Aye. She was crying out for a give and go, but Toone stood still behind traffic and just watched her.

 

CMs have been poor here, for me, none of them trying to make the play on the rare occasions we have it.

Yep.  Need James on at HT.  No quality in the middle without her.

 

Spain have ruthlessly exposed the 3-5-2 as well - and playing England’s best goal scorer at LWB is fucking crackers for me.  
 

Still in it though.

I think we were the better team until the goal, since then Spain have just been happy having possession and let England chase them.

I fear now that Spain are 1-0 up, they won’t leave any gaps at the back on a counter attack, although we had a good forward attack later on when she strayed offside.

We have no composure on the final ball though, be it the shot or the pass.

Spain tiki-taka'ing like prime Iniesta and Xavi :shifty: Long way to go and I reckon they'll tire before long in second half but hard to argue against them deserving their lead. Don't think the keeper was getting to that shot off the post on the stroke of half time either

Hard to blame the ref she didnot have had the same close up slow mo everyone else did. Spanish defender with disgraceful play acting is the problem. Taken lessons from Bruno F it seems

Agreed.  It would have looked bad at normal speed from the ref’s angle.
