No-one is tearing us apart, have they even had a single meaningful shot on target? Everything seems to be stopping quite adequately when it gets through to Lescott and Jagielka.

England have actually stood up well so far.. Still predicting a Spain win, but maybe not 3-1 like I thought earlier.

We'll see how the 2nd half goes!

his passing is cutting us to pieces. they will likely score yet.

One shot and if looks dire from where I'm sitting.

Well that was as **** as every England match is. Spain looking pretty crap as well. Their passing is incredible if the goal is to keep the ball for as long as possible, sadly you have to actually try and give the ball to the net occasionally. They have no penetration or urgency at all, they might as well just be passing it around in their own penalty area for all the threat it's caused. Did they even manage a shot on target? Their defence looks crap as well, Ramos in particular.

The Running Man · 12 Nov 2011 at 18:07

the plan is working? what plan is this? get passed to death and create next to no chances in a home friendly?

Well that's amazing, being torn to shreds, still not a single effort on target. Or meaningful chance at all. In fact the only one that looked remotely threatening was Silvas pass to Villa, which the defence dealt with without issue.

The problem with how we're playing is it will only lead to a 0-0 scoreline. But we're not being torn apart at all. We've barely seen the ball, but that's completely different.

Robert1986 · 12 Nov 2011 at 18:20

Three changes for Spain: Casillas, Silva and Xavi come off for Reina, Mata and Fabregas. Yikes!!

lol, still no Torres. Poor guy.
