man.

Nah I feel Kane has had a poor touch and been too slow tonight. Vardy will lose his man and hopefully have a better touch.
