Second best by far tonight, not sure if we look arsed but I just cannot see any team going lose?

Otis · Jun 28, 2018

Very disappointing performance.

You don't want to go into any next game with a defeat on your backs.

Don't mind if we lose tonight, but play well, but this is a damp squib of an effort.

Covstu · Jun 28, 2018

I think it shows the lack of quality in the squad, no cutting edge all night. No creativity in the midfield and no energy down the wings

lifeskyblue · Jun 28, 2018

Agree. A good performance and a narrow defeat...everyone positive.
A good performance and exciting win or even draw all positive.
A nothing performance and narrow defeat...the fans and media pick out all the negatives.

Err.... have we had any type of meaningful shot yet at all?

Covstu · Jun 28, 2018

Rashford you twat

lifeskyblue · Jun 28, 2018

Should have scored there.

Take Arnold off corners and free kicks

That was a bad miss. It looked like it was going wide anyway without the keeper's hand to it.

How could he not hit the target there?

Obviously Januzaij didnt get that message...

Imagine the conversation:

"You're in the starting 11 Adnan."
That's great boss, a chance to impress"
"But i don't want you to try Adnan".
"fuck off boss"

Didn't think anyone could do worse than Kane, and yet he has managed it

lifeskyblue · Jun 28, 2018

Don’t think any of his dead balls have got more than 3 foot off the ground. Worse than our corners all last season.

For all his decent play, Trent-Arnold's crossing has been rather poor.

lifeskyblue · Jun 28, 2018

Only Rose of the players coming in tonight will give Southgate something to think about. And if stones injured clearly Cahill.

That was his first free kick that reached an England player.

Yes not impressed with his corners,Cant beat the first man or is it all part of the plan?

Belgium can’t be arsed anymore

Makes you think on whether he meant it...

They are doing this on purpose now aren’t they ?

Silly idiots shouldn’t have scored.

We would have to up our game a lot to beat Columbia

Otis · Jun 28, 2018

Some of our final balls have been truly dreadful.

Very, very disappointing and we can't just assume we will beat Colombia.

Japan is clearly the easier of the two fixtures on paper.

Nick · Jun 28, 2018

Imagine paying thousands to go to watch this game.

Otis · Jun 28, 2018

Geez!!!! Welbeck.

Rose and at times Loftus-Cheek have done well.

As for Eric Dier, he is simply not coming forwards. At one point there was acres of space and I think it was Delph who played him a very simple ball into that space and Dier never even attempted to go for it at first.

Poor.

True. Just not sure how much we have wanted this one. Hard to know but yes against Columbia we will need a much better performance.

A very dangerous team at times, Colombia.

We shouldn't have been looking at the path AFTER the Colombia match.

Yes a dangerous team but for a lot of today’s game they were second best to Senegal. They like us look to have weaknesses at the back. Will be close but I think Kane, lingers and sterling will create enough chances. Can we keep cutrado and falcao quiet?

Obvious we were happy to finish second. No pressing them at all in the last 10. I do worry about Columbia though.

Southgate clearly doesn't see it that way.

My mate from work flew out on Wednesday for this game and flys back home tomorrow, he does have a guaranteed ticket for the final if England get there though

For me we should not have been looking at the path AFTER the Colombia match. Very dangerous thing to do.

Going to look like right old mugs if we now lose to Colombia.

This better pay off for us, because we were second best for long periods tonight.

All of that group are dire. If we can’t beat them then we aren’t good enough. Any team would bite your arm off for the passage we have to the semis.

Yes of course it could go wrong at the next hurdle but given the straight choice between beating
Columbia and Switzerland/Sweden
or Japan and Brazil/Mexico
to reach a WC semi final I know what I'd choose.

Liquid Gold · Jun 28, 2018

Hopefully Solanke progresses or someone else comes through in the next 4 years because Welbeck and Vardy are nowhere near this level.

ovduk78 · Jun 28, 2018

I don't know what was worse, Dier's performance or Clive Tydlesley commentary, he truly is an awful commentator with his comment in the first half about best memories always come from world cups the most inane one
