    How many subs we allowed?

    Anything less than 10 not enough

    How are Rose and Trippier still England players!? It’s been a shocking performance all over. They don’t look bothered or like they even want to be there. We know England are bad defensively, but we’ve created nothing either.

    It's like the Chelsea game. Midfield bypassed and cannot retain the ball!

    I think Trippier has done OK and Rose has tried but when you have no outlet you are stuck playing backwards. I personally blame Henderson and Rice tonight. I think I might bring on Barkley, at least he can go around players.

    Maybe swap Rose and Trippier. It may work playing them out of position.....

    Oh I’m not blaming the poor performance on the fullbacks. Just surprised they’re still in the England setup. They are not international standard players imo and I thought England actually had good options at RB at least. The midfield has been very poor too as you say. Henderson (who I’m not a fan of either) has been acting as if he thinks he’s Gerrard, but his performance has been poor and that’s being kind.

    Kane has been our best playmaker!

    Indeed. Can’t win the ball cant pass the ball

    I think Henderson is much better when playing with 2 attacking MFs

    Get Barkley on

    Slightly better this half though

    I like Trippier, though I suspect they will play different fullbacks on Monday, they like to rotate.

    I'm surprised England have not made any changes so far.

    Well what’s the point of two defensive midfielders and conceding a goal like that

    Rice and Henderson NO!

    Rose NO

    Rashford off form so why’s he coming in before Abraham who’s in great form

    Gareth sort it out :emoticon-0104-surpr

    Win or lose, I can't get too excited about England. Is that wrong?

    I heard it would take some contagious a long time to sort both out?

    I gave up watching on 80 minutes, went to bed, read my book and learned a new word, that I think will form part of my vocabulary, at work.
