UEFA Euro 2016 Group B ** spoilers** (England, Slovakia, Russia, Wales)

[Kenai]

Sterling is good for nothing beyond running himself into losing possession

 

[Swagger187]

The service into Kane has been dreadful

?? Kane has been the worst outfield player for England.

 

[Mr Jack]

I'm impressed, we're looking really good. Just think Vardy would have scored by now.

 

[MooMoo444]

Good possession but they arent doing much with it.

 

[Clipsey]

Final ball through has been pretty poor besides Rooney's. Still creating though, so it's a positive.
Sterling should switch sides with Lallana, their right back is fast as a whipet and Sterling prefers to run at people.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Sterling off for Vardy and go with a 4-4-2 with Dier sitting at the bottom of a diamond, Rooney on the left, Lallana on the right and Alli behind the two strikers.

 

[muon]

Rose did well from that awful pass from Hart.

 

[Mr-White]

?? Kane has been the worst outfield player for England.

Exactly, he keeps turning up on the wings, just play him through the middle. There's been several opportunities to play him in through the middle and balls gone out wide.

 

[Ricochet J]

How many pints you had?

Two so far. Brooklyn Coffee Porter.

 

[Robbo]

Good half, just poor finishing. Thankfully we have a number of options to resolve that.

 

[Pighardia]

Think Rose and Walker have both been pretty good so far. Rooney too, Russia giving him loads of space for some reason. Expect that to change on the second half!

 

[MooMoo444]

First time in years I've seen a half end at 45 with no extra time

 

[Swagger187]

Great half but very little end product.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Good half tbh. Rooney's played well in midfield, Lallana's combined well with Walker but the left has looked pretty weak. Sterling off for Vardy.

 

[Dimi]

All that and have produced nada, we've looked fantastic though. Russia looks like a pub team out there.

 

[muon]

Yep, for all the stick I gave him, Rose ended the half well.

Sterling just knocking the ball that tiny bit too far though.

One of the least nervous (me that is) 45 minutes I've seen England play at a tournament.

 

[FiremanSam]

?? Kane has been the worst outfield player for England.

Nope that would be Sterling.

 

[manic111]

I'm impressed, we're looking really good. Just think Vardy would have scored by now.

Agreed, no complaints so far aside from finishing.

I'd be tempted to get Vardy on for Dier at some point, it's not like we need him breaking up play. Russia are offering nothing.

 

[dacads]

All that and have produced nada, we've looked fantastic though. Russia looks like a pub team out there.

Perhaps they've had a few!

 

[BaZ87]

Lee Dixon does know it's 0-0, right?
