Again, expect better from Harry

Took a slight deflection off Lovren I think - just took it out of his path

Should always anticipate a bad touch from Lovren

Walker off and RLC/Delph on??

Seriously, the switches in play are killing us like a lot of people had predicted. Dele is having to cover two players at once over there and he's having to bust a gut to get there too.

Terrible half from England, let them back in.

Time for leadership from the Manager. Reset their focus and shape, get them psyched. Get all the fresh legs on. Should be able to win it.

 

[Jordinho]

Looks like pens are England's best hope. Lingard and Sterling are complete wastes of space.

 

[Cochise]

Kane and Dele though are putting some good passes together, but the final ball has just been a touch off.

Hanging on at the end of that half, probably Kane"s worse game for England so far. Southgate needs a good old rant at the players or we are going out here.

This system has not been good all world cup, lets be honest have we really been amazing? we beat the teams we should have and some have been a struggle.

He should have done that at HT too imo.

 

[Baleforce]

RLC for me

 

[Yiddo]

Walker, Henderson, Young, Alli, Lingard and Kane have all been tinkle poor in this game. Alli was ok in the first half.

Does that strike you as either Southgate's style or that of a modern, successful manager?

 

[SpurMeUp]

Come on Rose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, but we were on top at half time so a rant was not needed, we need one now because we were really poor second half.

The team need a wake up. Get their focus back - at HT ideally - so they came out ready to play better and to be more clinical.

Wee maybe rant was the wrong word, i should have said he needs to kick some ass because the whole team in the second half were poor.

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

Rose needs to bully the man on his side.

 

[Kandi1977]

Henderson is fudging brick! Receives the ball in the center circle with a ton of space, but sends the ball straight back to the CB with one touch.

Our finishing was poor first half and we needed to up our game, be clinical - as Croatia were obviously going to improve. So for me it was needed - posted the same at HT.
