7 misplaced passes according to fourfourtwo.
Not sure how many times he was caught in possession.

I can remember during the avb era you going off on one about crosses I have a touch of deja vu but that might just be what i picked up at foxy ladies tonight.

That golden generation were all a bunch of selfish wannabes, if they actually worked for each other who knows where we might have got.

after a bit more consideration our lack of a cutting edge and the less than effective pressing in the first hour hopefully won't make Hodgson think he stumbled on something tonight
he still hasn't got the front four right and the evidence suggests it should be Kane/Alli/Lallana and one more, Sturridge's tendencies break the system and Vardy needs room in which to run, they both offer more of a threat later in the game off the bench imo, Rooney is making a decent partnership with Dier so can't move out there, we need Sterling to wake up or preferably (imo) we let Rashford loose down the left, with Rooney and Rose on that side his inexperience shouldn't expose us dangerously
the blueprint for success against England is to sit deep, I don't see a forward line without Kane not playing into that

Agreed . I don't care for international football much at all but I got behind England cos of the Spurs lads. I also agree about the methods, I think the only way that will change is by appointing a foreign coach who isn't Sven. Only English manager who I wouldn't mind getting the job is Eddie Howe but he might be considered to inexperienced at the moment.

It was like watching an AVB Spurs side. Loads of blunt possession, crossing the pitch and looking thoroughly toothless.
Henderson, Wheelchair and others were woeful.

Apologies. By 'crossing', I actually meant passing sideways in a non penetrative fashion.

Not so sure about crossing, but blunt possession is bang on.
Ah, thanks - I understand now. To my knowledge, switching the play from side to side is generally recognised as the best way to pull a determined defence out of shape.
As Leicester showed last season, if a team is organised, settled and stubborn and they're happy to give you the wide areas to cross there isn't a lot that can be done. It takes a bit of magic to break through a defence like that and we nearly got there with Dier's "Hoddle" ball over the top.
That's what happens when everyone defends against you - we've had plenty of those matches this season and failed to break through.
Difference between it just being one of those matches and it being the MO of the manager seems to rely more on one's opinion of said manager than on any kind of reality.

It's unfortunate but we don't have any experienced creative midfield players and probably won't as long a clubs continue to import overseas players for that role. Barkley and Wheelchair are the only ones I can think of and as England have no long term plan they won't be given the chance to develop at international level. For years we've done nothing at tournaments with this lack of planning, just need to have some courage and vision in the appointment of a manager and back them, they can't do any worse than we have for the last 15 years.
Our youth setup is a bigger problem.
Kids need to play in weight categories like in boxing rather than age groups. That would force everyone to learn to play better than the opposition rather than just being bigger/stronger.

Some harsh cpmments against Henderson. He played the great throughball over the top for Vardy to run onto where he shot at the keeper. I think on two occasions on the right he played in Clyne with defence spliting passes to get Clyne in behind the defence. Henderson was also the one who ran into the area and crossed for Alli who had that effort saved off the line.
Also in the first half he had an on target shot from the edge of the box which was blocked
The only mistakes I saw were some overhit crosses.
Also having him and Wheelchair there kind of freed up Dier to enable him to wander a bit more and be creative and progressive with his passing.

England played well yesterday. We were up against a defensive team sitting deep and so had to be patient and creative in order to break the defence down. We created some really good openings but just couldn't score.
A lot like watching Spurs at times last season in fact. That's why I cannot understand the criticism of England from many on here who made plenty of excuses for Spurs when they failed to break down stubborn defences.

Id like to see a mid 3 of Dier, Rooney and Henderson in the next game. Ahead of them id pick Alli Kane and Vardy, kind of a 4312 formation.so they were only there to help him do their jobs for them?
