World Cup 2022

[DE.]

We need to be careful or we're going to get sucker punched. The US are looking dangerous on the counter and we're ponderous outside their penalty area, with very limited creativity to break down their defensive lines. Feels like we're set up to get behind a defence when we really need a locksmith in there.

usa putting a lot of running and closing down in,doubtful that they`ll be able to keep it up,we`ll probably bag a few in the second half

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

We’re playing walking football again.

[matt83]

Poor stuff so far this half. 

[Ianrally]

Come on England wake up. This isn’t a Carabao Cup match it’s the bloody World Cup. 

[had.e.nuff]

this could be Rovers in any away game this season tippy tappy and give them the ball

[Claytons Left Boot]

England players playing like there’s 3lb of lead in each of their boots. Terrible performance, so far.

[matt83]

This is like watching rovers. Pointless possession interspersed with bugger all shots on goal. 

[simongarnerisgod]

game is made for foden to deliver the final pass,the yanks have got us sussed out wide,not to sure that southgate is keen on individuality

[DE.]

Poor half overall. We need more creativity on the pitch. Plenty of athleticism out there but not enough ingenuity for my liking. 

[Claytons Left Boot]

Just been talking about getting Foden/Grealish and/or Ratchford on for the second half. Not after 60 or 65 minutes. Needs to be now and we need to up the tempo.

[jim mk2]

Decent opposition after the Iran training match and England look very ordinary. We’re on the back foot and second to nearly every ball. US keeper looks good, who does he play for? 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Changes needed, Grealish/Foden?

they`ve sussed us out and if they can keep up their intensity levels they will continue to threaten,southgate needs to get someone creative on,find the space and deliver the killer ball

That Stones to Maguire rinse and repeat is a killer, it dampens everything. If it goes out to Trippier all he does is pass it back. It's chronic.

Wales changed it and went more direct to Keifer Moore. I’d get Toney on and do the same.

Oh wait…..

The Americans have the measure of England tactically. Southgate is doing a fair impression of Tomasson here with the inane passing and walking football whilst the Yanks are playing through the lines with pace.

[jim mk2]

Gary Neville..,.England defenders having too many passes …. has he seen Rovers? 

[matt83]

This half has started as bad as the first half. 

[simongarnerisgod]

will there be changes on the hour mark?????????

[Displaced Rover]

Mason Mount is shite. I’m astounded he’s been picked in this team against the many other options Southgate has 

[matt83]

Come on Gareth. Make some bloody changes. This is dire. 

[simongarnerisgod]

come on gareth,time for a tactical switch and a sub

[Darrenbot]

What is Southgate seeing that the rest of us aren't thats stopping him making changes
