Dave Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 England's work rate and attitude have been very good, but not very incisive IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 As great a performance you could get without a goal to show for it. Impressed. Be disappointing if we don't find a way to win this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I think I'm a proper cynical b****** reading this thread. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Why is Kane on corners? It's crazy on two fronts. He's not only poor at them, he should be heading them in! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I mean, I think you're right in that Russia have come to do a containing job, but there's a good reason for that - they're not great. It's not a particularly good containing job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else has been good to brilliant. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Vardy's going to win this isn't he? Rooting for a draw but it just seems all set up for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Is it better to play lovely stuff or be dangerous. Thats the question. We'd probably be more dangerous with even Rooney upfront next to Kane, yet play worse football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
