If Toone had moved Bronze could have played her in but she just stood there. Both Toone and Stanway are passengers right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

England seem only to have the long ball, and hopes something falls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,360 Posted August 20, 2023 Forwards don’t seem to be playing together, just independently. Not very cohesive going forwards right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vertical lines! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,795 Posted August 20, 2023 You could argue Spain should be 2-0 up.. But given the chances England have had could very well be 2-2 right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

littleyellowbirdie 2,593 Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) We've been owned tactically this second half. Wherever the ball goes there seem to be three times as many Spanish players. They should be down to 10 for that ball kicked away though. Edited August 20, 2023 by littleyellowbirdie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted August 20, 2023 I do not know what England even tried to do. Constantly dribbling through a packed centre, even when we've got pace on the wings. Utterly bizarre and such a shame to have come up so, so short on the big occasion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,224 Posted August 20, 2023 This second half has been awful. No shape, no midfield, cheaply losing possession every time they attempt to go forward. Taking off both of your best strikers and sticking two defenders upfront is just utterly bizarre tactics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
