Not too many changes for England (4), well less than I thought there would be.

I'm amazed Trippier is fit to start though.

Thought Tripper looked odds on to miss the first few weeks of the season when he went off.

Makes you wonder what the injury was and why he couldn't play the last 5 minutes.

Poor from Rose again. Two goals his fault this tournament against Belgium.

Belgium look like a cohesive unit on attack, we look like a bunch of individuals.

England the new everton,,,only iran have created less chances from open play

blueToffee · July 14, 2018, 09:40:45 PM

Kane has been worse than Sterling these last 3 games.

Yeah you're right, we've been garbage in this tournament. Another disaster.

blueToffee · July 14, 2018, 09:45:04 PM

Have any of the non starting XI had a good tournament? It seems like our bench was hardly used for good reason. Nobody who has come in has really staked a claim for a starting place.

It’s been easy street.

Every time we’ve come up against half decent (or better) opposition we’ve been bummed.

Stones has been largely very good this tournament. Slightly surprising given his little playing beforehand.

Loftus-Cheek has done more than Alli.

What’s with the away kits?

Both been pretty average for me. I don't think either have should be first choice from what they've currently shown at international level.

RLC hasn't had much time, but he's not showing he's what we need there either as yet. We need some creativity from that position.

Alli I don't think has ever had a great 90 mins for England. Some players just don't play well at international level. Albeit his club form wasn't the greatest this past season either.
