Just got back, great view but jeez the leg room was awful.. match was good and atmosphere not bad at all. Just stop the sideways or backwards and we will be ok...

Henderson is streets ahead of Dier for me. Better range of passing, quicker in thought and execution. Fabien Delph did really well too.The team looks balanced and fit. The young Lions have a great stage to show what they can do. As long as stage fright doesn't get the better of them, we can do very well.And I agree, if only we could play in red as the norm!

Germany are going to the WC in poor form.No wins in four going into tonight’s game with Saudi Arabia, a game probably arranged to send them off with a big win, and they managed a 2-1 victory.
It’s a pretty low bar but last night was a competent performance against a very limited side. Second half vs Nigeria where a slightly better side totally neutralised England with a bit of nous from the manager was more telling. It shows how far we’ve sunk when we’re feeling chipper because we’ve managed to come up with one formation that makes the players look half decent against weak opposition. Granted, that IS an improvement on the past half-decade but the main contenders would chuckle to see us congratulating ourselves for that. If these players were comfortable switching formations within and between matches, they might have a chance of surprising people. But it’s highly unlikely. On the plus side, they are moving the ball more quickly when in possession. It’s still a million miles from the instinctive way that thebest sides do it, but at least it’s not the grinding embarrassment of watching England do that 3-4 years ago. That was like watching a hippo in a tutu doing ballet.
Dickos We’re in the final straight before the tournament. Matches from 12 months ago mean nowt. Coaches are fine tuning their approaches and perfecting their tactics. The second half vs Nigeria was not some ignorable poor performance by England. It was the result of a sharp coach making a change to his tactics and totally nullifying England’s set-up. It’s a salutary reminder of how limited we are.
