A positive first half performance, just lacking that cutting edge so far. Russia have only had that one good chance really.

 

I don't understand why Kane is taking the corners. We seem to lack that free kick/corner kick specialist.

 

Rooney got better as the half went on, thought Lallana/Ali were magnificent in the first half.

 

Kane has been anonymous and his corners are terrible!

Roy needs to put Vardy on instead of Rooney that could be the game changer in the second half, I can't see Rooney playing the full 90 mins

 

As my dad perfectly analogized, he looks out of place, like an old man among young men. To be perfectly honest he hasn't got the pace of Lallana, Rose, Kane, or anyone spearheading the England attacks these days, if we are to play him I'd play him as an impact sub, maybe for the last 20 minutes or something, where we need to finish a game off.

 

He's a great player still, and we know that he can finish for England (literally and figuratively), but in this team with this style that we've been playing for the last few games he just doesn't seem to fit in.

Please put Vardy on for the second half, see what happens there or possibly Rashford even. Lallana/Alli have been good so far, Kane looking nervy, Rooney not done much.

 

 

I really fear for England I really do, after seeing Wales playing this afternoon, Wales have easily outclassed England so far, and that's coming from just seeing the first half of this match.

We've been miles better than Wales. and that is coming from someone that slates England at ever possible opportunity.

Russia playing much better now. Could be an goal from them possibly.

 

 

This is painful to watch. GET IN THE f***ING AREA

Surely Roy has to make a substitution now?

 

What a save that was! Unlucky Rooney.

 

 

Clever Rooney for missing that one.

 

Bring on Vardy please

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well truly hammered

Yassss :cheer:

Eric Dier!

 

Fantastic free-kick from him.

Finally! We deserved that.

I'm sure my sister and her family will have heard the cheers from next door. She lives next door to Eric Dier's parents :D

Yes! Only 16 minutes left and we've finally set a goal!

What a strike!

 

Now just hold off the Russians for another 18 minutes. Which I'm not trusting that we will do.

Jack Wilshire... :mellow:

 

At least Rooney is off

What a strike!

 

Now just hold off the Russians for another 18 minutes. Which I'm not trusting that we will do.

Spoken like a true England supporter :lol:

Oh... it's Wilshere.

 

Now yes hold off Russia for the last 10 minutes and don't mess it up.
