World Cup 2018 | 11th July | SF: Croatia vs England Match Thread, KO 19:00 (BST)

[Paladin]

Alli has been anonymous. In fact none of our midfield are showing for the ball. Ever. I can't see us getting through the next 30 minutes without conceding.

 

[quiet_riot]

Have we got 3 subs left now?

Trouble is, they need about 6

 

[urban genie]

tbf to kane he keeps.dropping deep to protect his spurs teamate ali who has been shite in every game, meaning he isn't near the front line, young has been awful need to bring lofty or delphinho on for ali and shore up the middle

 

[Neville Kneville]

L

Because no-one's noticed that he is.

Like.

Don't understand taking Sterling off irrespective of who comes on.

 

[Silva_Spell]

What exactly got us to the point of winning 1-0 in a WC Semi Final?

• Pass from the back through to Lingard/Sterling/Alli/Kane, keep the ball and win set pieces, score from set pieces

What have we done in the 2nd half?

• Pickford booting it up for their CBs to double up on Kane and win the ball back. No control. No set pieces. No chances. No goals.

Finally.

 

[Metalartin]

Vardy>Kane, Cheek>Alli, Delph>Young.

Why has Southgate not used the subs available to him to try and get the game won in 90mins?

 

[blue roo]

Feeling sorry for the defence. Tackle after tackle, block after block, header after header but back it comes with no midfield to pick up the second ball.

Totally this.
Our midfield is wanting in all areas.
Delle Fucking Ali , what does he bring to the table?
Henderson , tries hard but not good enough.
Lingard , meh.

 

[cptnemo]

Are we going to win.?

Yes. Will score next 10 mins. Stones corner.

 

[kaz7]

Why is he saying ky is struggling,he is having a good game
