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.

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.

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.

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.
 
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
