Only 3 attempts on goal.
Not there's been plenty more, I'm not having blocked shots not count as a shot, it's ridiculous. But Vardy should've scored and so should've Lallana.

That performance from Wilshere was shocking. He lacks sharpness on the turn, slack passing and he's huffing and blowing every 3 minutes. I think everyone else has been okay. Vardy probally the stand out.

Not a big fan of Henderson but I think him and Clyne have been Englands best players so far.

Wilshire and Sturridge have been pretty useless. Bring on Rashford for Sturridge and Alli for Wilshire and I think we will look much better.

Other than the one and one I have forgot Vardy is playing as well.

Someone needs to tell Wilshire he isn't half as good as he thinks he is. And he turns like a rusty gate.

While they are at it, tell Henderson he isn't in a John Smiths commercial.
I agree. Could say the same about sturridge too

Taking the next corner instead of Jones!
You're being way too critical, England has completely dominated the game and could/should have scored on multiple occasions, Slovakia haven't even been anywhere near Hart. I don't know what you expect from them but it's been a dominant performance. If you're expecting them to be up 3-0 at HT I can understand why you'd think this is crap though.
Thanks ;)

Lallana presses and does a nice turn every now and then. That shouldn't be enough to be starting for England but whatever.

Henderson is just completely average. Theres nothing he excels at.

They're going for the 1 point. It will see them through to the knock-out stages.
Wales top the group with 6 pts if they win. England will have 5 and Slovakia 4. No way they are playing for a draw.

England have been okay so far. Controlled the game, did the simple things mostly right. Vardy had a big chance, there were a few other promising efforts but not a lot of creativity. I think they'll find a goal eventually but a little more spark is needed in midfield.

Woy thinks he's resting players because he only needs a draw, but I kind of feel if he started this team against Russia you lot would have won, but including Walker who's been great

Actually, England play quite well. They have created good chances and are solid in defence. Slovakia players haven't touched the ball in England's penalty box.

They are likely to go through with 4 points. Better than to gamble and lose.

This England team has everything. Everything except for aim. They can shoot, pass and cross but they just can't aim it where it is supposed to go.

Henderson is utter shite, im not entirely sure what's controversial about that.

I think Lallana has been decent this entire tournament to be honest, especially against Russia. Been so-so since. Dier has been standout of the tournament though - similar to Hargreaves in 06 back when no one understood why we had a random German in the team.

Slovakia not really trying. They never pile forward in numbers.

So many posts with secret jibes about clubs. Get a grip FFS.
Nothing to do with clubs tbh. Henderson has been utter shite, Lallana is just running round like a headless chicken as per. Bertrand has offered nothing same for wilshere.

Clynes been decent though
