Better players will roast him Yep, thought he was gash, shocking defensively and did nothing of quality going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Cape Town and saw us draw 0-0 with Algeria. So that was nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time we play Columbia, our four most important players so far (Kane, Lingard, Trippier and Henderson) won't have played in over a week. That is a positive though.

hippo Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 How did that Arnold geezer get a game ? - I know he is very young but looked a million miles away from cutting it at this level - the look of relief on his face when he got subbed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he did alright personally. Better than several of his team mates. England are missing someone to hit shots or direct free kicks from around the penalty area. Efforts to date have been dreadful. Luckily we're doing a good job so far getting on the end of crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted June 29, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2018 Delph and Dier were poor , no incisive passing going forward and work rate was well down on what we needed. Really tough match against Columbia now to come and I can't see us getting over that hurdle tbh. If we do then the next game will be against a hard working European team , I would rather play a less physical flair team who struggle under our high press style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right that explains a lot - I was thinking the reason for bright start in the other 2 games was the lack of liverpool media darlings ! - should have known one would be waiting in the wings ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Alexander Arnold stole the show apparently https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-fc-international-duty/2018/6/28/17515912/trent-alexander-arnold-shines-world-cup-competitive-debut-england-belgium "Alexander-Arnold embraced the role, putting in a number of dangerous crosses, as well as a cheeky long-range effort that nearly caught Thibault Courtois out" . "but Alexander-Arnold certainly did enough to make his manager think twice about who will be starting in the round of 16 match against Colombia on Tuesday."

Zatman Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Colombia are being written off by lots of media already. Reminds me of 2016 when Iceland was a foregone conclusion as France was in the quarter finals 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted June 29, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thought we played alright considering it was our B team vs their B team. Wasn't much in the game at all I've got no problems with playing Colombia, they've looked good in games but so have we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's fit and confident he's world class. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
