2018 FIFA World Cup Play-offs and International Friendlies ** Spoilers ** [8th - 14th November 2017]

I never see any other teams do that thing where the back 4 just pass it in their own half for 30 seconds. We have always seemed to do it. As soon as it reaches midfield we then seem to try and create a chance within 3 passes and then lose the ball. The Germans pass around all team members as they press up, and then pass it around in the opposition half.
 
Yeah a few decent chances for us, certainly more than Germany.

I know it's just a friendly but they seem to like keeping the ball more than creating chances, so certainly a game for the taking.
 
Would be pretty happy to see something like this at the world cup (obviously Loftus-Cheek has a lot more to prove this season, but if he keeps developing then why not - our central midfielders are mostly garbage!)

Pickford

Walker -- Jones -- Keane -- Rose

Loftus-Cheek -- Alli

Sterling -- Lallana -- Rashford

Kane


Or five at the back by bringing in Stones or Dier for Loftus or one of the three AMs.

Trippier easily has a better delivery than Walker's

Yeah he's class, but I've got fed up with people slating me for not rating Walker so I've given up on that argument! Trippier is excellent though, big fan. It's nice seeing an England right back not slam the ball into the first man/the stands every time he goes forward.
 
Winks and Loftus-cheek the future midfield partnership?

Certainly more compelling than the dier Henderson combo
 
Easy transit getting back last night after driving rather than using the train for the full journey like last time.

Loftus- Cheek and Livermore I thought did very well against a decent German midfield. Second half was horrendous, but hey, we didn’t lose against the world champions :)

I'm with you on this. Walker gets away with being crap because he's rapid as ****. He can't cross a ball for toffee. I can genuinely cross better than him. He's been to the the Antonio Valencia school of crossing a ball. Trippier is ace as seen in the Champions League recently and should be starting.
