England looks so confusing right now like they got uppercut to the face. Only two shots on the goal. Very poor. They dont act like a team.
 
I'd love to know what the plan is here. Vardy and Kane are so isolated.

Yeshh, you had Henderson up the left side with Kane playing in central mid who passed over the top to Vardy in the left channel! It's some 4231 but surely England have to make the other 2 subs count and keep the penos in mind.
 
Lack of quality in midfield has caught up with England. Really needed someone who could get their foot on the ball and dictate a game. Guess that was supposed to be Dele’s job.
 
Colombia paid England far too much respect for most of this match.

When they finally had to have a go ... They've seen England for what they are.
 
Walker is spectacularly stupid what's he doing trying to punch the ball like that
 
We've fecked this up majorly. We can't hold possesion and are sitting back too much.
 
Would it be suicide to have stones go into the base of midfield if we have any competent defenders on the bench?
 
This is problem really, This is the stage of the game where you would do anything to have a prime Gerrard/scholes in the midfield. we dont have any composure in midfield in the squad.

England were short of central mids to begin with, hence going into it with a 3 man back line with only Henderson, a pure central mid playing. RLC plays more attacking, Alli is never a central mid, Dier is holding but not needed to pair with Henderson.
 
England are yet to get over the equaliser. It’s their mentality that will be their downfall here. No chance on penalties.
 
Aside from Kane.. just imagine going to pk's with the rest.. nightmare right there. :eek:
 
Why did Vardy come on instead of Rashford?? Been totally anonymous
 
Seriously, stop showing James sitting in the damn stands - this is reaching Park in South Korea during pre-season territory :lol:
