Just caught up with this thread and have to say I don't think we're doing too bad, Belgium are a bloody good side, they scored early but since then Pickford has had one serious save to make, I like Loftus Cheek much stronger on the ball than others. The changes at half time have helped I think, our biggest problem is our movement up front.

Yep. Ashley Young part 2

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water?

 

[Paul Anthony]

If we're relying on set pieces to win, then it's going to cost us again if we don't win the ball because Belgium are slicing through us like the proverbial hot knife through butter.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Another Kane miss hit shot.

He's miles off the pace, he can't be fully fit.

 

[Nick]

Loftus cheek probably our best player.

Yup. We seem bereft of ideas.

Why has he been playing though?

All out assault on Rashford. Why is that not a pen!

Absolutely. No where near ball, jumped into the man

Off the line!

 

[Otis]

Was thinking that same.

He looks lethargic and not at all sharp.

Bet we find out afterwards that he has been carrying an injury.

 

[Nick]

Should have scored then

 

[Otis]

Dier needs to hit that harder!!

That would just be an excuse though, if he has injured he shouldn't have played the last few games where he has been anonymous

 

[Otis]

Belgium have tired.

 

[Paul Anthony]

I've no idea. But he doesn't look anywhere near fully fit to me.

If it's a 75% Kane or a full fit Vardy I know what my choice would be.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Much better half

 

[Nick]

Strikers on corners again??

 

[Otis]

Dier looking much better when coming forwards.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Found a bit of life, just can't make the most of it, at the minute.

 

[Otis]

Much better half

It is. Much more encouraging.

Did mention in the first half that I didn't think Belgium could keep up that pace.

Telling on them now I think.

 

[Otis]

Phil Jones. WTF!

 

[Paul Anthony]

Surely that had to be a free kick? Awful decision.

 

[Covstu]

Playing okay but doubt we will score

 

[Nick]

Loftus cheek more threatening than alli and lingard have been for the last 4 games.

 

[Otis]

Hats off to England. Should now probably be level

 

[Paul Anthony]

Thank goodness Jordan Pickford is a decent keeper.

 

[Nick]

Great volley that was, good save too

 

[Otis]

Why doesn't Loftus-Cheek bloody shoot????

Seems a real reluctance from him. So frustrating.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Enjoyed this half (unusual when we're losing)!

 

[Johnnythespider]

That would have been goal of the tournament from Belgium

 

[Paul Anthony]

Game over, good night

 

[lifeskyblue]

No third place now
